Out on the rollin' sea Jesus speaks to me 
Out on the rollin' sea when she rolls 
Out on the rollin' sea Jesus speaks to me 
Out on the rollin' sea when she rolls 

Out on the rollin' sea, just the fish and the gulls and me 
As far as I can see it's just green and blue 
The hot sun beatin' down, bakin' my body brown 
There's not a thing in this world I'd rather do 

Waves bobbin' up and down, tossin' me all around 
Where I'm gonna end up only heaven knows 
I'm driftin' with the tide, it's a slow and easy ride 
I take it how it comes and how it goes 

Above the world of the sea and below the world of the sky 
My boat floats in a line between the two 
I lost my sense of time when I left the land behind 
I don't care which is old or which is new 

Life has been this way since the dawn of the first day 
No matter what we plan or how we roam 
We're passin' through this place each at our different pace 
The world is just a journey, it's not our home 

Cannot own the earth, can't count how much it's worth 
Cannot keep the riches that you earn 
Remember you're a guest and forget about the rest 
Just look and listen, love and try to learn
