First verse:
SOL DO
When the ship runs out of ocean
SOL RE
And the vessel runs aground
DO RE SOL
Land's where we know the boat is found.
Now there's nothing unexpected,
about the water running out,
"Land's" not a word we have to shout.
RE DO
But there's something beside the shoreline,
SOL DO
moving across the beachhead,
RE DO
coming up from the shipwreck,
SOL RE
making as if to say
Chorus (sing 2x):
SOL DO SOL RE
Women and men
SOL DO RE SOL
Women and men
Part after chorus (middle-eight?):
RE
Women and men
DO RE DO
bringing with them messages of love
SOL DO SOL DO
and everywhere they go, love will grow
women and men
when you see the faces of the women
and the men you too will know
2nd verse:
Women and men have crossed the ocean
and now begin to pour
out from the boat and up the shore.
Two by two they enter the jungle
and soon they number more
three by three as well as four by four.
Soon the stream of people gets wider,
then it becomes a river,
river becomes an ocean,
carrying ships that bear
Chorus (end on G)
