The Edwin Hawkins Singers
Sunfighter
You know we found a place on the land
Where we can lay down and watch the ocean roll
And we walk in the sand my lady and me
And we watch and see the child grow
But the hand of man came runnin' through
Runnin' through you and me
Hurricane nighttime sympathy for you and for me
And there ain't no more room here, no more room here
No more room on this planet to grow
The rambler man he comes and he goes in our land
And gets you people on and we sing his song
With a little bit of San Francisco added on
Gonna get you people here all together, gonna roll
Roll on you - try to move your minds together
Gonna try to pull you through -
Sub carbon oscillation, sunshine blurring fascination
Pulsar craft, moving fast, gonna take me past the hand of man to you
The sword of the lord don't mean nothin' to me if he won't get down
On the people makin' such a mess of the land and the sea all around me...
Got to learn to leave the planet be
No more room here to fuck around like we did before
Just maybe one more chance to leave it be
Sunfighter - gunfighter -
Mount the earth and learn to ride her -
Feel the land movin under you
I can feel you all around me
I can feel you huntin, bowstring weary
Hear me clearly - I see you -
And I like it here -
I like it here
Sunfighter - gunfighter -
Mount the earth and learn to ride her -
Feel the land, nighttime hurricane - movin under you
