Gather Up

Gather up your children, the earth is reelin'

The seas are bound to swell

The ground, it trembles underneath your feet

Awaken to the warning bell

Gather up, children, don't you wait 'til mornin'

The nightingale has sang

Skies are weeping and the dogs run wild

The bells of the steeple clang

Gather up

Gather up

Gather up

Gather up your children, the ocean's spillin'

The floodwall's bound to breach

No bulb shinin', have to see by lighting

The old man starts to preach

Gather up

Gather up

Gather up

Gather up

Gather up your children

While the good Lord's willin' to be merciful

Bearded Moses, won't ya stem this tide

And take us home?

Gather up
