The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved

Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved

And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago

Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow



Say what you like to, do what you do

Everyone's sleeping now two by two

Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall



Big rain comin'

Big rain comin' this way

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock



The sea is the space which the rock has displaced

The mind is some stranger that some soul has embraced

And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams

The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed



Say what you like to, do what you can

Live like a sheep, die like a lamb

Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall



Big rain comin'

Big rain comin' this way

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock



The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll

In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole

When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next

The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left



Late one night when the moon shone down

We went to the mill on the edge of the town

She wore white, I wore black

The town was sleeping when we got back



Big rain comin'

Big rain comin' this way

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock



The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed

Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed

And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see

The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be



Say what you like to, do what you do

Everyone's sleeping now two by two

Bats in the roof, cats in the hall

Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall



Oh.. Big rain comin'

Big rain comin' this way

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock

Rain on the rock



The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved

Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved

And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago

Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow



And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago

Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
