When the ship runs out of ocean

and the vessel runs aground

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



But there's something beside the shoreline

Coming up from the shipwreck

Moving across the beachhead

Making as if to say



CHORUS

Women and men

Women and men

Women and men

Bringing with them messages of love

And everywhere they go love will grow

When you see the faces of the women

And the men, you too will know



Women and men have crossed the ocean

they 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
