Sister Ruth Songtext
von Ace of Cups

Sister Ruth, so many years ago
She said where you may be going, I will go
Woah my sisters, can we do less today?
When the balance hangs, it could go either way

America′s still waters have been stirred
Can the songs of love and freedom still be heard?
Woah, my brothers, have we gone far astray?
When the balance hangs it could go either way

Rock a bye that little child, sleeping in his mama's arms
Tokyo to Mexico, from here to Lebanon
Will he have shelter in a storm, a place to play and grow?
One human family ya know
We all know


This life may be a moment long
You turn around, and find that moment gone
Woah give yourself to the ones you love
Before they slip away
When the balance hangs, it could go either way

Rock a bye that little child, sleepin′ in his mama's arms
Tokyo to Mexico, from here to Lebanon
Will he have shelter in a storm, a place to play and grow?
One human family ya know, we all know

Sister Ruth, so many years ago
She said, where you may be going, I will go
Woah my sisters, can we do less today?
When the balance hangs it could go either way

Rock a bye that little child, sleepin' in his mama′s arms
Tokyo to Mexico, from here to Lebanon
Every daddy′s little girl, and every mother's son
Born into this crazy world, someone′s precious one
Will they have shelter from the storm, a place to grow and play?
When the balance hangs, it could go either way

Either way, could go either way
Either way, could go either way
