Lyrics
ROCK ME (Em)
Teri Wilder c 2006
I'M HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING MY HEAD CAUSE I'VE BEEN SHAKEN TO MY CORE
I SEE THE CLOUDS STIRRING UP SOME KIND OF TROUBLE AHEAD
AND AS I'M REACHING FOR THE OAR
AN ICY CHILL PULLS ME IN MY KNEES GIVE WAY AGAIN AND AGAIN
I LOSE MY VOICE IN THE HOWLING WIND AS THE THUNDER CALLS MY NAME
AND I'M SHIVERIN' AS IT'S DELIVERIN' A MESSAGE TO ME
CHORUS
YOU GOTTA ROCK THE BOAT TO ROLL ANOTHER WAVE
AND RIDE YOUR WAY TO ANOTHER SHORE
WHEN I CAN SEE IT'S MOVING ME AND I'M ON MY FEET AGIN
I SAY ROCK ME YEAH AND ROLL ME ON MY WAY
THE SKY IS CLEAR THE WATERS ARE CALM AND I'M STEADY ON MY COURSE
IT'S FEELING EASY JUST GLIDING ALONG FREE FROM ANY FORCE
NOWHERE TO GO NOTHING NEW TO WIN
THE SAME ROUTINE AND IT'S SINKING IN
I WANT TO BE WHERE I'VE NEVER BEEN SO I HAIL THE WINDS OF CHANGE
AND I'M TREMBLING CAUSE IT'S SENDING THE MESSAGE TO ME
CHORUS
YOU GOTTA ROCK THE BOAT TO ROLL ANOTHER WAVE
AND RIDE YOUR WAY TO ANOTHER SHORE
WHEN I CAN SEE IT'S MOVING ME AND I'M ON MY FEET AGIN
I SAY ROCK ME YEAH AND ROLL ME ON MY WAY
BRIDGE
WAVE AFTER WAVE SHORE AFTER SHORE
WE CAN ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO BE MORE MORE MORE
CHORUS
YOU GOTTA ROCK THE BOAT TO ROLL ANOTHER WAVE
AND RIDE YOUR WAY TO ANOTHER SHORE
WHEN I CAN SEE IT'S MOVING ME AND I'M ON MY FEET AGIN
I SAY ROCK ME YEAH AND ROLL ME ON MY WAY
COME ON AND ROCK ME YEAH AND ROLL ME ON MY WAY
YEAH ROCK ME!
