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
Gather up
Gather up
Gather up
