Rock Me on the Water - Jackson Browne

:

The lyrics tell an apocalyptic tale of unheeded warnings, anomie, and confusion. At the song's mention of "the towers are turning," I remember reading a September 11 description of "the towers turning to dust."
But the lyrics also speak of people helping, if they can, and remembrance. As water symbolizes rebirth, I also believe that ultimately, this is a song of hope.
