U.F.O. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lord, I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river going to flow
It just seems that upstream, I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go
[Verse 2]
Then that light hits your eye
I know, I swear
We'll find somewhere
The streets are paved with gold
Bullets fly, split the sky
But that's alright, sometimes
Sunlight comes streaming through the holes
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Lord, I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river going to flow
It just seems that upstream, I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go
[Verse 2]
Then that light hits your eye
I know, I swear
We'll find somewhere
The streets are paved with gold
Bullets fly, split the sky
But that's alright, sometimes
Sunlight comes streaming through the holes
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh

Genius Answer
According to Songfacts, Martin told Music Week:
That’s a kind of prayer ‘times’ kind of song. There’s a lot of feeling lost on the album but also being found as well and that’s very much a bit of both.
