“California Blue” tells the story of the Jesus Movement in Southern California, a phenomenon in the early to mid 1970s in which hundreds of hippies were converted to Protestant Christianity, many of them at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. Many new converts were baptized in the Pacific Ocean.
[Chorus]
Come on down
To California Blue
Bring your old man
Your old lady, too
Plunge in, then out
You will be like new
Catch a ride, get inside that big California Blue
[Verse 1]
To some, it's just a gold rush
’Cause fool's gold does entice
But deep beneath the surface
Lies a pearl of great price
And to those who take possession
There's salvation, love, and glory
Dirty clothes to garments white
In this rags-to-riches story
[Chorus]
Come on down
(I was in town, so I thought I’d phone ya)
To California Blue
(See how you're doin' and say "aloha")
Bring your old man
(If you're inclined, we'll go to California)
Your old lady, too
(Make our way out to Little Corona)
Plunge in, then out
(I was in town, so I thought I'd phone ya)
You will be like new
(See how you're doin' and say "ooh")
Catch a ride, get inside that big California Blue
Here we go, whoo!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Seagulls are descending
Like a flock of holy doves
A promise of an endless summer
Sunshine and eternal love
And if you want a happy ending
Of salvation, love, and glory
Climb on down to the surf and sand
Where you’ll hear the old, old story
[Chorus]
So come on down
(I was in town, so I thought I’d phone ya)
To California Blue
(See how you're doin’ and say "aloha")
Bring your old man
(If you're inclined, we'll go to California)
Your old lady, too
(Make our way out to Little Corona)
Plunge in, then out
(I was in town, so I thought I'd phone ya)
You will be like new
(See how you’re doin' and say "ooh")
Catch a ride, get inside that big California Blue
So catch a ride, get inside that big California Blue
So catch a ride, get inside that big California Blue
