Noah

On the first of December

I was commissioned to sail away

On a ship that was sinking

Forty nights

And forty days

And while I went under

The tears of a murdered land

Were turning the earth info sand

I'm too cold to be sleeping

So I light up a candle of regret

To burn the secrets I'm keeping

And pray that someday I can forget

The cries of my people

The voices of doubt inside my head

I think of the things that you said

Am I alone here

Are there others like me too

Safe in my capsule

Unable to move

How long has it been now

And where will this journey end

Will it end

Ohhh

Yeah yeah

Got the hands of a farmer

The worlds of a preacher's tongur

Got the heart of a sailor

To believe till your work is done

I will stand in the ocean with these

Wooden planks under my feet

I will come to your table

After my journey's complete

Yeah oh oh

I believe in the future

I can feel the blood rising in my veins

It's the sound of a battle cry

When only the echo remains

I will serve you forever

I will build you a nation of love

I'm relying on luck, oh God

The four-leaf clover from a dove

And isn't it crazy

For me to start life brand new

And when I find Ararat

The first thing that I do

Stright across the country-side

And nap in that sweet sunlight

Yeah

I'll be singing a love song

For my, my dear dear wife

And nap in that sweet sunlight

Before the night is over

I'll be crying on your shoulder

My wild imagination

Is keeping me from losing patience

Why did you make us

Only to tear us away

Why have you chosen me

It was your fault anyway
