The Ark Lyrics

INTRO: Dm Am G F Am
N.C. C
It was just about a year ago
I woke up from a dream
That filled my soul with wonder
Where the heavens rained down water
And it filled the lakes and streams
And the world was shook by thunder
And the waters came together
'Til they formed a mighty sea
And all the land went under
So I started making plans
And my sons all felled the trees
And the wood they set to planing
While the women built the stockpile
Of provision grain and seeds
And relationships were straining
All the townfolk think we're crazy
When we pass them on the street
They look down at their feet
BRIDGE:
It's three hundred cubits long
Like the belly of a bird
Three decks high and strong enough
To ride upon the surge
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C F C G C Dm Am G C F Am F Am
So gather up the grandchildren
And all the ones we love
And the animals for breeding
Don't forget the donkeys
And the ravens and the doves
Someday we might need them
There is nothing we can do now
For the ones who will remain
And the sky that looks like rain
And the sky looks like rain
