Lyrics
(Orchestral Introduction)
Good Noah built an ark to hold the animals and men
Two by two they came as the Lord commanded them
All the people laughed, and said "Noah's lost his mind"
Because they did not listen, they would all be left behind
The heavens opened wide and the rains came falling down!
And when the storm had ended there was a sea upon the ground
An olive branch was found by a single white dove
And Noah fell to his knees and gave praise to God above
The animals in the ark looked out upon the land
Two by two they left as the Lord commanded them
A rainbow painted sky was God's promise to all men
That the Lord would not use water to destroy the world again
A rainbow painted sky was God's promise to all men
That the Lord would not use water to destroy the world again
That the Lord would not use water to destroy the world again
