Noah

Lyrics

Brothers?
 (Yeah)
 Sisters?
 (Yeah)
 Says here in Genesis, one chapter one
 In the beginning God made the earth
 And also says here in Genesis, in six chapter six
 That the children of Israel were sinning (sinning)
 They were sinning (sinning)
 They were sinning (sinning)
 What did I say? ("They were sinning")
 That's exactly what I said
 And when God saw them sinning
 It hurt Him to his heart, it hurt Him so bad
 It made Him mad, it made Him so mad he was angry
 And when God got angry the sky turned dark
 And it was than that he told Noah to build the ark
 Who built the ark (Noah)
 Who built the ark (Noah)
 Who built the ark (Noah, Noah)
 Noah built that ark
 Children stop to steel, listen to me
 God walked down by the Briny sea
 He beheld evil of the sinful men
 Declared that he would destroy her land
 Spoke to Noah then Noah stopped
 He said look here Noah build me an ark
 Won't you build it big and strong
 Build it Three hundred cubic long, 30 high, about 50 wide
 I want it to stand my rain and tide
 On this day I make my mark
 In a Hundred years I want that ark
 Knocking thru' with this evil land
 Not a living thing is gonna stand
 Except the things that I tell to you
 That I'm gonna need, when the world is new
 I've been east and I've been west
 I decided to put this world at rest
 I've been up and I've been down
 Nothing but evil all around
 I've seen brother turn against brother
 Up this high and it'll go no further
 Women weep and children mourn
 Sorry, the day that men was born
 Sinful people one by one
 Sorry, the day my wrath begun
 Sorry, the day my wrath begun
 Sorry, the day my wrath begun
 Sorry, the day my wrath begun
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 And all this land is my land
 Not a living thing is gonna stand
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 Who built the ark? (Noah) Yeah
 Who built the ark? (Noah) Yeah
 Who built the ark? (Noah Noah)
 Noah built the ark
 When after God told him what to do
 Then the work began cut and hew
 Ringing o' the hammer was judgment
 Ringing o' the saw God said "Repent"
 Hundred years he hammered and sawed
 Building the ark by the grace of God
 After the foundation was laid
 Hewed down the timber and the ark was made
 Called in the animals two by two
 There was the Ox, the Camel and the Kangaroo
 Hallowed in the monkey and the crocodile
 He even made the animals they couldn't smile
 Packed them in the ark so tight
 The Owl couldn't get no sleep at night
 Called in Japheth and Shem and Ham
 God began to flood the land
 Raised his hand to heaven on high
 And knocked that sun and the moon from the sky
 Shook the mountains and disturbed the sea
 Hitched his reins to his Chariot Wheel
 Stepped on land and stood out on shore
 Declared this time couldn't be no more
 Declared this time couldn't be no more
 Declared this time couldn't be no more
 Declared this time couldn't be no more
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ('cause it's gonna rain)
 'Cause it's gonna rain ain-ain-ain-ain-ain-ain-ain-ain
