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
