| The world’s a tiny blue-green ark
|
| Afloat in darkest space
|
| And every creature lives his time
|
| And knows his special place
|
| And each of us is Noah
|
| With a life all in our care
|
| To keep against the darkness
|
| That’s flooding everywhere
|
| We’ve got to walk with the lion
|
| Soar with the eagle
|
| Sing with the nightingale
|
| And live in love and peace
|
| The times have made us fearful
|
| And our fears have brought the tears
|
| The loneliness and darkness
|
| Have grown bitter with the years
|
| But a light is just beyond us
|
| And the children almost see
|
| A world that we’ve forgotten
|
| And the world they want to be
|
| When we walk with the lion
|
| Soar with the eagle
|
| Sing with the nightingale
|
| And live in love and peace
|
| The ark is getting crowded now
|
| And each of us must know
|
| When everything is finished here
|
| There’s no where else to go
|
| The beasts are here to bless us
|
| And the faith is in their eyes
|
| That we can find the garden
|
| And see that sweet dawn rise
|
| And we can walk with the lion
|
| Soar with the eagle
|
| Sing with the nightingale
|
| And live in love and peace
|
| We’ve got to walk with the lion
|
| Soar with the eagle
|
| Sing with the nightingale
|
| And live in love and peace |
