Back in the days when the earth was young Men grew very old And if you lived nine hundred years You won't outlive your father Back in the days when the earth was young Hearts grew very cold Too long away from the One who made them They could not be bothered The Lord said "I have had enough of this I'm gonna send water Noah build yourself a boat For the things worth saving All these people and there's only one who pleases Me That's the way My story goes" Back in the days when the earth was young Noah built the boat And all that God desired to save Came on board to meet him Everyone in Noah's house Was counted with their father But all the rest, they were left God could not be bothered The Lord said "I have had enough of this I'm gonna send water Noah build yourself a boat For the things worth saving All these people and there's only one who pleases Me That's the way My story goes" The Lord said "I have had enough of this I'm gonna send water Noah build yourself a boat For the things worth saving All these people and there's only one who pleases Me That's the way My story goes That's the way My story goes"
