I was born just east of Eden, many centuries ago And with Adam down to Jared I have watched this river flow The name my father gave me, soon it's message will be done Methuselah he called me, when he dies then it shall come. In the first three hundred years I saw him almost every day Though Enoch is my father, still it's true these words I say. That there never lived a man like him who walked with God above So merciful and righteous, and so full of faith and love An otherworldly wisdom was in all he'd do and say And I'd feel God's holy power every time that he would pray. So often I would see him, sitting quiet by the tree, And I could hear the heavenly voices And the light was strange to see. I followed when he climbed upon the mountain top that day For I knew somehow the time had come for him to go away And I say the Lord descending And the glory of His throne When He took him from the earth And left me kneeling there alone. I could see the darkness deepening now My race is almost run There's a rumbling in the distance And at last your ark is done. And Noah, now you've come to me, It's time for me to die. Enoch's voice is calling me And I must say goodbye My father's voice is calling me It's time to say goodby Goodbye.
