It was just about a year ago I woke up from a dream That filled my soul with wonder Where the heavens rained down water and it filled the lakes and streams And the world was shook by thunder And the waters came together til they formed a mighty sea And all the land went under So I started making plans and my sons all felled the trees And the wood they set to planing While the women built the stockpile of provision grain and seeds And relationships were straining All the townfolk think we're crazy when we pass them on the street They look down at their feet It's 300 cubits long Like the belly of a bird Three decks high and strong enough To ride upon the surge So gather up the grandchildren and all the ones we love And the animals for breeding Don't forget the donkeys and the ravens and the doves Someday we might need them There is nothing we can do now for the ones who will remain And the sky that looks like rain And the sky looks like rain
