The Ark

See the dark night has come down on us The world is livin' in its dream But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. The time has come to trust that guiding light And leavin' all the rest behind We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known. If you travel blindly, if you fall The truth is there to set you free And when your heart can see just one thing in this life We'll set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known. See the dark night has come down on us The world is livin' in its dream But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known.
