Be Like Noah

I When I was just a little one Daddy read a story about a man Who built his own boat And on a hot desert sand it stood Built on hope out of wood Folks laughed and said it wouldn't float They said "the nearest sea Is a thousand miles away That ship will never sail" He never lost his faith Then Daddy closed the book he read And took me and then kissed my head Said "let this lesson light your way" You gotta do what you've gotta do You gotta be who you are Don't let the world hold you down When you're reaching for your star Remember, some will follow others While others follow their hearts Be like Noah, Build your own ark. II I guess I'll always remember Standing in the cold September rain Parking up my car Daddy stood there on my shoulder Said I can't believe you're old enough But I guess you are Now set your course On what you know is right Believe in yourself Don't be afraid to try Cause even eagles fall from heaven On the day they stop believing That they can't fly
