Noah

The world’s a tiny blue-green ark
Afloat in darkest space.
And every creature lives his time
And knows his special place
And each of us is Noah
With a life all in our care
To keep against the darkness
That’s flooding everywhere
We’ve got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.
The times have made us fearful
And our fears have brought the tears
The loneliness and darkness
Have grown bitter with the years
But a light is just beyond us And the children almost see
A world that we’ve forgotten
And the world they want to be
