On the first of December
I was commissioned to sail away
I was tasked to set sail
On a ship that was sinking
On a vessel that was going down
Forty nights and forty days
For forty nights and forty days
And while I went under
And as I sank below
The tears of a murdered land
Were turning the earth into sand
Turned the soil into sand
I'm too cold to be sleeping
So I light up a candle of regret
To burn the secrets I'm keeping
To scorch the secrets I'm hiding
And pray that someday I can forget
The cries of my people
The voices of doubt inside my head
I think of the things that you said
Am I alone here?
Are there others like me too
Safe in my capsule
Unable to move
How long has it been now?
And where will this journey end?
Will it end, ohhh yeah
I got the hands of a farmer
The worlds of a preacher's tongur
Got the heart of a sailor
To believe till your work is done
I will stand in the ocean
With these wooden planks under my feet
I will come to your table
After my journey's complete
Yeah oh oh
I believe in the future
I can feel the blood rising in my veins
It's the sound of a battle cry
When only the echo remains
I will serve you forever
I will build you a nation of love
I'm relying on luck, oh God
The fourleaf clover from a dove
And isn't it crazy
For me to start life brand new？
And when I find Ararat
The first thing that I do
Stright across the country-side
Straight across the countryside
And nap in that sweet sunlight
Yeah
And I'll be singing a love song
For my, my dear dear wife
And nap in that sweet sunlight
Before the night is over
And I'll be crying on your shoulder
My wild imagination
Is keeping me from losing patience
Why did you make us
Only to tear us away?
And why have you chosen me?
It was your fault anyway
