The Ark Lyrics

God, he called for rain
So I built a ark, but no rain came
I was ashamed

Man, he called for war

So I built a gun and I joined the corps
But I was unsure

Love, she asked for more
But what I gave only made her poor
I wasn't sure

The dove, she promised land
As she laid the branch right into my hand
There was no land

Oh, what does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
Yes, I know because I can and I will

Oh, what does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will

Oh, what does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
Yes, I know because I can and I will
