Noah: Seeds of Change
CHORUS (Matt Bar and Jamie Stein):
The seeds of change they need the rain to grow
Soil turned and the wind to blow
I'll greet your eyes with a greater rainbow than ever known
Release the dove from the ark window
Watch it fly above a world re-sown
Feast your eyes on my great rainbow
Verse 1:
I prefer that you hurt me, work me, murk me
Take me to the desert and just desert me
Treat me like Cain with you word and curse me
You tell me that I'm righteous but my plight is worse see
Me building in the shadows, a boat with no paddles
The coast ain't close so the people think I'm mad though
I try to pull em' pull em' like a la**o
The ark is my horse and the lord is my saddle
Yea, but these people be clowning
And I won't hear no sounds when these clowns be drowning
Just some high pitch screams like a Shoalin shouting
The waves all around they will be pounding the ground in
Two by two I got the animals surrounding, abscondin'
Up to the top of the yacht and then around in and down in
I'm taken by surprise when the lord shuts me
In cause tears fill my eyes as the rain begins
CHORUS
The flood gates opened like the heavens had a leak
And the waters come a gushing from the fountains of the deep
And I'm rising on the tide til' the mountains at me feet
Seasick, believe it, I'm bumping into beasts
Yeah I'm bumping to the beat to the beat of the sea
To the beat of the shrieks and the pleas and the screams
And the gasping and scratching from the people underneath
And I know that they are murderers I know that they are thieves
But their cries are so bad it makes a madman out of me
My plight is so sad but the lord won't set me free
For 40 days and 40 nights the rain is slashing and smashing
With no light there are no days - I imagine them pa**ing
Curled in the corner – family's asking where dad's been
I'm hiding deep inside I just be crashing, whip-lashing
And I don't care if I survive - my pa**ion for lasting
Is about to leave when I perceive, the rain is pa**ing
CHORUS
