Remember Noah wrought his ship
A long long time ago
It's blessed that he ever did
No one believed his warnings,
Laughing, shrugging shoulders
Asking: "Is there any need of it?"

They found out they were wrong and he was right
As the waters rose the cresting tide sealed their fate

It's such an old but true cliche
To say our days our numbered
Life for us is really through
There's only one way out and
That's to build a spaceship
God knows where it's gonna lead us to

I'll be your captain leader hero saint guide and king
The one who had this brilliant idea
I'll be happy to accept all medals
For having saved all millons following me

We'll sail the second Ark, tickets are cheap
You can alway choose a window seat if you wish
Let other people snicker, silly fools
When they come to grip with nature's rules
We'll be gone

Are you still asking me if I would take the risk
You must have lost your mind
It may be the chance for a lifetime...

We'll sail the second Ark, tickets are cheap
You can alway choose a window seat if you wish
Let other people snicker, silly fools
When they come to grip with nature's rules
We'll be gone

Are you still asking me if I would take the risk
You must have lost your mind
It may be the chance for a lifeline..
