Words by Christopher Cross and Will Jennings

Music by Christopher Cross



It's a lonely ride on Noah's ark

Takin' a shot into the dark

Hopin' that someone will see the spark

Of the light in you



Noah's ark to the ship of fools

Didn't we break all the golden rules

Caught in the dance of the hours



Open your heart 'til everyone's in

It's never too late to believe and begin

Open your heart 'til everyone's in

You can wish on the light of a star 'til the end



Everyone's out on the open sea

We're all a part of the mystery

You know how lonely it can be

Surviving



You say you're gonna settle down

Just play guitar and walk around

Until you turn into the sound

Of laughter



Some do believe we came out of the sky

And at the end we will fly
