Afterthought
Parody of "Africa" performed by Toto and written by David Paich & Jeff Porcaro
(Genesis 7:17-8:5)

I'm here to call SOS, You might
Say we are only prisoners of some prior condensation
Rained 40 days and 40 nights
I do not disrespect the ark provided for salvation
I'm just an old man who's tryin' to pray
Hoping to find some home upon the Earth to raise this family
Return the green grass here to stay
Hurry, Lord, we're waiting here for You

It's gonna take a lot to drain these old waves from You
There's nothin' that the humble men on board could ever do
I guess the rain's now an afterthought
It's gonna take some time to do that — think we'd better ask
(Woo hoo)

But now, God, I have kids and wife
And they grow restless longing for some solid terra underneath
I know to side with You was right
Sure as trillions of gallons rising high have left us alone and staring at sea
I seek You, Lord — what's deep is wide
I can't help but think of life to come

It's gonna take a lot to drain these old waves from You
There's nothin' that the humble men on board could ever do
I guess the rain's now an afterthought
It's gonna take some time to do that — think we'd better ask
(Woo hoo)

Hurry, Lord, we're waiting here for You

It's gonna take a lot to drain these old waves from You
There's nothin' that the humble men on board could ever do
I guess the rain's now an afterthought
I guess the rain's now an afterthought — I guess the rain
I guess the rain's now an afterthought — I guess the rain
I guess the rain's now an afterthought
I guess the rain's now an afterthought — It's gonna take the time
It's gonna take some time to do that — think we'd better ask
(Woo hoo)

Genesis 7:24-8:1a
The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days. But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark ...
