Lyrics
Owner of the Only Ark
Parody of “Owner of the Lonely Heart” performed by Yes and written by Trevor Rabin, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire & Trevor Horn
(Genesis 6:9-7:16, Hebrews 11:7; 2 Peter 2:5, 9, Psalm 29:10-11)
Group yourselves
You call your kids and wife
Tell them they can touch the future
Use their help
You've got a boat to make
Take no chances — weatherproof her
See your pals
You wanna set them straight
Doom and gloom, they laugh it all away
They — praise themselves
For every rule they break
So the storm will grow
Owner of the only ark
Owner of the only ark (Too much Weather Channel)
Owner of a boat that's parked
Owner of the only ark
You say you don't love their chances
Human hearts won't reform
"Watch it, pal!"
The egotists reply
"Now's the days of wine and roses"
You — excuse yourself
"Don't go," your critics say
"There's no real reason to be holy
We espouse
This more freewheeling stance
Your God is much too extreme"
Owner of the only ark
Owner of the only ark (Too much Weather Channel)
Owner of a boat that's parked
Owner of the only ark
(Owner of the only ark)
After a long intermission, let's resume the show
(Owner of the only ark)
The Lord sent every creature; they're in the stalls
In the end, you've got a boat, lookin' for a lake
(Owner of the only ark)
And, no, it hasn't rained at all — no, no!
Yow!
Whoa!
Owner of the only ark
Owner of the only ark (Too much Weather Channel)
Owner of a boat that's parked
Owner of the only ark
Owner of the only ark
Owner of the only ark (Too much Weather Channel)
Owner of a boat that's parked
Owner of the only ark
Owner of the only ark
Sooner or later, each of you will
Dwell inside the only ark
(Owner of the only ark)
You will decide it's well designed
It will keep you set apart
(Owner of the only ark)
Don't you see the rain will fast fall?
Don't be grieved; it's the world's last call
(Owner of the only ark)
Don't be squeamish — you will stand tall
Just believe it
Yes, believe it!
(Owner of the only ark)
2 Peter 2:5, 9
if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others ... if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
