You know whats right
You’ve known for a while
Oh I’ve got dreams to tell
Dreams of you and no one else

They were wrong to think this could make you satisfied
For me it’s just a silhouette of what could be greater still
One by one we’ve come to grow old together
And I still have such life to fulfill
But it is so lonely, without you by my side

I’m building an ark tonight
I hope we are ready
We’re nowhere near this last breath
Time to rocksteady
I’m building an ark tonight
Will we be ready?

I’m aware that this life line one day lets you down

I’m building an ark tonight
Will we be ready?
Gotta get through this night
I hope we are ready

I’m aware that at the right time one day you’ll be back

We’re building an ark tonight
Gotta be ready
