I Should Have Listened

Words and music by Gary Noland (2004)

I’m pounding hard at the gate of the Ark/ Something’s changed and the sky’s grown dark /I’m screaming loud and I’m beggin’ them/ Open the door and let me in/ I should have listened to when Noah preached/ I should have stayed put when the Lord had reached/ But I was busy making a breach/ And now I think I’m going to die// All this times been wasted/ When I could have been saved/ All that time wasted/ As the Lord prepares my grave/ I can’t find a way to get on that boat/ I hope to God my body can float/ I should have been busy taking some notes/ And now I think I’m going to die/ The waters rising got to find a higher spot/ I’m realizing a genius I’m not/ I’m in deep trouble unless I learn how to fly/ And now I think I’m going to die // Standing tall on the highest peak/ Looking down as the waters creep/ To the great ship and all the souls it will save/ As the Lord prepares my grave/ And I think I’m going to die// All this times been wasted/ When I could have been saved/ All that time wasted/ As the Lord prepares my grave/
