Be Like Noah Songtext
von Jim Witter

When I was just a little one
Daddy read a story ′bout a man
Who built his own boat
And on the hot desert sand it stood
Built on hope out of wood
Folks laughed and said it wouldn't float
They said the nearest sea′s a thousand miles away
That ship will never sail
But he never lost his faith
And Daddy closed the book he read
Tucked me in and kissed my head
Said, "Let this lesson light your way"


You gotta do what you gotta do
You gotta be who you are
Don't let the world hold you down
When you're reaching for your star
Remember some will follow others
While others follow their hearts
Be like Noah, build your own ark

I guess I′ll always remember
Standing in the cold September rain
Packing up my car
And Daddy′s tears fell on my shoulder
Said, "I can't believe you′re old enough
But I guess you are
Now set your course on what you know is right
Believe in yourself, don't be afraid to try
′Cause even eagles fall from Heaven
On the day they stop believing
That they can fly"

You gotta do what you gotta do
You gotta be who you are
Don't let the world hold you down
When you′re reaching for your star
Remember some will follow others
While others follow their hearts
Be like Noah, build your own ark


Be like Noah, build your own ark
