Ark

[Intro]
The day the Earth stopped…
The day the Earth stopped…

[Hook]
Those in shadow—saw the stars
Those in light—felt the fire
We stood between, caught in the turning
Of a world, of a world, of a world…

[Verse 1]
And the ones in light,
Had time to see
The full glory of the sun—
Burning, burning, burning…

[Refrain]
Oh-ohhh, we are leaving (we are leaving)
Oh-ohhh, forever yearning (forever yearning)
Oh-ohhh, into the dark (into the dark)
We sail the ark…

[Verse 2]
We, leaving Earth behind,
Chasing echoes through the sky,
A more hospitable place we find,
But in our hearts, the old world cries…

[Bridge]
We carry the fire, we carry the past
The ocean of stars—so deep, so vast
But home is a shadow, a dream fading fast

[Break]
Oh, we still look back…
Oh, we still look back…

[Big Finish]
Oh-ohhh, we are leaving (we are leaving)
Oh-ohhh, forever yearning (forever yearning)
Oh-ohhh, into the dark (into the dark)
We sail the ark…
We sail the ark…

[Outro]
The day the Earth stopped…
The day the Earth stopped…
