(J.Raposo)

[Recorded June 4, 1973, Hollywood]



The world's a tiny blue-green ark

Afloat in darkest space.

And every creature lives his time

And knows his special place

And each of us is Noah

With a life all in our care

To keep against the darkness

That's flooding everywhere



We've got to walk with the lion,

Soar with the eagle,

Sing with the nightingale

And live in love and peace.



The times have made us fearful

And our fears have brought the tears

The loneliness and darkness

Have grown bitter with the years

But a light is just beyond us

and the children almost see

A world that we've forgotten

And the world they want to be



When we walk with the lion,

Soar with the eagle,

Sing with the nightingale

And live in love and peace.



The ark is getting crowded now

And each of us must know

When everything is finished here

There's no where else to go.

The beasts are here to bless us

And the faith is in their eyes

That we can find the garden

And see that sweet dawn rise



And we can walk with the lion,

Soar with the eagle,

Sing with the nightingale

and live in love and peace.



We've got to walk with the lion,

Soar with the eagle,

Sing with the nightingale

And live in love and peace.
