Lyrics
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY
Let me tell you a story that was written down long ago
Killed and died for its glory
All tangled up in the web of our lives not a shred of truth still survives
Noah lived in the mists of time not so very far away
Sailed away in one summer time
Beasties came cursing in two by two
And all the relatives of me and you
Time passes on to a burning bush and a little boy sacrifice
Hey wont you Moses oh please part the sea
Take all your people your tablets and walk endlessly
Then the rules were way to hard we are all only mortal men
Walking narrow a fantasy everyone living did stumble and fall
Coming up short on the mark that was set for us all
Well there's more to the story and the ultimate sacrifice
The gift that was given was there on the tree
Yahweh was weeping oh father oh where can you be
Mist of time legends wise men and myrrh
More than one lifetime I know will occur
Let me tell you a story Let me tell you a story
