Hey Man, Look What I've Done!

So I go into the studio again tommorow.
I should be able to finish up the Phase 1
Demo tracks, and have them mixed down
next week. I've been posting the lyrics
as I go, and I only have 1 lyric left,
and that's the title track. This isn't
the greatest song in the world or
anything, but I really like the lyrics,
and this whole album - all the effort
writing songs, going to open stages
testing out songs in front of people,
handing out demo CD's, networking
and jamming with other musicians,
arranging the Studio recordings,
etc, etc, etc is ultimately my own
personnel "Ark in the basement".

so, enough BS, here goes:

Building an Ark In the Basement,
Glenn Bowen, 2005

He's building an Ark in the basement
waiting for the waters to rise
I used to think he was crazy
but I came to realize
if you build an Ark in your basement
even if the waters don't come
you point to that boat in your basement
and say "Hey man, look what I've done"

And if you build an Ark in your basement
and someday the waters do come
you hop in your boat in the basement
and then, I guess you dont look so dumb

She's building a chapel in the attic
out of Play-Do, tin foil and toothpicks,
she won't talk too much about it
she knows that you'll think that she's sick

But she knows that she's married..to Jesus
and someday her Savior will come
they'll go up there to that chapel
then together, away they will run

I'm playing my harp in the forest
the Music, it doth soothe my breast
I'm playing my harp in the forest
sometimes I just need to rest

You know you can get so judgemental
and I'm not sure if I'll pas your test
so I'm playing my harp in the forest
I'm just out here doing my best

He's building an Ark in the basement
waiting for the waters to rise
I used to think he was crazy
but I came to realize
if you build an Ark in your basement
even if the waters don't come
you point to that boat in your basement
and say "Hey man, look what I've done!"
