lyrics

Jonah he sailed
hoping God wouldn’t find his sin
Out on a ship built by man
Well he sailed and sailed
but his past it followed him
Out on a ship built by man

The rain it fell
and with it came the wind
It pushed around a ship built by man
Jonah he cried
to the wild and the raging sea
But that ship could not get free

That thirsty whale
swam the seas and back again
That thirsty whale
he kept both his eyes open

For Jonah he sailed
from the tides and trails of man
On a ship built by his own hand

Till at last it was time
and the whale swallowed Jonah whole
Well that ship went down below
Yeah that ship went down below
