Once there was a man
A good and honest man
He came home one day to his loving family
He said youâll never believe
We have got to leave
Daddy wants to make a toast
Weâre heading out for the west coast
Driving US 1
Counting the stars and sun
Turns to his wife and says
âHow could I of believed em
I got the call today
Thereâs no job waiting for meâ
He was fooled by the man and the thought of wind rushing through the palm trees
Now I see holes in Noahâs Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
But I see you and itâs enough
Iâm a skeptic but I see love
I see love, yeah
Once there was a woman
A young and trusting woman
She believed in the institution
The marriage of revolution
She was an old school girl
From the old school world
But the man that she chose
Had other ideas I suppose
Could have been an easy street
Could have been a dream complete
Instead it was a mournful day
Had to turn her love away
And give it to her boy and girl
Pieces of her broken world
All the things that he took
She got back from her kids with one look
Now I see holes in Noahâs Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
I see you and itâs enough
Yeah, Iâm a skeptic but I see love
I see love, yeah
When it all goes wrong
When Iâm down and out
When the bad things happen
And I just canât count
When the hammer falls
And the clock strikes two
When Iâm the only one
I think of you
Iâm a young believer
With a cranked receiver
I live without a home
Me and my busted phone
I got no guarantees
I got no proof to see
This life is a game that I play
I could win, I could lose, I could fade away
Now I see holes in Noahâs Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
I see you and itâs enough
Yeah, Iâm a skeptic but I see love
I see love
Yeah, I see love
Yeah, I see love
And itâs enough
Itâs enough
Itâs enough
Itâs enough
