I ́m Glad I ́m on the Inside (Looking Out)

歌詞

In the days of Noah just before the flood When the wicked world had all forgotten God Brother Noah built a boat Which above God's wrath did float And the people saw that they were made of mud As the door stood open with the gangplank out Brother Noah, he entered with a shout When the scoffers stretched their necks Noah stood out on the deck and said I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out Refrain: Oh, I'd rather be on the inside looking out Than to be upon the outside looking in When the rain began to fall, Sinners on the lord did call But the door was shut and night was setting in Then old Noah from the window looking out Gazed to heaven beyond the water spout And he said I thank the Lord that I took Him at His word I'm glad I'm on the inside looking out Break (guitar) Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long ago And he had the grace to tell the devil no Though he prayed three times a day In that good old fashioned way They said he to the lion den must go And the lions made him welcome to their home For they knew that he was nothing but backbone When the king looked in and said "Are you alive or are you dead?" He was stirred as Daniel spoke in gentle tones Refrain: Oh, I'd rather be on the inside looking out Then to be upon the outside looking in While you paced the palace floor I had not to do but snore Jesus put a padlock on each lion's chin That old Daniel from the inside looking out Don't you think he felt good enough to shout Then he said long live the King and he started into sing I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
