NOTE: This song was written for the competition at SongFight.org, where each week entrants write a new song using the song title the site gives out. The title for the week I entered was "Ark of Philadelphia", so that is how the song got its name.
Ark of Philadelphia
======================
Over the horizon
there's trouble up ahead
the rumblings of a storm
upon this ground we tread
Do secrets from the past
keep coming back around?
or have the winds of change
come blowing into town?
Here comes the flood
Here comes the rain
gonna set out on this journey
and start my life again
Chorus
=====================
Searching for hope
searching for faith
show me a sign
help me find my place
Searching for love
searching for peace
no answers to find
give me something to believe
=====================
Though I am no prophet
or old religious sage
I build my boat with lessons learned
from battles we all wage
The walls of this city
no longer hold me in
As I close this chapter
a new one will begin
Time to raise the sails
cast my troubles out to sea
put my fate in better hands
and hope it sets me free
After the clouds
after the storm
you shine your light on my face
and make me safe and warm
Chorus
=====================
Searching for hope
searching for faith
show me a sign
help me find my place
Searching for love
searching for peace
no answers to find
give me something to believe
Give me something
something to believe
=====================
