The Unicorn Song


One of my favorite songs growing up was The Unicorn Song. A lot of Irish songs carry a story line, especially this one. The song starts off talking about God, Noah, and the great flood. The song follows the Scripture telling how Noah builds an Ark for two of every animal to live on so they are saved from the flood. But, when the rain starts to fall the Unicorns, who are very playful, don't get on the boat because they would rather play in the rain. This explains why we don't have Unicorns today. I think it is an entertaining way to educate children on the Story of Noah's Ark. This song is an Irish music classic and I believe will be around forever and I would ecourage others to listen to it.
