Will I borrow the wings of the gull To leave the storm behind Will they carry me out through the lull In torrent tossing winds? When the hurricane's blowing I'll fly away Buildings imploding I'll fly away Can we still fly away? Will I borrow the cheetah's speed To leave the fires behind? Will I run past the flaming weeds Escape the searing heat? When the wildfires start burning I'll run away Smoke churning I'll run away Can we still run away? Fly away,  Run away, Leave behind our troubles Hope to live another day… Broken down by disaster We fly away To recover We run away Can we still fly away.

Lights of the city People to see Caught in the webbing Of where I must be. Longing to leave. Even the forest Rooftop of leaves Trees once familiar  Are strangers to me. Faint memories. Show me your canyons  Your waterfalls, your streams. All painfully remind of the  Home I left behind.. And so I must go Soon as I'm free. Winds of the island  Are calling to me... Over the sea.

 Dancing at the end of the old year Welcoming the new Lift our clattering heels to tread The pathway clear and true O'er the meadow at the horizon Far as we can see Clear a vision to map the steps To be who we would be. Mist and thunder and Troublesome day Fly away, fly away, Bog and rubble and Chancy terrain Fly away away. Not to say that we never will fall From today, from today Sun and showers and dancing and song From today today.
