FLY AWAY

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.

We roam the earth for adventure To meet new folks and new ways We do our work in the outside world Facing dangers and troubled days
