South

Let's fly south, dear, for the winter

Life will be warmer there

Here you can't speak above a whisper

But we must not despair

Things are complicated, I know

But let's just lift our heads and go

Leave behind this worn out wind

For breezier, balmy air

I won't wait till all my days are gone

Cause I've known what I wanted all along

Birds will fly and we'll just follow them

Leave behind this broken world of men

You say we don't have wings, well you're wrong

For I have seen your feathered arms

No, you can't fool me though you're tricky

Don't think that I won't believe that we can kiss the tops of the trees

They're getting taller every day, stretching to the sky

Now the floods are coming in

And the water's getting higher and higher

Higher and higher

Open the skylight cause it's time

And though we've never touched, your hand tickles mine

And I'm so tired of trying

In these last moments where minutes exist

We're running out of time

From now on we'll no longer reminisce

We'll just live and die

To the mountains! To the high ground!

We were chosen to survive!
