LYRICS:
They call to join the cause, to not stand down
Then force us to step back.
Send us away to where the spirits drown.
To hide from the attack.
Whilst up above the ones we l ove risk their lives
And we can help them! We’ve at least got to try.
Let’s build a runway and runaway
Let’s find a home in the sky
Let’s build a runway and runway
When we fly
Let’s build a runway and runaway
Let’s find a home in the sky
Let’s build a runway and runway
When we fly
A simple breeze can become a storm
A cry becomes a roar.
A single killer-bee becomes a swarm
A shot can start a war.
We’ll take our shot. No more hiding away.
Prepare for takeoff, Will, today is our day.
Lets build a runway and runaway
We’ll find a home in the sky
Let’s build a runway and runway
When we fly
Let’s build a runway and runaway
We’ll find a home in the sky
Let’s build a runway and runway
We can fly.
The sky is filled with poison gas and rival bullets
D’you really think we’ve got the guts to get us through it?
You've seen my Dad
You've seen what the skies have done to him.
It's for my Dad.
We will build a plane and come to him.
It might be mad.
It might be dangerous, Evelyn.
And can I add, the chances could be very slim of
Finding him.
We'll find him up in the sky.
And that's why we must try.
We are stronger
We are younger
We are bolder
We will rally beside the men
Who need our help, and then
Prove that we can fight.
We will take the wrongs and make them right.
You and me.
You and me.
Lets build a runway and runaway
We’ll find a home in the sky
Let’s build a runway and runway
When we fly
Let’s build a runway and runaway
We’ll find a home in the sky
Let’s build a runway and runway
We can fly.
