"Good afternoon, this is your Captain speaking. We appear to have clear skies all the way on our 12-hour flight to Europe. We are about to get ready for take-off, so please buckle your seat belts and turn off all your cell phones.
Here we go."
Wakin' up
7:30 AM
I'm on my flight today.
Oh look, it's beautiful
Outside
The sky is clear
And there are lots of water above me.
Oh no
It's kinda cloudy
What's going on right now?
The captain says we're gonna-
Fly-y
Over the Indian Ocean.
I asked myself
Why are over the Indian Ocean-
Oh no!
The plane just fell apart.
And now I'm
Falling into the Indian Ocean.
And I don't have a parachute.
What's going on?

We are outsiders
Trapped on your islands
And we want to go home.
We will help you
(I would appreciate your help)
We will take you
With us if you will come
(And we will join you)
We will show you the world
Show you all our cities
With our tall sky scrapers
Build to the heavens.
Such a thing I've never heard
(I didn't know you would-)
Where is this place?
Accept our offer
So now you can come
To our world
(We will come)
And be welcome.

The Water

Arm and hand and wood and brawn
And all of us going to build the boat.
We took the mast
From the tree
Of life on the Island.
The natives and us
Took axes to the wood
We carried it to the beach
Binding it with brawn and strength
We're lifting up our fate.
Running quickly through the water
We're going to build this boat
Creatures from far lands away
Have gathered to help us afloat.
Come!
Gather your resources
And work.
Hammer.
Cut.
Pass
Build.
Brew.
We will fly away.
