Fly for months
Fly for miles
Miles unfold
Miles of danger
Danger to life
Danger to survive
Survive to live
Survive to love
Love the one waiting
Love n' dance for joy
Joy of meeting
Joy of seeing
Seeing their mate
Seeing their young fly
Fly side by side
Fly for life
Life spent wandering
Life so wondrous
Wondrous when in sight
Wondrous when in flight
Flight to wander
Flight to leave
Leave land behind
Leave land so cold
Cold human hearts
Cold too cold to thaw
Thaw this icy land
Thaw hearts of all
All for love
All for life
Life like the albatross
Life free of strife
Strife to feed saplings
Strife to bury children
Children angelic
Children of heaven
Heaven they wander to
Heaven under their wings
Wings carry them away
Wings under which they'll stay
Stay far from struggle
Stay far from wars
Wars that teach to hate
Wars that teach to kill
Kill the need to stay
Kill the wandering
Wandering albatross so pure
Wandering so innocently
Innocently
Pure
