awake to distant screaming water splashing rising past the sheets survival instincts kick in rushing all the families to the roof the signs say help cause its too far to swim for most of them they will have to wait to be rescued saved as many as they could and all of their fond memories were washed away in the storm now they've gotta find a new place gotta find a new place to call home ships are launched and taking course for their new home beyond the moon first few months flew by hope still alive that they would find somewhere to land but food and fuel run low there's still nothing to show for all their efforts doing everything they can to keep the children warm and from suffering its too far to swim they will have to wait to be rescued saved as many as they could what if they don't find a home lights shine on what they lost how they fucked it up saudade

stay as young as you can keep your thoughts from growing old we're sitting in the middle of the living room I'm slaying dragons flying space ships with you endless adventures await our playful minds there's always time to keep your soul from getting old stay young now we're playing in the middle of a box of sand you've got a new game won't you show me how it's played and when the sun begins to end it's day we'll rush for one more round so keep your thoughts from growing old stay young stay as young as you can even as an older man so you're universe can engage and converse to build a sanctuary with no shame for our wonder and no shame for our minds make it a paradise

another day another opportunity to do the things needed to live happily some may come along and try to break your concentration stand tall always believe you've got every right to be part of the equation you know that water won't put out this flame no it remains it's still burning burning bright no secret recipe or magic wand could bring us down from the high we're on some build their walls as tall as they can hall the bricks to make them not learning from the past is what's causing them to repeat it can't stop us from living you know that water won't put out this flame no it remains it's still burning burning bright this moment's ours for such a limited time don't fear the flight and enjoy the ride live out the days and have spectacular nights lets grab a star as we touch the sky as we touch the sky you know that water won't put out this flame you know it's burning brighter don't let anyone keep you from burning bright
