  • The cranes are back
    The cranes are back!
    Go tell your momma
    Tell her spread the news
    Tell ‘em that the cranes are back

    There ain’t no chains on my back
    There ain’t no chains on my back
    There’s only joy that freedom brings

    Been a long time making a show
    And all this winter going so slow
    Cause a kind reaction so
    We could feel the love once more

    They’re all flying back
    They’re all flying back
    Come see the sky!
    Hear the people cry
    Get running - say the cranes are back!

    Been a long time making a show
    And all this winter going so slow
    Form a kind revolution so
    From that hope and a new world born

    Pick ourselves up off the floor
    Try to heal the land once more
    Cause a kind reaction so
    There would be some hope in the world

    It's been a long time making a show
    Crops and water plentiful
    Babies washed up on the shore
    War and hatred more and more

    Start a kind revolution so
    We can feel some hope in the world Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
