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
Tell ‘em that the cranes are back

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!
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
