Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines I can feel the fear hang heavy on the water Glinting sharply with the pale moonlight Mothers hold on tightly to your children The waves are breaking violently tonight Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West Can we go, as they go, across the borderlines? I hear yelling, I hear crying, I hear praying As the ocean threatens us on all four sides The water rises deeper every minute This vessel cannot bear the burden of our load Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West Can we go, as they go, across the borderlines? One by one the children have grown silent From their mother’s arms, they float away The roaring sea will wash our quiet bodies Upon the foreign shore, but our souls will find a way And with seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines Seabirds fly the salty wind East to South, North to West See us go, as they go, across the borderlines
