No One Wants To Stay
Our family tale, like paper trail, disappear from sky
And sure enough, it tailed right off, the same as you and I
That jet will lift you into air and wave goodbye to earth
Just like our dreams and other schemes and anything of worth
Marco Polo sailed East, De Gama sailed West
Many sail with fingers crossed and hope for very best
Now the roar of jumbo jet fills every given day
Cause everybody wants to leave and no one wants to stay
Cast your eyes into the skies, watch those planes depart
Load your envy into hold, along with heavy heart
Those brothers Wright chose wing and flight, and headed into cloud
And that's what we will always do, whenever we're allowed
Marco Polo sailed East, De Gama sailed West
Many sail with fingers crossed and hope for very best

Now the roar of jumbo jet fills every given day
Cause everybody wants to leave and no one wants to stay
Look your family in the eye, boy, and offer them the firm
None of them would rather be sat here instead of sitting there
You wouldn't see their horses for the speed they left your side
When Herbert Lange? was born, boy, this family died
Flying off into the sun, that runway feels so good
Following a wing and prayer ambition only could
A family tale, ship that sails for sea or air or land
And only makes its way back home in paddleboat by hand
Look your family in the eye, boy
And offer them the firm
