    Text

    Migratory V


    We sail above the weather
    We search the ocean floor

    We rival our creation
    Still yearning for more

    But can we fly together
    A migratory V?
    How wonderful if that's what God could see

    A single voice in whispered prayer
    Can only pray to travel there

    But all as one
    We sound the everlasting sound
    And sing our salvation

    Aloft and in formation
    A migratory V
    How wonderful if that's what God could see
