Sing-along video with choir vocal.
ALL: Get inside,
The storm is coming and you to need hide,
Here the thunder coming in the sky,
Tumbling rumbling,
Then the lightning strikes.
ALL: Hear the rain,
All you can do is run away,
The wild is an unforgiving place,
Pouring, thawing,
It all gets washed away.
ALL: Run away.
MOLE: This doesn’t look good.
BOY: What should we do?
ALL: Hurry up!
We have to hide away before the flood,
Burrow down below or up above,
Scatter and gather,
All the ones you love.
ALL: Go home!
Or readily be buried in the snow,
And shiver when the river overflows,
Swaying and shaking,
As the wind blows,
Go home!
