Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the captain calls for water landing
Metal bird meets ocean's grip
Life vest wrapped around your shoulders
But don't inflate until you slip
Through the exit door completely
Orange slide becomes your friend
Water's cold and getting deeper
But your safety rules defend

[Chorus]
Wait to blow, then swim away
Group together, that's the way
Don't inflate while still inside
Wait to blow, then swim away
From the plane that brought you down
Stay as one, don't drift around

[Verse 2]
Airplane hulk becomes a hazard
Suction pulls and metal cuts
Distance keeps you breathing freely
Clear of twisted steel and struts
Yellow vest will be your beacon
Once you're floating on the waves
But inside that cramped compartment
It's a trap that misbehaves

[Chorus]
Wait to blow, then swim away
Group together, that's the way
Don't inflate while still inside
Wait to blow, then swim away
From the plane that brought you down
Stay as one, don't drift around

[Bridge]
Clustered tight for rescue spotting
Human chain against the cold
Visibility means survival
When the rescue boats take hold
One by one they'll miss you floating
Pack together, bright and bold

[Chorus]
Wait to blow, then swim away
Group together, that's the way
Don't inflate while still inside
Wait to blow, then swim away
From the plane that brought you down
Stay as one, don't drift around

[Outro]
Three simple rules for ocean landing
Exit first, then vest, then flee
Huddle close with fellow passengers
Until rescue sets you free
