When 10,000 starlings fly
They mur-mur-ate
Make a kaleidoscope in the sky
They mur-mur-ate
Dancing without holding hands
More precise than marching bands
Just doing what the dance demands
They murmurate! They murmurate!
Humans on earth, let’s do it too
Let's mur-mur-ate
Let’s join together like starlings do
Let's mur-mur-ate
Can’t we learn to take a page
From those starlings who engage
To make the whole sky their own stage
Let’s murmurate! Let’s murmurate!
We too can move in a big formation
Let's mur-mur-ate
Rising and falling in a great gyration
Let's mur-mur-ate
We don’t need leaders, we don’t need rules
There’s dances you can’t learn in schools
Come on all you dancing fools
Let’s murmurate! Let’s murmurate!
Let's mur-mur-ate!
