We don’t know what sensitivities lie hidden in our genes.
Sometimes we’ll get a feeling and we don’t know what it means.
Our attention may be scattered, but a changing in the weather:
A winter storm; a hurricane - can bring us all together,
And help us see a potential, or deal with a disruption
Like the way the snakes and monkeys act before a big eruption.
Two weeks before the lava starts seeping through the crest,
The monkeys get excited and birds will leave their nests.
The reptiles all come crawling across the muddy fields.
When they crush out all the air, they disrupt the farmer’s yields.
How do the animals understand what a scientist doesn’t know?
Of course, they can’t explain it. They just feel when it’s time to go!
And the old chief in his highland village said the gods had been disturbed.
The people in the cities never took him at his word.
They said it wasn’t feasible for the tribe to emigrate,
But they all came down the mountain because they knew they couldn’t wait.
