This track features the call of the nocturnal New Zealand bird, the Kiwi.

All profits from the album go to the non-profit organisation The Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi Inc, the volunteer group helping with conservation on the island where Henika made the majority of her field recordings.

lyrics

Go, go
Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on moving
Gotta run, run, run coz I ain't got no place to hide
The bad guys are comin'
They stronger and faster and got big teeth
There ain't no hope in hell for me

My feet are failin'
I'm out of breath
But I'm not ready to give up yet, no
I gotta make it, I don't know how
I can't stop now, can't stop now, can't stop
GO
Gotta keep on movin'

Go, go
Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on moving
Coz I'm runnin', runnin' runnin' out of luck and time
Don't dare look back
It's do or die
They don't wanna chat, see eye to eye
Oh, how I wish I still knew how to fly

My feet are failin'
I'm out of breath
But I'm not ready to give up yet, no
I gotta make it, I don't know how
I can't stop now, can't stop now, can't stop
GO
Gotta keep on movin'

I can't keep up with this changing world
What's the worth of a flightless bird?
The universe is so beautiful
I love life, it's wonderful

Go, go, go
Gotta keep on, gotta keep on
Gotta run, run, run

I will never ever stop
