[00:13.70]Um, where are you takin' me?
[00:18.69]So many questions.
[00:22.02]I think it's about time I give you some answers
[00:30.18]What is this?
[00:35.52]You see, Migo
[00:37.07]There was a time when Yetis lived beneath the clouds
[00:40.60]We were alive and we were thriving till we came across a crowd
[00:43.76]Of Smallfoot, that's right, we used to live down there
[00:46.63]But there were actions we could not forgive down there
[00:50.14]And though they used a different nomenclature
[00:53.08]Man, or human, they showed us human nature
[00:56.19]A dangerous species that we approached with wonder
[00:59.32]They attacked with spears and their smokin' sticks of thunder
[01:02.61]They called us Sasquatch, they called us abominable
[01:05.91]They chased us, pursed us, their persistence indomitable
[01:09.22]We had no choice but to run and hide
[01:11.64]Otherwise, we surmised we were facin' genocide
[01:14.89]So we climbed this mountain just to stay alive
[01:17.94]You see we knew that up here Smallfoot cannot survive
[01:21.27]So it was here the first law was written in stone
[01:24.34]It was named and proclaimed as a truth to be known
[01:27.37]Our world is an island, it floats on a sea of endless clouds
[01:32.05]That's how we would be
[01:33.43]And then we wrote more laws, more rules to obey
[01:36.51]For the sake of us all it was the only way
[01:39.55]To protect us from all of the human ravages
[01:42.80]Heaped upon us by those human savages
[01:46.54](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[01:49.58](Now you know, now you know)
[01:51.49]And new rules apply
[01:53.07](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[01:55.49]So it's best just to let it lie
[01:58.81](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[02:02.07](Now you know, now you know)
[02:03.80]And you can't deny
[02:05.58](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[02:07.97]That it's best just to let it lie
[02:11.10]But my Smallfoot, he's not like that
[02:14.79]They're all like that. Tell me, when you found him
[02:18.33]Did he greet you with open arms?
[02:27.23]They don't care about us.
[02:29.00]They don't care about anything but themselves.
[02:32.00]Which is why we must do the same,
[02:33.83]If we care about our future
[03:07.08]Wait, we're below the clouds
[03:08.64]Or so it would seem
[03:10.07]But look closer
[03:11.16]Those aren't clouds, it's steam
[03:13.47]The stones are working
[03:16.73]The stones?
[03:18.05]Every job and every task is pointless as it seems
[03:22.66]All of it ensures that this important machine
[03:25.67]Keeps turning and turning and spinnin' around
[03:28.44]So those below don't look up and those above don't look down
[03:32.00]And they'll look 'cause even if they hear of these atrocities
[03:35.44]The only thing stronger than fear is curiosity
[03:38.64](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[03:41.65](Now you know, now you know)
[03:42.36]Wait so, so none of those stones are true, they're all lies?
[03:44.31]Good lies to protect our world
[03:48.06]But they need to know the truth
[03:49.44]Oh do they?
[03:50.90]You feel emboldened by your noble quest to find the truth
[03:54.32]I chalk it up to the naive innocence of youth
[03:57.42]So let me share a secret that you'll learn as you grow older
[04:00.43]What's true or not true is in the eye of the beholder
[04:03.68]So do you wanna prevent our own annihilation? (Yes!)
[04:06.71]Then our only goal should be to control the flow of information
[04:09.85]Unless you wanna see the Smallfoot conquer and pillage (No!)
[04:13.08]Then protect the lie and you protect the village
[04:16.78]Lives are at stake, Migo.
[04:19.36]Your friends, your father, Meechee.
[04:27.36]She's curious and you know what they say:
[04:30.29]Curiosity killed the yak
[04:33.11]So what do you want me to do?
[04:34.68]Tell everyone you were lying about the smallfoot
[04:37.58]But they've already seen it, they're not gonna believe me
[04:41.20]You'll be surprised at what they'll believe
[04:44.02]You think knowledge is power, Migo?
[04:47.70](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[04:50.48](Now you know, now you know)
[04:52.17]Question is
[04:53.35](Now you know, now you know, now you know)
[04:56.82]What are you gonna do with that power?
[04:59.84](Hmm, hmm)
