In Play

From the album “In Play“

In Play

[Intro]
Ready or not
(Here we go)
Take your best shot
(Start the show)

[Verse 1]
Some things change
(On any day)
Some things drift
(Away)

But as long as we’re breathing
(And finding our way)
There’s still a reason
(To get up and play)

[Pre-Chorus]
The future isn’t finished
(Not today)
The final move
(Is still in play)

[Chorus]
Hey! It’s OK
(Frolic is still in play)
Let’s hear you say:
(Music is still in play)

Hey! It’s OK
(Joy is still in play)
Come on and say:
(Life is still in play)

[Refrain]
Still in play
(Still in play)
The game’s not over
(Still in play)

Still in play
(Still in play)
We’re not done today

[Verse 2]
The headlines shout
(And scream)
The world can test
(Our dreams)

But a new sunrise
(Brings another chance)
To sing another song
(And start another dance)

[Pre-Chorus]
The board is set
(The pieces move)
The next chapter
(Is up to you)

[Chorus]
Hey! It’s OK
(Frolic is still in play)
Let’s hear you say:
(Music is still in play)

Hey! It’s OK
(Joy is still in play)
Come on and say:
(Life is still in play)

[Bridge]
Play the piano
(Play the guitar)

Play your hand
(Wherever you are)

Play with hope
(Play with heart)

An ending
(Is another start)

[Final Chorus]
Hey! It’s OK
(Frolic is still in play)
Let’s hear you say:
(Music is still in play)

Hey! It’s OK
(The future’s still in play)
Come on and say:
(Tomorrow’s still in play)

Hey! It’s OK
(We’re all still in play)
Come on and say:
(Love is still in play)

[Outro]
The curtain’s not falling
(Not today)
The song keeps rolling
(Still in play)

Still in play
(Still in play)

Still in play…

All In

[Intro]
Are you ready?
(I’m ready!)
Are you with me?
(Set yourself free!)

[Verse 1]
You can’t sit forever
(On the sidelines)
Watching life
(Pass you by)

Every moment
(Is a chance)
To take a risk
(And give it a try)

[Pre-Chorus]
No holding back
(No retreat)
Get up on your feet

[Chorus]
All in
(All in play)
Givin’ it all
(Away)

All in
(All in play)

Don’t let it slip away

[Refrain]
I’m all in
(All in play)
Hey! Hey! Hey!

I’m all in
(Let’s hear you say)
All in play!

(Hey! Hey! Hey!)

[Verse 2]
Always trying
(Avoidin’ dying)
That’s the way
(The game is made)

But if you never play
(You’ll never know)
What might happen
(If you stayed)

[Pre-Chorus]
The dice are rolling
(The cards are dealt)

Trust what you’ve felt

[Chorus]
All in
(All in play)
Givin’ it all
(Away)

All in
(All in play)

Won’t let it slip away

[Bridge]
Play the song
(Play it loud)

Stand apart
(From the crowd)

Take your shot
(Take your swing)

You won’t regret
(Giving everything)

[Crowd Chant]
(All in play)
Hey! Hey! Hey!
(All in play)
Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Final Chorus]
All in
(All in play)
Everything you’ve got
(Today)

All in
(All in play)

Don’t throw your chance away

All in
(All in play)

Come on everybody say—

[Final Refrain]
I’m all in
(All in play)
Hey! Hey! Hey!

I’m all in
(Let’s hear you say)
All in play!
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)

I’m all in
(All in play)
Hey! Hey! Hey!

We’re all in
(All in play)
Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Outro]
The game’s still moving
(The pieces sway)
We’re all in play…
(All in play)

Is It Turned On?

[Intro]
One, two, three
(Can you hear me?)
Testing, testing
(One, two, three)

[Verse 1]
I’ve got the wires
(All in place)
Got the signal
(Ready to trace)

Got the speakers
(On the floor)
But I don’t hear
(Anything more)

[Pre-Chorus]
Check the switch
(Check the light)
Something’s wrong
(Not quite right)

[Chorus]
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Start with begin
(And see the dawn)

Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Flip the switch
(And carry on)

[Refrain]
Turn it up
(Turn it on)
Sing the night
(Into the light)

Turn it up
(Turn it on)
Let’s see what’s going on

[Verse 2]
When the answer
(Hides in plain sight)
A simple question
(Can make things right)

You can search
(High and low)
But first check
(What you already know)

[Pre-Chorus]
Before you panic
(Before you run)
Try the basics
(One by one)

[Chorus]
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Start with begin
(And see the dawn)

Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Flip the switch
(And carry on)

[Bridge]
The biggest problems
(Can sometimes be)

The smallest things
(We fail to see)

A loose connection
(A missing link)

Can stop the flow
(Faster than you think)

[Final Chorus]
Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Start with begin
(And see the dawn)

Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Light it up
(And carry on)

Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)
Now we’re moving
(Rolling along)

[Outro]
Hear the music
(Hear the sound)
Everything’s working
(Now that it’s found)

Is it plugged in?
(Is it turned on?)

Yes it is…
(And we’re gone!)

Motion

[Intro]
Ready?
(Set!)
Ready?
(Go!)
We don’t know…
(Whoa)

[Verse 1]
You can sit there
(Thinking all day)
Making plans
(Along the way)

But nothing happens
(Until you move)
You gotta find
(Your groove)

One small step
(Can start a chain)
A little effort
(Can bring big gain)

[Pre-Chorus]
The wheels won’t turn
(Standing still)
You’ve gotta climb
(Up that hill)

[Chorus]
Have you got the notion
(To put it in motion)
Let’s get the ball rolling
(Enough of the scrolling)

Have you got the notion
(To put it in motion)
The future’s waiting
(For your promotion)

[Refrain]
Let’s roll
(Into motion)
The goal
(Locomotion)

Loco!
(Motion!)
Loco!
(Motion!)

[Verse 2]
We have got
(A dream to chase)
We won’t rot
(At this pace)

The hardest part
(Is getting started)
Before momentum
(Is imparted)

One little push
(Can start the ride)
One little wave
(Can turn the tide)

[Pre-Chorus]
A moving train
(Picks up speed)
Action follows
(The deed)

[Chorus]
Have you got the notion
(To put it in motion)
Let’s get the ball rolling
(Enough of the scrolling)

Have you got the notion
(To put it in motion)
The future’s waiting
(For your promotion)

[Bridge]
Motion creates
(More motion)

Like waves upon
(The ocean)

The farther you go
(The easier it seems)

Momentum can carry
(Your hopes and dreams)

[Breakdown]
Keep it moving
(Don’t slow down)

Keep it moving
(All around)

[Final Chorus]
Have you got the notion
(To put it in motion)
Let’s get the ball rolling
(Enough of the scrolling)

Have you got the notion
(To put it in motion)
The future’s waiting
(For your promotion)

[Final Refrain]
Let’s roll
(Into motion)
The goal
(Locomotion)

Loco!
(Motion!)

Let’s roll
(Into motion)

The goal
(Locomotion)

Loco!
(Motion!)

[Outro]
One step
(Leads to another)
One move
(Leads to another)

Motion…
(Motion…)
The motion
(Solution)
Motion…
(Motion…)

Still

[Intro]
After all
(We’re still here)
After all
(Loud and clear)

[Verse 1]
The world keeps turning
(Night and day)
People come
(And drift away)

Seasons change
(The years pass by)
Clouds move across
(The sky)

Yet something remains
(Beyond the noise)
The power to choose
(Among the choices)

[Pre-Chorus]
The story’s not over
(Not yet)
The future’s not written
(I’ll bet)

[Chorus]
Still
(We remain)
Still
(Through the rain)

Still
(Standing tall)
Still
(After it all)

[Refrain]
We’re still
(In play)
Freewill
(Touché)

We’re still
(In play)
Freewill
(Touché)

[Verse 2]
The odds may change
(The path may bend)
The beginning
(Moves toward an end)

But the ending
(Can become)
The place where
(The next starts from)

No certainty
(Can take away)
The choices we make
(Along the way)

[Pre-Chorus]
The board is still set
(The pieces move)
There is still
(Something to prove)

[Chorus]
Still
(We remain)
Still
(Through the rain)

Still
(Standing tall)
Still
(After it all)

[Bridge]
Some call it fate
(Some call it chance)
Some say life
(Is a circumstance)
But somewhere between
(The push and pull)
Lives a choice
(Beautiful)
Below and above
(Find the love)

[Breakdown]
Still breathing
(Still dreaming)

Still hoping
(Still believing)

[Final Chorus]
Still
(We remain)
Still
(Through the rain)

Still
(Standing tall)
Still
(After it all)

Still
(Here today)
Still
(On our way)

[Final Refrain]
We’re still
(In play)
Freewill
(Touché)

We’re still
(In play)
Freewill
(Touché)

We’re still
(In play)
Come what may
(Touché)

[Outro]
After all
(We’re still here)
After all
(The future’s near)

We’re still…
(In play)

The Ball

[Intro]
The ball is rolling
(The ball is rolling)
The wheels are turning
(The wheels are turning)

The future’s open
(Still unfolding)
The game is on
(Come along)

[Verse 1]
A long road starts with a single mile
A dream takes shape when you dare to try
A spark becomes a guiding light
Burning in the dark of the night

We can stand around and wait for fate
Or put our hands upon the gate
Push it open, make a way
Turn tomorrow into today

[Pre-Chorus]
One step
(Leads another)
One chance
(Leads another)

One voice
(Leads another)
And suddenly there’s choice

[Chorus]
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)

Stand tall
(Starting today)
The ball
(Is in play)

[Verse 2]
Nobody knows what the score will be
Nobody sees all possibility
The future isn’t written down
It’s still being built from the ground

A thousand choices come our way
A thousand chances shape the day
The story bends where people choose
That’s how we win, that’s how we lose

[Pre-Chorus]
One dream
(Leads another)
One hope
(Leads another)

One move
(Leads another)
And suddenly there’s love

[Chorus]
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)

Stand tall
(Starting today)
The ball
(Is in play)

[Bridge]
Roll it forward
(Roll it on)
Keep it moving
(From dusk till dawn)

No spectator
(In this game)
Each player
(Signs their name)

Hey!
(Hey!)

The future belongs
(To those who play)

[Final Chorus]
The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)

Stand tall
(Starting today)
The ball
(Is in play)

The ball
(Is in play)
The call
(All the way)

Stand tall
(We’re here to stay)
The ball
(Is in play)

[Outro]
The ball is rolling
(Keep it rolling)
The wheels are turning
(Keep them turning)

The future’s open
(Still unfolding)
The ball
(Is in play)

Whistle-Stop

[Intro]
Hear that lonesome whistle cry
(Rolling through the night)
Hear those steel wheels singing
(Rolling through the night)

[Verse 1]
There’s a little town beyond the bend
A place where old roads meet again
One flashing light, one weathered sign
Waiting on the edge of time

Some folks stay and watch trains pass
Some climb aboard and leave at last
Standing there beside the track
Wondering if they’re coming back

[Pre-Chorus]
The signal’s green
(The signal’s green)
The engine’s hot
(The engine’s hot)

You gotta choose
(Before you lose)

[Chorus]
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Whoa, I don’t know)
Is the train going to slow
(Or go, go, go)

Standing where the crossroads meet
(Watching the future greet)
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Or go, go, go)

[Verse 2]
The station master checks the clock
The freight train rattles down the block
A hundred stories passing through
A hundred dreams to chase or lose

One small wave from the platform side
One last chance to catch the ride
A distant horn cuts through the air
And suddenly you’re going somewhere

[Pre-Chorus]
The signal’s green
(The signal’s green)
The engine’s hot
(The engine’s hot)

You gotta the song
(Before it’s gone)

[Chorus]
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Whoa, I don’t know)
Is the train going to slow
(Or go, go, go)

Standing where the crossroads meet
(Watching history compete)
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Or go, go, go)

[Bridge]
Whistle-stop
(Small town station)
Whistle-stop
(Big destination)

You never know
(What the tracks might show)
One short stop
(Can change what’s not)

Hey!
(Hey!)
Hey!
(Hey!)

[Final Chorus]
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Whoa, I don’t know)
Is the train going to slow
(Or go, go, go)

Life can change before you know
(The curtain on the show)
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Or go, go, go)

Did you hear the whistle blow
(Whoa, I don’t know)
Is the train going to slow
(Or go, go, go)

One small stop along the line
(Can change your life)
Did you hear the whistle blow
(Or go, go, go)

[Outro]
Hear that whistle fade away
(Down the line)
Hear those steel wheels roll
(One more time)

The train keeps moving
(Go, go, go)
The train keeps moving
(Go, go, go)

About the Song
A whistle stop refers to a small, minor railway station or town where a train only stops if signaled (often by a whistle).

Theater

[Intro]
Raise the lights
(Bring it up)
No scripts tonight
(No fake stuff)

[Verse 1]
You walk in smiling
(Take your seat)
Expecting lines
(Polished and neat)

But nothing here
(Is pre-written)
No hidden cues
(No stage permission)

This room is breathing
(On its own)
No painted backdrop
(No cardboard throne)

[Pre-Chorus]
No cue cards
(No direction)
No masks
(No correction)

[Chorus]
No!
(This ain’t no theater)
No!
(Say: This ain’t no play!)
Hey!
(This is life unfolding)
No!
(No rehearsed display)

[Refrain]
Feel
(The real deal)
Be
(The reality)
Comedy…
(Or tragedy?)

No script
(No guarantee)

[Verse 2]
The spotlight flickers
(But it’s not controlled)
No director shouting
(“Cut” or “Hold”)

Mistakes are staying
(Left in place)
No edits hiding
(The human face)

You speak, it echoes
(Through the air)
Not rehearsed lines
(Just what’s there)

[Pre-Chorus]
No rewind
(No replay)
No acting
(No cliché)

[Chorus]
No!
(This ain’t no theater)
No!
(Say: This ain’t no play!)
Hey!
(This is life unfolding)
Hey!
(It’s life beholding)

[Bridge]
No curtain call
(No final bow)
Just here and now
(And, F’n Wow!)

Say:
(Hey!)
Hey!
(Hey!)

[Final Chorus]
No!
(This ain’t no theater)
No!
(Say: This ain’t no play!)
No!
(No roles to play)

Hey!
(We’re still here living)
So…
(Keep on giving!)

Feel
(The real deal)
Be
(The reality)

Comedy…
(Or tragedy?)
No script
(No guarantee)

[Outro]
The lights stay on
(No fade away)
The story moves
(It won’t replay)

No!
(This ain’t no theater)
Just life
(All the way)
… love is rife….

Climate Jerk

[Intro]
What’s the word?
(Climate jerk!)
What’s the math?
(Do the work!)

What’s it mean?
(See the scene)
Look ahead!
(Something speeding up instead!)

[Verse 1]
People talk about a warming trend
A curve that rises without end
But there’s another story in the line
Hidden in the slope through time

Not just moving
(Not just fast)
Not just changing
(From the past)

The change itself
(Is changing too)
That’s the clue
(In front of you)

[Pre-Chorus]
Velocity
(That’s one)
Acceleration
(That’s two)

Then comes something
(Bigger than you knew)

[Chorus]
Climate jerk!
(Third derivative!)
Climate jerk!
(Positive and additive!)

Acceleration’s speeding up
(That’s the point)
Climate jerk!
(It gets attention!)

Climate jerk!
(Starts a conversation!)
Sometimes science needs a name…
(That people won’t ignore… any more)

[Verse 2]
The textbooks write it formally
In mathematical clarity
A third derivative through time
A technical but useful sign

Scientists may write a page
Filled with symbols on a stage
But ordinary folks can see
What the numbers seem to mean

[Pre-Chorus]
The slope gets steep
(It doesn’t rest)
The pace increases
(More than guessed)

The trend itself
(Passes the test)

[Chorus]
Climate jerk!
(Third derivative!)
Climate jerk!
(Positive and additive!)

Acceleration’s speeding up
(That’s the point)
Climate jerk!
(It gets attention!)

Climate jerk!
(Starts a conversation!)
Sometimes science needs a name
(That people won’t ignore… any more)

[Bridge]
Call it technical
(Call it plain)
Call it science
(Just explain)

When acceleration grows with time
The signal’s written in the climb

The math is serious
(The name’s a hook)
Gets folks talking
(Take a look)

Hey!
(Hey!)
Hey!
(Hey!)

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Saxophone Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Climate jerk!
(Third derivative!)
Climate jerk!
(Positive and additive!)

The acceleration’s rising still
(Watch the curve swerve)

Climate jerk!
(It gets attention!)

Climate jerk!
(Starts a conversation!)

[Outro]
What’s the word?
(Climate jerk!)
What’s the math?
(Do the work!)

Read the graph
(Follow the line!)
The future’s written
(One slope at a time!)

No doubt
(To find out)
The denier (crier)

About the Song
The technical term is third-derivative behavior—specifically, when d³I/dt³ > 0, meaning the acceleration itself is increasing. I use the informal term “climate jerk” because it’s more accessible to a general audience and, judging by some of the reactions, it certainly gets people’s attention.

Remain

[Intro]
Stay with it now
(How?)
Stay with it
(Don’t quit)

[Verse 1]
The clock keeps ticking
The seasons change
Know that tomorrow
Will rearrange

With one more step
One more try
One more reason
Not to pass it by

[Pre-Chorus]
The game keeps moving
The ball’s still live
The future belongs
To those who strive

[Chorus]
Remain in play
(Don’t step out of bounds)
Sustain the day
(What you do comes ’round)

Stay in the game
(Keep your feet on the ground)
Carry the flame
(And pass it around)

[Verse 2]
The easy path
Can disappear
The distant goal
May not seem near

The choice to voice
Take a stand
Where you command
And voice your choice

[Pre-Chorus]
The story’s written
By those who stay
Not by the ones
Who walk away

[Chorus]
Remain in play
(Don’t step out of bounds)
Sustain the day
(What you do comes ’round)

Stay in the game
(Keep your feet on the ground)
Carry the flame
(Global bound)

[Bridge]
Hold on
(Hold on)
Move on
(Move on)

The night’s not forever
(The night’s not forever)
Stand tall
(Stand tall)
Give all
(Give all)

We’re in this together
(In this together)

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam]

[Final Chorus]
Remain in play
(Don’t step out of bounds)
Sustain the day
(What you do comes ’round)

Stay in the game
(Keep your feet on the ground)
Carry the flame
(And pass it around)

Remain in play
(We’re still around)
Remain in play
(The future is found)

[Outro]
Stay with it
(Stay with it)
Don’ quit

(Remain…)
In play…
(Sustain)
The day

Strum

[Intro]
Hey!
(One, two, three, four!)
Say…
(Let’s play some more)

[Verse 1]
You don’t need a reason
You don’t need a plan
You don’t need permission
To be help out man

A rhythm’s always waiting
Right beneath your feet
A melody is hiding
In every passing street

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t worry if it’s perfect
Don’t worry if it’s wrong
The world keeps making noises
Turn a few into a song

[Refrain]
Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

Play
(Let the moment bring)
Life
(To everything)

[Verse 2]
The birds don’t read the music
The wind ignores the chart
The river keeps on playing
Straight from its heart

The crowd may know the chorus
Or maybe they’ll just smile
Either way the music
Makes the journey worthwhile

[Pre-Chorus]
The first note is the hardest
The next one comes along
Before you know what happened
Everybody’s singing strong

[Refrain]
Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

Play
(Let the moment bring)
Life
(To everything)

[Bridge]
Hey!
(Hey!)
Whoa!
(Oh!)
Turn it up
(Let it go!)
Clap your hands
(Feel the glow!)
Round and round
(The good times flow!)

[Final Refrain]
Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

Laugh
(And let it ring)
Joy
(Is a good start)
… a pretty good thing
(Bring it from the heart)

Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

[Outro]
Strum…
(Or hum some)
Strum…
(Or hum some)

Everybody now:
Strum!
(Come get some)

Swing

[Intro]
One, two, three!
(Look and see)
Step up to the plate now
(The crowd’s alive)
Nobody knows yet
(How the story survives)

[Verse 1]
Everybody’s talking
From the comfort of the stands
Pointing at the batter
With opinions in their hands

Some are seeing failure
Before the pitch is thrown
Some are calling victory
Before it’s fully known

The crack of possibility
Can change it all at once
The difference between glory
And another month of punts

[Pre-Chorus]
You can freeze forever
Trying not to fall
But if you never take a chance
You’ll never swing at all

[Chorus]
Was it a swing and a miss
(Or a homerun)
Was it merely amiss
(Or getting it done?)

Did it fall short of the wall
(Or clear the fence?)
Can you know it all
(In the present tense?)

[Verse 2]
The scoreboard keeps on changing
With every passing day
What looked like a disaster
Can sometimes find its way

The heroes and the villains
Keep switching uniforms
A sunny day can disappear
Inside a thousand storms

You learn a little patience
Watching innings roll
The game is never over
Till the umpire calls it whole

[Pre-Chorus]
The future writes its answers
One moment at a time
The longest road to nowhere
Starts with fearing every climb

[Chorus]
Was it a swing and a miss
(Or a homerun)
Was it merely amiss
(Or getting it done?)

Did it fall short of the wall
(Or clear the fence?)
Can you know it all
(In the present tense?)

[Bridge]
Take your shot
(Take your shot)
Give it all you’ve got
(All you’ve got)
The crowd may cheer
(The crowd may boo)
But they aren’t swinging
(Only you)

Take your shot
(Take your shot)
The moment’s hot
(The moment’s hot)
You can’t hit tomorrow’s pitch
(Today will have to do)

[Final Chorus]
Was it a swing and a miss
(Or a homerun)
Was it merely amiss
(Or getting it done?)

Will history insist
(It was obvious then?)
Or rewrite the list
(Again and again?)

Was it a swing and a miss
(Or a homerun)
Nobody knows for sure
(Until it’s done)

[Outro]
Step up
(Step up)
Take your swing
(Take your swing)

Win or lose
(The crowd will sing)
The game’s still on
(The game’s still on)

The game’s still on…

Your Turn

[Intro]
Alright!
(Hit the lights)
Here we go!
(Start the show)

[Verse 1]
You opened a door
And lit up the night
Somebody took a chance
But was the timing quite right?

[Refrain]
It’s your turn
(To begin)
It’s your turn
(Again)

Take the wheel
(Jump right in)
It’s your turn
(Again)

[Verse 2]
The future isn’t waiting
For someone else to choose
Every day you’re living
Is a day you can use

[Pre-Chorus]
The clock keeps moving forward
The lesson will return
The question isn’t whether
It’s whether you will learn

[Refrain]
It’s your turn
(To begin)
It’s your turn
(Again)

Take the wheel
(Jump right in)
It’s your turn
(Again)

[Bridge]
The baton keeps moving
(Hand to hand)
The song keeps playing
(Band to band)

The dream keeps growing
(Year by year)
The moment’s calling
(You’re here)

[Final Refrain]
It’s your turn
(To begin)
It’s your turn
(Again)

Take the wheel
(Jump right in)
It’s your turn
(Again)

Make your mark
(And then)
Pass it on
(To a friend)

It’s your turn
(To begin)
It’s your turn
(Again)

[Outro]
Your turn…
(Your turn…)
Your turn…
(To begin…)

Keep It

[Intro]
Ready?
(Steady)
Sooo…
(Let’s go!)

[Verse 1]
You don’t need forever
You don’t need to know
Exactly where you’re headed
Before you start to go

[Chorus]
Keep it
(In play)
Quick hit
(To stay)

Lean in
(No delay)
Keep it
(In play)
… in play

[Verse 2]
The ball keeps bouncing
The music rolls along
A stumble isn’t failure
It’s part of the song

[Chorus]
Keep it
(In play)
Quick hit
(To stay)

Lean in
(No delay)
Keep it
(In play)
… in play

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Guitar Riff]
Pass it
(Catch it)
Keep the rhythm going
(Keep the music flowing)

Say:
(Hey!)
Hey!
(way)

Everybody now!

[Final Chorus]
Keep it
(In play)
Quick hit
(To stay)

Lean in
(No delay)
Keep it
(In play)

Hold on
(And stay)
Move it
(Your way)

Live it
(Today)
Keep it
(In play)
… in play

[Outro]
Keep it
(In play)
Keep it
(In play)
Don’t quit
Keep it…
(Don’t quit)
Keep it…
In play…

Tag. You’re It.

[Intro]
Ready or not!
(Have you forgot?)
Here I come!
(Better run)

[Verse 1]
Running through the backyard
Running through the park
Chasing after daylight
Before it gets dark

[Refrain]
Tag!
(You’re it!)
Come play away today

Tag!
(See me run!)
The fun…
… in gettin’ away

[Verse 2]
Dodging through the corners
Flying down the lane
Turning every sidewalk
Into a runaway train

One hand on your shoulder
Changes everything
Now you’re doing the chasing
And everybody sings

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody stays “it”
For very long
The game keeps moving
Right along

[Refrain]
Tag!
(You’re it!)
Come play away today

Tag!
(See me run!)
The fun…
… in gettin’ away

[Bridge]
Catch me if you can
(Catch me if you can)
I’m already gone
(Already gone)

Round the tree
(Around the bend)
The chase goes on
(And on and on)

Hey!
(Hey!)
Hey!
(Hey!)

Run!

[Final Refrain]
Tag!
(You’re it!)
Come play away today
Tag!
(See me run!)

The fun…
… in gettin’ away

Tag!
(You’re it!)
Now it’s your turn to play
Tag!
(The game’s begun!)
The fun…
… is playin’ anyway
(All is won)

[Outro]
Tag!
(You’re it!)
Tag!
(You’re it!)

Come and play away today…
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Foul

[Intro]
Hey!
(Which way?)
Watch it fly!
(Flying by)

[Verse 1]
Off the bat and into the air
(No one knows)
Rising fast from nowhere
(No one knows)

A little wind can change the course
(Change the course)
A tiny push can change the force
(Change the force)

[Chorus]
Out of bounds
(Foul ball)
Or on the line
(… this time…?)

[Refrain]
Which way will it land
(Out of our command)
Which way will it fall
(Is it a foul ball?)

Which way will it land
(Out of our command)
Which way will it fall
(Is it a foul ball?)

[Verse 2]
The crowd erupts and points above
(Points above)
Hear the voice convinced enough
(Convinced enough)

We think we know where things will go
(Things will go)
But certainty is just for show
(Just for show)

[Chorus]
Out of bounds
(Foul ball)
Or on the line
(… this time…?)

… fair and true
(What will it do?)

[Refrain]
Which way will it land
(Out of our command)
Which way will it fall
(Is it a foul ball?)

Which way will it land
(Out of our command)
Which way will it fall
(Is it a foul ball?)

Come on!
(Come on!)

It’s in play
(Take it away!)

[Final Chorus]
Out of bounds
(Foul ball)
Or on the line
(… this time…?)

[Final Refrain]
Which way will it land
(Out of our command)
Which way will it fall
(Is it a foul ball?)

Which way will it land
(Out of our command)
Which way will it fall
(Is it a foul ball?)

Foul ball!
(Foul ball!)
Fair ball!
(Fair ball!)

[Outro]
Watch it fly
(Watch it fly)
Taking flight
(Into the night)
