This Is….
This Is….
This Is….
[Verse 1]
This is the moment
(Right here and now)
Not yesterday
(Not somehow)
Right this second
(Becoming history)
Writing tomorrow
(As memory)
[Chorus]
This isā¦
(Yes, it is)
This isā¦
(Before turning to was)
This isā¦
(Still alive)
This isā¦
(Our chance to decide)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Yes, it is)
This isā¦
(Before turning to was)
Why?
(Because)
Why now? ⦠have you forgot
(Because nowās all weāve got)
[Verse 2]
This heartbeat
(Counts as one)
And the ending
(Began undone)
Does your choice
(Leave its trace)
Does your step
(Finds its place)
[Bridge]
Soon becomes later
(Now becomes then)
Questions become
(Answers again)
Hold this moment
(While it lasts)
The future arrivesā¦
(Then joins the past)
[Final Chorus]
This isā¦
(Yes, it is)
This isā¦
(Before turning to was)
This isā¦
(The story we write)
One more day
(One more night)
[Final Refrain]
This isā¦
(Yes, it is)
This isā¦
(Before turning to was)
Why?
(Because)
Why wait?
(Because this is⦠now)
Donāt forget how
[Outro]
This isā¦
(Yes, it is)
This isā¦
(Until it becomes⦠was)
Insane
[Intro]
We were in saneā¦
(But now⦠somehow)
Weāve moved into insane
[Verse 1]
Crossed the line
(One step at a time)
Lost the map
(Believing weāre fine)
Bent the truth
(Just a little more)
Till nobody knew
(What truth was for)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Insane!)
Will we remain?
This isā¦
(Insane!)
What we became
This isā¦
(Insane!)
Whoāll take the blame?
[Verse 2]
Normal shifted
(Without a sound)
Higher walls
(Lower ground)
Another warning
(Called a lie)
Another answer
(Asked us why)
[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
(The spiral goes)
How it endsā¦
(Nobody knows)
[Chorus]
We called it progress
(Without restraint)
Painted over
(The cracks with paint)
One more step
(One more excuse)
One more reason
(To light the fuse)
[Instrumental]
[Synth Arpeggio]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
In saneā¦
(We had a choice)
Insaneā¦
(We lost our voice)
In saneā¦
(We knew the way)
Insaneā¦
(We looked away)
[Breakdown]
This isā¦
(Insane!)
This isā¦
(Insane!)
This isā¦
(Insane!)
[Final Refrain]
This isā¦
(Insane!)
Will we remain?
This isā¦
(Insane!)
Or can we change?
This isā¦
(Insane!)
⦠rearrange
Until we chooseā¦
(To be in sane)
⦠weāre gonna lose
[Outro]
(Out of in sane)
In insane
History in the Making
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(History in the making)
It isā¦
(Too late for faking)
[Verse 1]
The next breath
(Becomes a trace)
The next step
(Fixes its place)
The next word
(That leaves your tongue)
Already echoes
(When itās done)
Weāre writing lines
(Without a pen)
That weāll look back on
(Once again)
And wonder how
(It came to be)
This moment now
(Becoming memory)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(History in the making)
It isā¦
(Too late for faking)
This isā¦
(Not just a phase)
It isā¦
(The shape of our days)
[Verse 2]
The quiet shift
(The turning tide)
The things we know
(We cannot hide)
The choices made
(Without return)
The lessons lost
(Before we learn)
Each small event
(A turning page)
A silent script
(On a larger stage)
We act it out
(Then understand)
We were part of
(Something unplanned)
[Chorus]
This is the moment
(That defines the arc)
A spark in motion
(Against the dark)
No rehearsal
(No second try)
Just now unfolding
(Before goodbye)
[Bridge]
And futures form
(In what we do)
Not far away
(But breaking through)
The present tense
(Already gone)
Becomes the story
(We move upon)
[Final Refrain]
This isā¦
(History in the making)
It isā¦
(Too late for faking)
This isā¦
(Already written)
It isā¦
(Already given)
[Outro]
So hold it close
(And let it go)
Thatās how it lives
(And how we know)
This isā¦
(History in the making)
So Hot
[Intro]
Step outside
(Feel it rise)
Look around
(Real surprise)
Air is thick
(Hard to breathe)
Something new
(We all perceive)
[Verse 1]
It used to be
(A mild July)
Now the heat
(Doesnāt ask why)
Days stretch long
(And nights donāt fool)
Breaking rules
(Of what was ānormalā cool)
We measure highs
(Then break again)
Like records falling
(With no end)
[Refrain]
What is this?
(This isā¦)
So hot
(Believe it or not)
Record breaking
(Breath taking)
The system
(Shaking, waking)
[Verse 2]
Concrete stores
(The sun all day)
Gives it back
(Without delay)
Cities shimmer
(In wavering air)
Heat wonāt leave
(It just stays there)
And bodies learn
(Too slow, too fast)
This new normal
(Doesnāt last)
[Chorus]
So hot
(It wonāt stop)
No relief
(From the top)
Every year
(Climbing more)
Like weāve never
(Felt this before)
[Bridge]
We used to think
(It would stay)
Within bounds
(Day by day)
But boundaries shift
(And break apart)
When heat becomes
(A baseline chart)
[Final Refrain]
What is this?
(This isā¦)
So hot
(Believe it or not)
Record breaking
(Breath taking)
Future bending
(Never ending)
[Outro]
Step outside
(Feel it rise)
Look around
(Burning skies)

Here we go
(Ready now)
Take a chance
(Show us how)
Raise your voice
(Loud and clear)
The futureās calling
(Itās right here)
[Verse 1]
One more step
(Down the road)
Share the load
(Lighten the load)
Lift your eyes
(To the sky)
Dream a little
(Aim up high)
What grows
(Standing still?)
Life rewards
(Strength of will)
[Refrain]
Oh, wow

This is getting better
(Somehow)
Go! Go getter

Turn that smile

Heading toward

[Verse 2]
Try again
(One more time)
Turn the page
(Start the climb)
Laugh out loud
(Share the fun)
Another race
(Has begun)
Open doors
(Open minds)
Leave old doubts
(Far behind)

Whatās ahead
(Who can say)
Still thereās joy
(On the way)
Take the moment
(Make it count)
Watch the little victories
(Start to mount)
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Refrain]
Oh, wow

Wake up
(To the light)
Open your eyes
(What a sight)
Take a breath

Lighting paths

Extreme
[Intro]
Off the chart
(Off the scale)
Breaking records
(Without fail)
[Verse 1]
Once in a lifetime
(Thatās what theyād say)
Now it happens
(Day after day)
Higher highs
(Lower lows)
How far it goes
(Nobody knows)
[Refrain]
This is extreme
(Know what I mean)
Well beyond the mean
(Extreme!)
[Verse 2]
Heat that lingers
(Rain that pours)
Floods that follow
(Long dry wars)
One more record
(Falls away)
Yesterdayās rare
(Is here today)
[Bridge]
The bell curve bends
(Into the tail)
Old predictions
(Begin to fail)
What was unlikely
(Starts to repeat)
Historyās average
(Canāt compete)
[Refrain]
This is extreme
(Know what I mean)
Well beyond the mean
(Extreme!)
This is no dream
(Itās on the scene)
Beyond the mean
(Extreme!)
[Breakdown]
Further and further
(From yesterday)
Farther from normal
(Day by day)
[Final Chorus]
This is extreme
(Know what I mean)
Well beyond the mean
(Extreme!)
Watch the trend
(Begin to lean)
Toward the edges
(Of the unseen)
Extreme!
(Extreme!)
Extreme!
(Beyond the mean!)
[Outro]
Past the line
(Past routine)
Welcome to
(The new extreme)
Farabout
[Intro]
How far?
(Farabout)
Where to now?
(Weāll figure it out)
[Refrain]
Whatās farabout
(Weāre about to find out)
⦠all aboutā¦
(Far, far, far)
Out
[Verse 1]
One more mile beyond the bend
One more trail that doesnāt end
Maps can only point the way
Feet decide where weāll stray
Round the corner, over there
Past the places everywhere
Every question starts a route
Leading farther⦠farabout
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on going
(Donāt turn back)
Will the journey
(Leave a track)
[Chorus]
How far can we go?
(Farther still)
What do we know?
(Learn we will)
Whatās farabout
(Weāre about to find out)
⦠all aboutā¦
(Far, far, far)
Out
[Verse 2]
Take the long way if you choose
Sometimes thatās the path you use
Another detour, another turn
Holds one more chance to learn
Beyond the edge, beyond the known
Find a place to call your own
Every winding roundabout
May become a farabout
[Bridge]
Far away
(Close at hand)
Helps us stand
(Understand?)
When the ending
(Begins anew)
The farther outā¦
(The wider view)
[Final Chorus]
How far can we go?
(Farther still)
What do we know?
(Learn we will)
Whatās farabout
(Weāre about to find out)
⦠all aboutā¦
(Far, far, far)
Out
Bliss?
[Intro]
This isā¦
(Blissless)
This isā¦
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Bliss?)
No! Ignorance
(Amiss)
[Verse 1]
We name the shape of drifting air
And swear we saw it standing there
A feeling caught but never held
A truth half-born but never spelled
The mind leans hard on fragile ground
Where certainty is never found
Yet still we build what we believe
From echoes that we canāt retrieve
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it calm or just delay?
A thought that wonāt quite go away?
A silence dressed in borrowed light
That fades before it feels quite right
[Chorus]
So what do we call it when it feels this light?
(When wrong feels wrong but it still feels right?)
A borrowed name for something wide
(We try to hold but slips aside)
Is it bliss or just the spin
(Of everything weāre living in?)
We name it fast so we can move along
(But the meaning feels half gone)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Bliss?)
No! Ignorance
(Amiss)
[Verse 2]
We carve our truth yet donāt understand
With trembling voice and half-formed plan
An answer breaks before itās whole
As certainty dissolves the soul
A language built to hold the frame
But little ever stays the same
We call it order, call it sense
But meaning lives in consequence
[Bridge]
Maybe bliss is just a pause
Between effect and cause
A breath that never knows its name
Before it slips back into flame
[Final Chorus]
So what do we call it when it feels this light?
(When wrong feels wrong but it still feels right?)
A fleeting state we canāt define
(A boundary without a line)
Is it bliss or just the spin
(Of everything weāre living in?)
We name it fast so we can move along
(But the meaning is gone)
[Refrain ā Outro Variation]
This isā¦
(Bliss?)
Noā¦
Amissā¦
This isā¦
(Bliss?)
Noā¦
Amissā¦
Exactly
[Intro]
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)
[Refrain]
Starting the quiz:
(What is this?)
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)
[Verse 1]
Does the answer start a trail
Some prevail and some derail
Another label, another name
Points towardābutās not the same
Questions shape the things we know
Further still weāve yet to go
Piece by piece the picture grows
Only after asking āthose?ā
[Pre-Chorus]
Look again
(Take your time)
Every clue
(Fits the rhyme)
[Chorus]
What do you see?
(Reality)
What could it be?
(Wait and see)
Look a little closer now
(The answerās here somehow)
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)
[Verse 2]
Facts can hide in plainest sight
Waiting for another light
Shift your angle, change your view
Something old becomes brand new
Ahh⦠the puzzle has a key
Hidden in simplicity
When the pieces finally click
The obvious arrives so quick
[Bridge]
One more guess
(Try again)
Miss the mark
(Now and then)
Keep asking why
(Donāt pretend)
Questions lead
(To the end)
[Final Chorus]
Starting the quiz:
(What is this?)
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)
Open your eyes
(What do you see?)
Truth arrives
(Naturally)
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine thatā¦
(Reality)
Magnificent

Take it inā¦
(Just a moment)
Look aroundā¦
(At the moment)
[Refrain]
What I meantā¦
(This is magnificent)
As to how it wentā¦
(Ah, so magnificent)
[Verse 1]
Morning breaks in shades of gold
Stories waiting to be told
Tiny moments, grand and small
Hidden wonder fills them all
Smiles appear on passing faces
Hearts awaken, finding places
Simple things become the thread
That bind the lives weāve always led
[Pre-Chorus]
Open wide
(Your point of view)
Youāll be surprised
(By what shines through)
[Chorus]
Magnificent!
(Clear to see)
Magnificent!
(You and me)
More than words can truly say
Brighter than yesterday
Life unfolds before our eyes
In magnificent surprise
[Verse 2]
Storms may gather, skies may gray
Still the light can find a way
One new ending plants a seed
For another dream to lead
Pause awhile and you may see
What was always meant to be
Hope becomes a quiet friend
Whispering, āThis is magnificent.ā
[Bridge]
Take it slow
(Breathe it in)
Where we end
(Is where we begin)
Speed it up
(Dream by dream)
More than it first seemed
[Final Chorus]
Magnificent!
(Clear to see)
Magnificent!
(You and me)
What I meantā¦
(This is magnificent)
As to how it wentā¦
(Ah, so magnificent)
Sing it outā¦
(Magnificent!)
One more timeā¦

[Outro]
What I meantā¦
(This is magnificentā¦)
Ah⦠magnificentā¦

Dreams once whispered now take flight
Joined together in the light

Lifting spirits, one and all
Faces glowing, eyes alight
Turning strangers into light
One kind word can start the wave
One bold voice can still be brave

This Aināt Rock ānā Roll
[Intro]
This aināt rock ānā roll
(No this aināt no stroll)
Get ready to ride
(⦠this is genocide)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Refrain]
This aināt rock ānā roll
(⦠this is genocide)
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide
(Gonna take its toll)
[Verse 1]
The volume is rising
The warning is clear
A shadow is forming
That nobody hears
The stage lights are fading
The curtain comes down
A world out of balance
Is spinning around
[Pre-Chorus]
No encore waiting
No final show
No easy answer
No place to go
The rhythm is changing
The tempo is fast
A future is calling
From a dangerous past
[Chorus]
This aināt rock ānā roll
This aināt a game
This aināt a story
With someone to blame
The fire keeps burning
The pressure will grow
A force we created
We struggle to slow
This aināt rock ānā roll
(⦠this is genocide)
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
[Verse 2]
The oceans are rising
The ice disappears
The cost of denial
Becomes crystal clear
The signs keep repeating
The patterns align
The edge is approaching
⦠runninā out of time
[Bridge]
No standing still
No turning back
The system responds
To the attack
A chain reaction
A runaway tide
The consequences
We cannot divide
[Final Refrain]
This aināt rock ānā roll
(⦠this is genocide)
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
The sound of the future
The end of the ride
The choices we make
Will determine the tide
This aināt rock ānā roll
(No this aināt no stroll)
Get ready to ride
(⦠this is genocide)
[Outro]
This ainātā¦
(Rock ānā rollā¦)
This isā¦
(āPay the tollā¦ā)
Back, Back
[Intro]
This stepā¦

This moveā¦
(Leaves a track)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
Feedback
(Back, back)
Stand still
This willā¦
(Attack)
Ack, ackā¦
(Back, back)
[Verse 1]
A single action has reaction
A spark can start a chain
A change creates a motion
A cycle comes again
A word that has been spoken
A choice that has been made
A promise left unbroken
Leaves a mark that will remain
[Chorus]
The loop keeps turning round
A wave returns its sound
The force that we create
Finds a path that wonāt escape
A push and then a pull
An empty space gets full
An ending meets a start
Leaving rhythm in the heart
[Verse 2]
A system finds its balance
A balance breaks away
A pattern shows its weakness
A future finds its way
A moment builds another
A cause creates effect
A signal finds its sender
A path returns direct
[Bridge]
This time
(All aware)
This line
(Leads us there)
An echo, a sound
An answer comes back around
[Final Refrain]
This isā¦
Feedback
(Back, back)
Stand still
This willā¦
(Attack)
Ack, ackā¦
(Back, back)
A step awayā¦
(Back, back)
A track returnsā¦
(Comes back)
A force we send away
Finds another route someday
[Outro]
Backā¦
Backā¦
Backā¦

Black and White
[Intro]
What do you see?
(What is clear)
What will it be?
(The answerās here)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Black and white)
Wrong and right
This isā¦
Yes or no
(Now we know)
⦠here we go!
[Verse 1]
Lines are drawn across the page
Truth is tested, age by age
Does the choice become a sign
Does the moment draw a line
Left or right, up or down
Lost or found, smile or frown
Simple answers fill the space
But shades remain behind the face
[Pre-Chorus]
Can we see beyond the frame?
Can we question another name?
When the colors start to blend
Where does certainty begin or end?
[Chorus]
Black and white
(Day and night)
Dark and light
(What is right?)
Black and white
(Separate)
Wrong and right
(We debate)
But the world keeps moving on
Before the final answerās drawn
[Verse 2]
We want a world thatās easy to see
A perfect line of certainty
But every question, every choice
Carries more than one voice
A simple word, a simple claim
Can hide a complicated game
The closer that we look inside
The more the edges start to divide
[Bridge]
Truth is not a wall
Truth answers the call
[Final Refrain]
This isā¦
(Black and white)
Wrong and right
This isā¦
Yes or no
(Now we know)
But between the dark and light
There are colors out of sight
This isā¦
(Black and white)
A place to start
Wrong and right
(Heart to heart)
⦠here we go!
[Outro]
This isā¦
(Black and white)
Wrong and right
This isā¦
Yes or no
(Now we know)
⦠here we go!
Wild
[Intro]
Something changed
(Out of range)
Something broke
(Thatās no joke)
[Refrain]
This is wild
(No longer mild)
All broke loose
(⦠gone obtuse)
[Verse 1]
Used to walk a steady line
Thought we knew the signs of time
The rule we thought we knew
Started bending into two
Quiet moments turned extreme
No longer quite the way it seemed
When the edges disappear
Chaos suddenly appears
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on tight
(Feel the shift)
Day turns night
(Watch it drift)
[Chorus]
This is wild
(No longer mild)
Somethingās changed
(Out of range)
Running faster
(After faster)
Breaking through
(What we knew)
No more waiting
(No debating)
The world has filed
Underneathā¦
(Wild)
[Verse 2]
Watch the signal start to flare
Something different fills the air
Patterns shifting, systems sway
Not much holds the old way
From the ground beneath our feet
To the storms we cannot beat
The boundary we defined
Leaves another one behind
[Bridge]
Not insane
(Just extreme)
Not a dream
(But a theme)
When the calm becomes the storm
(When the strange becomes the norm)
Can we see
(Can we find)
Whatās ahead
(Whatās behind)
[Final Chorus]
This is wild
(No longer mild)
All broke loose
(⦠gone obtuse)
No return
(Watch it burn)
No excuse
(For the truth)
What we called impossible
Has become undeniable
The world has compiled
A brand-new fileā¦
[Outro]
Wildā¦
(Wildā¦)
No longer mild.
Life as We Know It
[Intro]
Where do we go?
(What will we find?)
What do we know?
(Leave it behind)
[Refrain]
(This isā¦)
Life as we know it
(Make a wish)
Dream⦠bestow it
[Verse 1]
Make a moment, every day
Find a different kind of way
Little choices, little signs
Shape the stories between the lines
Yesterday becomes a trace
Tomorrow waits in open space
Take a breath⦠enjoy the view
Create the world we travel through
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the light
(Through the night)
Keep the dream
(Within sight)
[Chorus]
Life as we know it
(Here and now)
Where we go
(We will find out how)
Take the chance
(Let it grow)
Make the wish
(Let it show)
Life as we know it
(As we know it)
[Verse 2]
Time keeps moving, never still
Changing valleys, changing hills
What we lose and what we gain
Become chapters in the same
Through the questions, through the doubt
Find the way to work it out
As the ending starts again
Feeling loss become a friend
[Bridge]
What is real?
(What is true?)
What remains?
(What we do)
Dreams are seeds
(That we plant)
Hope is more
(Than what we canāt)
[Final Chorus]
Life as we know it
(Here and now)
Make a wish
(Show us how)
Dream⦠bestow it
(Let it rise)
Open hearts
(Open eyes)
In the moment, be the story
Out of shadows, into glory
Life as we know it
(Is how we show it)
[Outro]
(This isā¦)
Life as we know itā¦
(Make a wishā¦)
Dream⦠bestow it.
In a Fog
[Intro]
Can you see?
(Not really)
Which way now?
(Donāt ask how)
[Refrain]
Here we are
(Standing in a fog)
Canāt go far
(Could turn to a clog)
Best stand still
(No freewill)
In a haze
(In a daze)
For days and days and days
[Verse 1]
All the landmarks fade away
Night and morning look the same
Dare not step⦠full of doubt
Hard to know the in from out
Voices echo through the gray
Then dissolve and drift away
Whatās ahead and whatās behind
Disappear from sight and mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it slow
(Donāt rush through)
What you know
(May not be true)
[Chorus]
In a fog
(Canāt make out)
Whatās the answer
(Whatās the route)
Standing still
(Waiting here)
Shapes emerge
(Then disappear)
Best stand still
(No freewill)
In a haze
(In a daze)
For days and days and days
[Verse 2]
Is the sunlight just ahead
Maybe not, the old man said
Will the roads reappear
Or will all remain unclear
Sometimes waiting is the way
Till the mist begins to sway
Till the outlines come in view
And the world feels fresh and new
[Bridge]
Canāt see left
(Canāt see right)
Canāt tell dark
(From the light)
Take a breath
(Stand your ground)
In the quiet
(Listen around)
[Final Chorus]
Here we are
(Standing in a fog)
Canāt go far
(Could turn to a clog)
Best stand still
(No freewill)
In a haze
(In a daze)
For days and days and days
Then one beam
(Cuts the gray)
And the fog
(Drifts away)
[Outro]
In a hazeā¦
(In a dazeā¦)
For days⦠and days⦠and daysā¦
(Now finding ways)
Whoa Woe Oh Ya
[Intro]
Whoa!
(Wait a minute)
Woe!
(Leave it in it)
Somethingās changing
(Feel the flow)
Somethingās moving
(Here we go)
[Refrain]
Whoa! Woe.
(Oh yeah)
Know no
(No more woe)
⦠here we go!
(Oh yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Started with a little spark
A tiny light inside the dark
Thought the road was running slow
Then the rhythm started to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up
(Feel the sound)
Turn it loose
(Spin around)
No more waiting
(No delay)
Find the groove
(Find the way)
[Chorus]
Whoa! Woe!
(Whatās the story?)
Oh yeah!
(Find the glory)
No more doubt
(No more fear)
Turn it up
(The coast is clear)
Whoa! Woe!
(Let it go)
Oh ya!
(Feel the flow)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here we go!
[Verse 2]
Life can throw a crooked ball
Make you question after all
But the answer isnāt found
By just staring at the ground
[Bridge]
Whoa!
(Do you feel it?)
Woe!
(You can heal it)
Know no
(No more sorrow)
New day
(Starts tomorrow)
[Final Refrain]
Whoa! Woe.
(Oh yeah)
Know no
(No more woe)
⦠here we go!
(Oh yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa!
(Oh yeah)
Woe!
(Let it go)
No more woe
(Here we go)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Outro]
Whoa!
Oh yeah!
Here we go!
Yeah, yeah, yeahā¦
Turned Was
[Intro]
What is nowā¦
(Becomes then)
Round and roundā¦
(Again and again)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Turned was)
Becauseā¦
Time waits for no one
(Know one)
Thenā¦.
(Itās done)
[Verse 1]
Another second slips away
Turns tomorrow into yesterday
The very moment, bright and new
Soon becomes a distant view
What we hold begins to pass
Present turns to former glass
Try to stop it if you can
Time ignores the best of plans
[Pre-Chorus]
Here and now
(Watch it go)
Soon enough
(You will know)
[Chorus]
This is now
(Turned was)
Every cause
(Because)
What arrives
(Will depart)
What begins
(Is the start)
Time waits for no one
(Know one)
Thenā¦
(Itās done)
[Verse 2]
Photographs and memories
Echo former certainties
Places change and people too
What can stay the way it grew?
All the laughter, all the tears
Blend together through the years
Present tense becomes the past
Nothing made can last and last
[Bridge]
Tick and tock
(Never cease)
Piece by piece
(Piece by piece)
Watching now
(Become then)
Then becomes
(Once again)
[Final Chorus]
This isā¦
(Turned was)
Becauseā¦
Time waits for no one
(Know one)
Thenā¦
(Itās done)
This is nowā¦
(Wow! Turned wasā¦)
[Outro]
Thenā¦
(Itās doneā¦)
Nowā¦
(Turned wasā¦)
Endless Consequences
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Ambient Synth Pad, Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Soft Organ Swells]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
One small choiceā¦
(Changes things)
One small stoneā¦
(Makes ripple rings)
[Refrain]
Weāve got
(One planet)
Another āwhy notā
(Couldnāt plan it)
⦠endless consequences
(How intricate are our dances?)
[Verse 1]
Doe your action leave a trace
Moving through both time and space
Does your answer, another guess
Shape another consequence
Pull one thread and others sway
Nothing simply stays one way
Tiny moments, great and small
Can become the rise or fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
(Cause and effect)
What goes out
(Can reconnect)
[Chorus]
One decision
(Branches wide)
One condition
(Turns the tide)
Whatever we say and do
Can find another avenue
Paths converge and then expand
Far beyond what we had planned
Weāve got
(One planet)
Another āwhy notā
(Couldnāt plan it)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Percussive Piano, Rising Synth]
[Verse 2]
As the system intertwines
Hidden links and tangled lines
What seems distant, what seems small
May affect us after all
[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Saxophone Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Weāve got
(One planet)
Another āwhy notā
(Couldnāt plan it)
⦠endless consequences
(How intricate are our dances?)
Step by step
(Turn by turn)
Lesson by lesson
(We slowly learn)
The thing that connects somehow
Through tomorrow and through now
Weāve got one world to understand
And consequences we never planned
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Sustained Organ, Fading Synth Atmosphere, Deep Bass Pulse]
Endless consequencesā¦
(How intricate are our dances?)
One planetā¦
(One chanceā¦)
One last dance
About the Song
1) One Planet. One Water Cycle. Endless Consequences.
Violent rain events are the definitive new climate reality, as rising global temperatures directly alter how, when, and where water falls. Across the world, scientists report that while total annual precipitation may change gradually, the intensity and frequency of extreme downpours are accelerating rapidly. This shift is transforming gentle, localized rain into destructive, high-volume torrents capable of overwhelming modern infrastructure in minutes.
Hydroclimatic whiplash is rapidly shifting regions between drought and deluge, while atmospheric rivers are transporting unprecedented amounts of moisture deep into continental interiors.
Extreme Impacts: Extreme Weather Events | Violent Rain
2) Climate Change Is Disrupting the Biology of Life
Climate change is not just changing the planetāit is changing us. Extreme heat, shifting seasons, storms, and pollution are disrupting our circadian rhythms, damaging sleep, altering the gut microbiome, and destabilizing the gut-brain axis.
Protecting the climate means protecting the systems that keep us alive.
Climate Change, Circadian Disruption, REM Sleep, and the Gut Microbiome
Getting Close
[Intro]
Almost thereā¦
(Or maybe not)
Near enoughā¦
(Weāve got a shot)
[Refrain]
Who knowsā¦
(If this is getting close)
Weāll⦠here goes
(For another dose)
[Verse 1]
So the answer starts as guess
Some bring more and some bring less
Another step reveals a clue
Then another point of view
Little by little, inch by inch
Moving forward, never flinch
What seemed distant yesterday
Now feels almost on display
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your time
(Donāt rush through)
One more look
(Might change the view)
[Chorus]
Getting close
(Or so it seems)
Following
(Fragments of dreams)
Piece by piece
(Line by line)
Somehow things
(Begin to align)
Who knowsā¦
(If this is getting close)
Weāll⦠here goes
(For another dose)
[Verse 2]
Sometimes near is still too far
Sometimes youāve arrived where you are
As the ending starts to bend
Toward another place again
Questions lead and answers roam
Searching for a place called home
Almost right and nearly true
Can still carry you on through
[Bridge]
Not quite there
(But not behind)
Earn a turn
(Sharpen the mind)
One more try
(One more clue)
Whatās uncertain
(Can break through)
[Final Chorus]
Getting close
(Or so it seems)
Chasing down
(Half-formed dreams)
Near enough
(To see the light)
Far enough
(To keep in sight)
Who knowsā¦
(If this is getting close)
Weāll⦠here goes
(For another dose)
Yeah⦠here goesā¦
(Another dose)
[Outro]
Who knowsā¦
(Who knowsā¦)
Maybe weāreā¦
(Getting closeā¦)
Expected
[Intro]
Cause and effectā¦
(Connect the dots)
One thing leadsā¦
(To quite a lot)
[Refrain]
This is expected
(After what weāve erected)
Dejectedā¦
(Being connected)
We did
(Yes, we did)
[Verse 1]
Tiny moments, little turns
Become lessons that life learns
Build it up and set it free
What comes next will surely be
Our signal leaves a trace
Moving through time and space
[Pre-Chorus]
What we make
(Can come back)
What we send
(Leaves a track)
[Chorus]
This is expected
(Not disconnected)
Our ājustā cause
(Leaves it projected)
What we sow
(Starts to grow)
What we choose
(Starts to show)
This is expected
(After what weāve erected)
[Verse 2]
What happens all alone?
Itās the seed have sown
Build a bridge or build a wall
Consequences reach us all
What appears from far away
Often comes back into play
[Bridge]
Round and round
(Here it goes)
What we plant
(Eventually grows)
Piece by piece
(Line by line)
Yesterday
(Becomes tomorrowās sign)
[Final Chorus]
This is expected
(After what weāve erected)
Dejectedā¦
(Being connected)
We did
(Yes, we did)
Does the ending
(Have a start)
Does the whole
(Just fall apart)
This is expectedā¦
(Not neglected)
Every pathwayā¦
(Is connected)
[Outro]
We didā¦
(Yes, we did)
Connectedā¦
(Yes, we are)
Expectedā¦
(After what weāve erected)
Interesting
[Intro]
Well, look at thisā¦
(Imagine that)
Didnāt seeā¦
(Where weāre at)
[Refrain]
Are you forgetting
(This is getting)
⦠interesting
Still suggesting
(More ingesting)
⦠interesting
Wherever you are
(Take in the bizarre)
[Verse 1]
The next answer spawns a few
Questions fresh and questions new
Another turn reveals a twist
Things you never thought existed
Strange can suddenly appear
Then become familiar here
Whatās unusual today
May become the normal way
[Pre-Chorus]
Lean in close
(Donāt look away)
Know the oddity
(Has something to say)
[Chorus]
Interesting
(To say the least)
As the puzzle
(Feeds the beast)
Unfolding mystery
(Sets the stage)
Turns another
(Unwritten page)
Are you forgetting
(This is getting)
⦠interesting
[Verse 2]
Take another look around
Wonder can be newly found
Curious minds tend to roam
Making the unusual home
Patterns hide in random things
Meaning often grows on wings
Sometimes weird is simply new
Waiting for another view
[Bridge]
Thatās peculiar
(Indeed it is)
Thatās impossible
(Or maybe not)
Take it in
(Donāt resist)
Life can be
(A curious twist)
[Final Chorus]
Still suggesting
(More ingesting)
⦠interesting
Are you forgetting
(This is getting)
⦠interesting
Wherever you are
(Take in the bizarre)
Open your eyes
(Open your mind)
You never know
(What you may find)
Understandingā¦
(Interestingā¦)
[Outro]
Take in the bizarreā¦
(Interestingā¦)
Youāll come to knowā¦
(Understandingā¦)
Almost Over
[Intro]
One more turnā¦
(One more page)
One more songā¦
(Another stage)
[Refrain]
This isā¦
(Almost over)
⦠but not quiteā¦
(Yet)
So donāt forget
(Yet to discover)
To get it right
(You bet)
[Verse 1]
The endingās waving from afar
But weāre not where the endings are
Thereās still a road beneath our feet
Still a rhythm, still a beat
[Chorus]
Almost over
(Not complete)
One more chorus
(One more beat)
Hold the moment
(Donāt let go)
Something waits
(Beyond what we know)
This isā¦
(Almost over)
⦠but not quiteā¦
(Yet)
[Verse 2]
We have laughed and we have tried
Taken a wild nā winding ride
Lost our way and found it too
Learned a little passing through
[Bridge]
Not the last
(Not today)
Thereās another song
(Left to play)
One more wish
(One more bet)
One more dream
(Not finished yet)
[Final Chorus]
This isā¦
(Almost over)
⦠but not quiteā¦
(Yet)
So donāt forget
(Yet to discover)
To get it right
(You bet)
One more turn
(One more view)
One more chance
(To see it through)
Almost overā¦
(Not complete)
One more chorusā¦
(One more beat)
[Outro]
Not quiteā¦
(Yetā¦)
Almost overā¦
(Not yetā¦)
One more songā¦
(You betā¦)
