LYRICS
… no….
… was not expecting that

The alarm clock is ringing
Time to get up and go to school
Smell the coffee! Birds are singing,
“Stop playing the fool”

… no….
… was not expecting that

Time to wake up and rise high
Get out of bed and go to school
Wake up and smell the coffee! Try!
Stop playing the fool

LYRICS
I’m not alone on this… am I?
All this talk, talk, talk — do or die
Have to shake my head and ask why
If you don’t like your birth on Earth
Don’t blame it on your fellow earthlings
Why not see what good will will bring
(Goodwill brings)

I’m not alone on this… am I?
When it comes to walk the walk — bye
Have to hang my head and ask why
(Cry)
If you don’t like your birth on Earth
Don’t blame it on your fellow earthlings
Why not see what good will will bring
(Goodwill brings)

LYRICS
Yellow and blue
Got together to…
Change their color
The allure of something more
As their scene turned to green
Do you know what it means?
Little did they know
Makes everybody go

Red and blue
Got together to…
Change their color
The allure of something more
Double down to deep purple
A royal popped bubble
Little did they know
Of the cosmic flow

LYRICS
Some days come and then they roll
And there’s some you have to pull
What ever happened to rock-n-roll?
I’m here to tell you… it’s hear to stay
Let’s take stroll
Walk right this way
Let’s here you say
“May your days roll!”

Some nights come and then they roll
And there’s some you have to pull
What ever happened to rock-n-roll?
I’m here to tell you… it’s hear to stay
Let’s take stroll
Walk right this way
Let’s here you say
“May your days roll!”

Does life come and then roll
Afterlife… do you have to pull?

I’m here to tell you… it’s hear to stay
Let’s take stroll
Walk right this way
Let’s here you say
“May your days roll!”

Yes sir, I can fly
Just watch my mind’s eye
Let’s start the countdown

LYRICS
You know an insurrection is not a resurrection?
Fallen for the devil’s spell
The thing with a king doing his thing
Vibration of freedom’s ring
Rings true
Through and through

Claiming inbreeding is not conceding
Fallen angels… oh oh well
The thing with King is in the thinking
The “meant” of the statement
Does it ring true
You ask you
Through and through

Our world — drifting through space
Yet there are those determined for a fixed place
Well, here’s some new knew

Drifting through space
Yet there are those determined for a fixed place
Well, here’s some new knew

LYRICS
You feeling OK?
Can’t hear what you say
Why treat us this way?
It’s time we move on… to a new day

Like a fish out of water
Is it starting to bother?
Are you feeling a bit ill
Looking blue around the gill

If you need some help just give a holler
You’re starting to regain a little color
Sometimes you’ve got to ask is it worth the dollar?

You feeling OK?
Can you hear what we say
Why treat us this way?
It’s time we move on… to a new day

LYRICS
Not quite like it ever was
Nor near back to normal
Our only reason is “cause”
Tooth n’ nail (call to) maul
Maul, maul, maul!

You’ve stumbled upon a special place
We’ve smiles on our face
Please don’t discount the human race
There’s music, dance, and lace
… and we dream…
We dream on…
… dream along….

Not quite like the ever “cause”
Nor near back to normal
Our only reason is “was”
Hear the call?
Here the call!

It’s up to you
It’s up to you what you do
Those of that choose

Then facts are facts
It is true

Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t

LYRICS
No way, uh-huh, I’m not mad
In fact, I am rather glad
Sad sack is leaving
No more deceiving
Fade the days gone bad

From the ashes, sparks and flashes
Going to rise again
From our hopes dreams we mean
Ending end to begin

No way, uh-huh, I’m not mad
In fact, I am rather glad
Gone is insanity
From our humanity
File under “had”

From the ashes, sparks and flashes
Going to rise again
From our hopes dreams we mean
Ending end to begin

Way deep down inside your gut
Freeing yourself from the rut
Forging a path
Away from wrath
New lease on peace

Why not put the past to bed
