[Intro]
Hey!
(Hey!)

Where ya goin’?
(Are ya showin’?)

Got a scope?
(Nope!)

Got a plan?
(Ah, man!)

Well then…
(Let’s go!)

[Verse 1]
There’s a road in front of me
(And another to the right)
One goes toward the mountain
(One disappears from sight)

Could ask somebody
(Which way should I go?)
Could wait for a sign
(To reveal and show)

[Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

[Verse 2]
The future isn’t written
(At least before it’s gone)
The choice becomes a piece
(Of the road we’re on)

You can follow somebody
(You can blaze your own)
You can wander for a while
(And still find your way home)

[Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

So take a breath
(Look around)
Put your feet upon the ground
(Feel the sound)

[Bridge]
Hey! Are ya knowin’…
(Where ya goin’?)

Don’t know!
(That’s okay!)

Hey!
(Which way?)

Any way!
(Every which way!)

Left!
(Right!)

Up!
(Down!)

Keep your feet
(Movin’ round!)

Where ya goin’?
(I dunno!)

How do ya get there?

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Organ, Deep Sub-Bass, Electric Guitar, Drums, Percussion]

[Intro]
Hey!
(What’s that sound?)
Thump-thump…
(Round and round)

Something’s wrong
(But we keep ridin’)
Something’s low
(No more hidin’)

[Verse 1]
I felt a wobble in the middle of the night
Thought maybe something wasn’t quite right
Kept on rolling, thinking it would disappear
But every mile made the problem more clear

You can polish up the rim
(You can shine it bright)
But a flat little secret
Won’t stay outta sight

[Pre-Chorus]
One side’s down
(One side’s low)
One side’s up
(Where’d it go?)

Spin that wheel
(Turn it ’round)
Funny thing…
(No hole can be found)

[Refrain]
Is that tire flat?
(Only on one side)

So that’s where we’re at…
(Can’t hide the snide)

Blew a tire
(Knew it was dire)
No, you can’t hide
(What you can’t ride)

[Verse 2]
You can pump it up
(Up, up, up)
You can talk it down
(Down, down, down)
You can try n’ spin it round

But when the rubber meets the road
When the pressure starts to fall
Your secret will explode
When you turn it round… after all

[Chorus]
Flat on one side!
(Flat on one side!)
Rolling ain’t riding
(When the wheel won’t glide)

[Refrain]
Is that tire flat?
(Only on one side)

So that’s where we’re at…
(Can’t hide the snide)

Blew a tire
(Knew it was dire)
No, you can’t hide
(What you can’t ride)

[Bridge]
If it’s flat…
(Fix that!)
If it’s broken…
(Get it stokin’)

‘Cause pretending
(Doesn’t roll!)
And denial
(Takes its toll!)

[Break]
Is it flat?
(Yeah!)

On one side?
(Yeah!)

Can ya ride?
(Know?)
Oh, no, no, no, no

Can ya hide?
(No! Can’t ride)

[Instrumental: Driving Rock Groove — Electric Guitar, Organ, Piano, Deep Bass, Drums, Percussion]

(Where ya goin’?)
What’s ahead?
(Is there any knowin’)

Take a step…
(Take a chance)
Feel the beat…
(And make it dance)

[Verse 1]
There’s a road that ain’t been taken
There’s a song that ain’t been sung
There’s a world that’s still awakenin’
Waiting for the morning sun

No map to tell us where to wander
No sign to say which way is right
But every step can take us farther
Out of the shadow into the light

[Refrain]
We’re goin’ for a stroll
(Beyond the great unknown)
The future of rock n’ roll
(For the first time shown)

The light
(Shine)
Oh so fine
(Shine, shine, shine)

The light
(Shone)
Where we’re goin’…
(… beyond the great unknown)

[Verse 2]
Perhaps a little crazy
Is the way to go
If you wait until you’re ready
You may never really know

There’s a rhythm in the thunder
There’s a heartbeat in the ground
When you stop and start to wonder
You can hear a brand-new sound

[Chorus]
Rock n’ roll!
(Go beyond!)
Rock n’ roll!

(Past the line)

Where did it go?
(Where did it fly?)
Caught by the wind
(Into the sky)

Round and around
(The pieces are spinning)
Lost in the current
(Is anyone winning?)

[Verse 1]
A little bit here
(A little bit there)
Blown from the ground
(Into the air)

Tattered old pages
(Torn at the seam)
Fragments of yesterday
(Fragments of a dream)

Scattered like leaves
(Across every mile)
Worn by the journey
(… carried a while)

Windblown

Into the unknown
(Scattered… worn)

[Verse 2]
The wind doesn’t ask
(What you believe)
It picks up the pieces
(And makes them leave)

What seemed permanent
(Did suddenly move)
What seemed so certain
(Can suddenly prove)

That what was fixed
(Isn’t still)
The wind has a way
(Of changing the deal)

Who do we call?
(There goes it all)

The lights go out
(The power’s gone)
We look around

They told us they had answers
(They told us they knew)
They drew up all the plans
(And told us what to do)

But when the trouble started
(When the pressure came)

(Couldn’t play the game)

Who’s gonna lead us?

People find a way

A neighbor brings a bucket
(Another brings some food)
Crankin’ up a ruckus

[Intro]
Can you hear me?
(Can you hear?)
I’m talking louder
(But nobody’s near)

I sent the message
(I made it clear)
But somehow the meaning
(Just disappeared)

[Verse 1]
The warning came early
(It came again)
A whisper in the hallway
(A shout in the wind)

I tried to explain it
(I tried to be heard)
But silence answered
(Before a single word)

Some wanted comfort
(Some wanted proof)
Some closed the window
(To keep out the truth)

And when the voice grew louder
(What did they do?)
They turned away
(Well… will you, too?)

[Refrain]
The yell fell
(On deaf ears)
Wanting cheers
(Getting jeers)

[Verse 2]
A message isn’t magic
(And truth ain’t always sweet)
Sometimes what you need to hear
(Is what you least want to meet)

The louder that I shouted
(The harder they resisted)
The more they called it nonsense
(The more the point was missed)

[Refrain]
The yell fell

Maybe it’s nothing
(Maybe it’s not)
Maybe the warning
(Is all that we’ve got)

As the feedback feeds feedback
(And change feeds change)
What once seemed familiar
(Can suddenly feel strange)

“Is something going wrong?”
It’s how fast it’s changing…

Flew today

The thought…
(May begin again)
… why not?

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Harmonica, Tribal Percussion, Electric Slide, Guitar]

[Intro]
When I was just a little kid
(I did what I did)
My folks had something to say
(Still with me to this day)

Life isn’t free
(There’s always a due)
And what you give
(Comes back to you)

[Verse 1]
Papa taught me early
Before I could count
Each and every promise
(Has to be accounted)

Pay your debts
(Do what’s due)
Keep your word
(See it through)

You don’t need a fortune
You don’t need fame
Just keep your conscience
(Clear of the blame)

[Instrumental, Harmonica Solo, Rhythm Guitar, Slide Guitar]

[Refrain]
Papa always said:
(Son, don’t forget…)
Be true… pay what’s due
(No debt. No regret.)

From the first day
(Of my birth on Earth)
My mama would say
(Son, ’till you’re dead)
Be true… pay what’s due
(No debt. No regret.)

I won’t forget…
(Oh, no, no, no)
I due know
(Sooo….)
You bet…
(Do what’s due)
I do…

[Verse 2]
Mama had another lesson
That I learned along the way
What you do to someone else
(Can come back another day)

Give a little kindness
When kindness is required
Don’t leave somebody stranded
(When they’re already tired)

Pay attention
(Pay your dues)
Pay respect
(That’s your cue)

Cause the greatest debt
Isn’t money in a book
It’s the credit of having cared
(And giving when you could)

[Instrumental, Harmonica Solo, Rhythm Guitar, Slide Guitar]

[Chorus]
I due know!
(I do!)

What is due!
(What to do)

I due know!
(I do!)

[Bridge]
Due to you!
(Due to me!)

Due to them!
(Due to we!)

What we borrow
(What we use)

What we leave
(What we choose)

Earth gives us
(What we need)

What we owe her
(What we heed)

[Instrumental, Harmonica Solo, Rhythm Guitar, Slide Guitar]

[Break]
Do you know?
(I do!)

Do you care?
(Me, too!)

What’s due?
(We’ll do!)

No debt!
(No regret!)

Be true!
(Do what’s due!)

I due know!

[Outro]
[Instrumental, Harmonica Solo, Rhythm Guitar, Slide Guitar]
I won’t forget… (wont regret)
(Oh, no, no, no)
I due know
(Sooo….)
You bet… (won’t forget)
(Do what’s due)
Will you…

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ Swells, Tribal Percussion, Electric Guitar]

[Intro]
Do you know?
(Yes or no?)

Do you wonder?
(Do you ponder?)

Do you ask yourself…
… hey!
(What’s really going on?)
… say…
Do you?

[Verse 1]
Do you look beyond
What is right in front of you?
Do you question what you hear
When somebody says it’s true?

Do you listen for the answer
When the question isn’t clear?
Do you recognize the signal
(When the meaning’s hiding here?)

[Refrain]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Do you know
(Do you?)
… tell me true
(Do you?)

Do you care
(Do you?)
Are you aware
(Care to share?)

[Verse 2]
Do you care about tomorrow
When tomorrow isn’t here?
Do you care about the people
… with what we leave here?

Do you care enough to wonder
What your choices really mean?
Do you see beyond the moment
(To the consequences unseen?)

[Refrain]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Do you know
(Do you?)
… tell me true
(Do you?)

Do you care
(Do you?)
Are you aware
(Care to share?)

… are you even there?

[Bridge]
Do you
(See through)

Do you dare?
(Do you care?)

Do you listen?
(Do you share?)

[Break]
Oh, oh, oh…
So… do you?
(Point of view)

Think!
(Succinct)

Care!
(Dare)
To care
(Share!)

(Do you?)
Look around!
See what’s found
(Do you?)
Purview
(Do you?)

[Instrumental]

[Sub-bass synth]

[Final Refrain]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Do you know
(Do you?)

Do you care
(Do you?)
Are you aware
(Care to share?)

Do you know?
(Do you?)

Will you go?
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Outro]
Do you?
(Do you?)

Tell me true…

(Do you?)

Do you care?

(Do you?)

Are you aware?

(Care to share?)

Share you, too?

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Saxophone, Tribal Percussion, Electric Slide, Guitar]

[Intro]
Step right up…
(What can I do?)
Got a question?
(I got one too)

Pull up a chair
(Anywhere)
Got something on your mind?
(Well… let’s see what we can find)

[Verse 1]
Do you want a melody?
(A little harmony)
A song about the weather?
(Or getting things together)

A tune about the truth?
(A little more uncouth)
A rhyme about the reason?
(For every changing season)

[Pre-Chorus]
You ask…
(I’ll try)
You wonder…
(Why?)

You make a request
(I’ll do my best)
But if I don’t know…
(Well, there you go)

[Refrain]
Do you take requests?
(Give it a go)
Might I suggest…
(One that I know)

[Verse 2]
Request a little wisdom
(Where can I get some?)
Request a little laughter
(What happens after?)

Request a better answer
(Perhaps another dancer)
Request a way to choose
(When there’s nothing left to lose)

[Refrain]
Do you take requests?
(Oh, I dunno… giver ‘er a go)
Might I suggest…
(One that I know)

[Verse 3]
Can I request a better world?
(A little less absurd)
A planet we can share?
(Where humane humanity is there.)

Can I request some peace?
(And maybe wars decrease)
Can I request some love?
(Enough to rise above)

Can I request a clue?
(About what we should do)
Can I request a sign?
(That the future might be fine)

[Bridge]
What if I request…
(A little more patience)
What if I suggest…
(A new expectation)

What if the answer…
(Isn’t an answer at all?)
What if the question…
(Is the reason we call?)

[Break]
Do you take requests?
(Yes, I do!)
Got a good suggestion?
(Yes! This one is for you!)

Love our evolution!
(Love our planet!)
Ask the question!
(Then understand it!)

[Instrumental]
Requests…
(Send ’em my way)
Requests…
(Any time of day)

A little truth…
(A little play)
A little something…
(To brighten the day)

[Final Refrain]
Do you take requests?
(Give it a go)
Might I suggest…
(One that I know)

Do you take requests?
(Ask me again)
Might I suggest…
(Question your question, my friend)

[Outro]
One more request?
(What’s that?)
Can I request…
(A little more love?)

Of love…
With love
We’ll rise above…
(Love, love, love)
