[Intro]
Full blown?
(Hey! We’re ya goin’)

[Verse 1]
Down the road
(Where does it go?)
Carryin’ a load
(How would I know?)

One foot out
(Then another)
No more doubt
(Here we go, brother!)

You can stay right here
(Where it’s safe and sound)
Or take that first step
(And see what can be found)

[Refrain]
Goin’ without knowin’
(Full blown!)
Outta your comfort zone
(You make it… you own)
Full blown!

[Verse 2]
Full blown!

A little bit crazy
(A little extreme!)

A thought in motion
(A notion takes flight)
A spark of curiosity
(Turnin’ into light)

Full blown!
(Let it roll!)
Full blown!
(Lose control!)

Break that mold
(Find your way)
Don’t wait for someday
(Do it today!)

Take a chance

Make a move

[Intro]
Here for a moment
(Then gone from sight)
A thought in the morning
(Away by night)

You try to hold her
(You try to stay)
But time keeps moving
(And carries her away)

[Verse 1]
A little idea
Can enter your mind
You reach out to catch it
(But it’s already behind)

[Refrain]
The thought…
(Fleeting)
It’s not…
(Completing)

Fly, fly, fly
(Why goodbye?)
Fly away
(Fly, fly, fly)
Let’s hear you say:
(Fly, fly, fly)

[Verse 2]
Yesterday’s thought
Is tomorrow’s clue
Something you wondered
(Suddenly comes true)

[Chorus]
Fleeting!
(Here and gone!)

Moving!
(Traveling on!)

[Refrain]
The thought…
(Fleeting)
It’s not…
(Completing)

Fly, fly, fly

[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?

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

Do you dare?

Do you listen?

[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!

Requests…

A little truth…
(A little play)
A little something…

[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)

Can I request…

With love
We’ll rise above…

[Intro]
What lies ahead?
(How the future will flow?)
What lies behind?
(How far does it go?)

A question in the darkness
(A whisper in the night)
Searching for the answer
(Searching for the light)

[Verse 1]
You can read the pages
Of the years gone by
You can trace the footsteps
(And ask the reason why)

[Refrain]
Is your destiny
(A mystery)
Or do you plan
(To understand)

Is your history
(A mystery)
Is Man’s plan
(Hard to understand)

[Verse 2]
Man has made a thousand plans
And changed a thousand more
Built a road to somewhere
(Then forgot what it was for)

[Refrain]
Is your destiny
(A mystery)
Or do you plan
(To understand)

Is your history

Turn on the light
(What do you see?)
Open your mind
(Come enlighten me)

A spark in the dark

[Intro]
Something’s changing
(What could it be?)
A little light
(Is dawning on me)

I looked away
(But couldn’t flee)
The thing I sought
(Was looking at me)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
With a thought in my head
Something I’d heard
(Something somebody said)
Could be coincidence
Could be a sign
Could be the future
(Catching up with time)

I took a step
Then another one
Didn’t know exactly
Where I was going
But looking back
I can finally see
The road I traveled
Was becoming me

[Refrain]
Reality…
(It’s dawning on me)
I’m starting to see
(Self-fulfilling destiny)
… or…
(A knew trajectory)

[Verse 2]
I thought the future
Was waiting somewhere
Hidden in the distance
(Floating in the air)
Turns out the future
Isn’t somewhere to find
Here it is forming
(One choice at a time)

[Refrain]
Reality…
(It’s dawning on me)
I’m starting to see
(Self-fulfilling destiny)
… or…
(A knew trajectory)

[Bridge]
… if the question
Is part of the clue…
Look at the answer
Staring at you

See!
(See more clearly)

Think!
(Think differently!)

Choose!
(Choose carefully!)

[Break]
For sure?
(Not quite!)
Certain?
(Nope!)

Written in stone?
(Not likely!)
Open for suggestion?
(Absolutely!)

Reality!
(Reality!)

What’s dawning on me?
(The way that we see “we”…)

Can change what it will be!

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Saxophone Solo, Percussion Break]
Dawn…
(Dawn…)
Dawn…
(Dawning on me…)

[Final Chorus]
Dawning on me
(Dawning on me)
I’m starting to see
(Self-fulfilling destiny)
… the future
Isn’t destiny
… our choices
Become reality

Dawning on me
(What will it be?)
Something is changing
Inside of me

… getting a clue
… about “we”
Starts with what we do

[Final Refrain]
Reality…
(It’s dawning on me)
I’m starting to see
(Self-fulfilling destiny)

What I thought was destiny
(Is becoming “we”)

Step inside
(Don’t be afraid)
Everybody’s smiling
(Everybody’s made)

Standing still
(Standing still)
Waiting for the room to turn
(Waiting for the thrill)

[Verse 1]
I walked through the doorway
And something felt strange
A face not familiar
Yet nobody changed

Eyes looking forward
A smile painted on
I wondered for a moment
(Where had everybody gone?)

A hand on the shoulder
A pose frozen tight
You could swear they were breathing
(But they never moved right)

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this a reflection
(Is this reality?)
Am I just observing
(What I’m supposed to see?)

If everybody’s certain
(But nobody knows)
How do you tell the difference
(When nobody shows?)

[Refrain]
Do you feel
(Like I am…)
… in a wax museum?

Are you real
(The real deal)
… or muse-dumb?

[Verse 2]
Am I the statue
And you’re the guide
… we’re both pretending
(There’s nothing here to hide)

A little bit of vanity
A little bit of fame
A frozen little likeness
(And somebody’s given it a name)

But outside the museum
The real world carries on
The river keeps on flowing
(Even when the lights are gone)

[Chorus]
Wax museum
(Wax museum)
I’m supposing…
(Everybody’s posing)

Real deal
(Real deal)
Or just another copy
(That doesn’t feel?)

Muse-dumb
(Muse-dumb)
Lost inside the room
When you’re staring at the statue
(Who’s the statue… me or you?)

A little connection
A little reaction
One tiny flash
(Can start an interaction)

[Verse 1]
From point to point
The signal flies
Across the space
Before your eyes

You touch a wire
The current runs
A little charge
(And then it comes!)

A sudden jolt
A little surprise
The world lights up
(Before you realize)

But there’s one kind of treasure
That can’t be bought or sold

You can build a castle
With a wall ten miles wide
But hope needs a doorway
(For love to get inside)

You can measure your fortune
You can count every dime
But money can’t purchase
(A moment in time)

[Pre-Chorus]
So when the numbers don’t add up
And the road gets rough
Look around you
(You may already have enough)

[Refrain]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!

Come on… give ‘er a go!
(Love helps hope grow)
So…

Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)

[Verse 2]
Give a little kindness
(Give a little more)
Open up your heart
(Open up the door)

[Refrain]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!

Come on… give ‘er a go!
(Love helps hope grow)
So…

Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)

[Bridge]
Pride wails:
“I’m the legend of the tales”

(Love sings:
“Look what the heart brings”)

Fear cries:
“All hope dies!”

(Hope replies:
“Open your eyes”)

[Break]
Give!
(Live!)

Give!
(Live!)

Give a little hope
(Give a little love)

Live!
(Strive to come alive)

Live!
(Live!)

Love out loud
(Part the clouds)

[Instrumental]
[Warm guitar]
[Big piano chords]
[Handclaps]
[Call and response]

What do you know?
(Love!)

What do you need?
(Hope!)

What can you give?
(Love!)

How do you live?
(Thrive alive)

[Final Chorus]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!

Come on… give ‘er a go!
(Love helps hope grow)
So…

Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)

[Final Refrain]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!

This is what I know:
(Love helps hope grow)
So…

Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)

[Outro]
Give a little hope…
(Give!)
Give a little love…
(Live!)

Give what you can…
(Give, give, give!)

And when you don’t know
What tomorrow brings…
(The heart sings)
Love

That’s the show…
(What I know)

[Intro]
What’s that?
(What’s this?)
What’s what?
(Pop quiz)

Look around
(What do you see?)
Ask again
(What could it be?)

[Verse 1]
I want to know
(I want to know)
Before I go
(Before I go)

What’s underneath
(The surface?)
What’s beneath…

[Chorus]
Are you…
(Inquisitive)
Or is your brain
(Like a sieve)

Do you…
(Think)
Or refrain

To sustain…
(Be inquisitive)

[Verse 2]
A little curiosity
Can open up a door
A little more attention
Can show you something more

Connect one dot
(Then another)
Look for the pattern
(Stealth… undercover)

[Chorus]
Are you…
(Inquisitive)
Or is your brain
(Like a sieve)

Do you…
(Think)
Or refrain

To sustain…
(Be inquisitive)

[Bridge]
Question!
(What?)

Wonder!
(Why?)

Suggestion:
(Kiss the sky!)

You don’t have to know
To start the quest
You just have to wonder:

(What’s next?)

[Break]
Think!
(Wink!)

Seek!
(Peak!)

Peek!
(Tweak!)

[Instrumental]
[Quirky synth groove]
[Driving bass]
[Rapid-fire questions]

What’s the cause?
(What’s the effect?)

Not “because”
(What’s the heck?)

[Final Chorus]
Are you…
(Inquisitive)
Or is your brain
(Like a sieve)

Do you…
(Think)
Or refrain

To sustain…
(Be inquisitive)

Are you…
(Inquisitive)
Ready to perceive?

Don’t just hear the answer…

(Question what you believe!)

[Outro]
What’s that?

(I dunno.)

Why?

(I wanna know.)

How?

(Let’s find out…)
… all about…

Be…

(Inquisitive!)
Live (inquisitive)
