Listen close…
(A standing ovation)

(This is…)
A rousing ovation
(Beyond imagination)
This is…
(Gratification)
No longer in…
(Isolation)

[Verse 1]
Curtain rises, lights aglow
Time has come to steal the show
Dreams once whispered now take flight
Joined together in the light

Hands are raised, the voices soar
Hope is louder than before
What began with just one spark
Now illuminates the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Stand as one
(Side by side)
Share the joy
(Far and wide)

Nothing ventured was in vain
Hearts unite in celebration
To a rousing ovation

Applause echoes through the hall
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
When we gather, hope is found
In the thunder of the sound

[Bridge]
Raise your hands
(To the sky)
Lift your voice
(Hold it high)
Share the moment
(Let it ring)
This is why…
(We sing)

[Final Chorus]
Hear the sound!
(Ringing clear!)
Feel the crowd!
(We’re all here!)

Look around…

(This is magnificent)
As to how it went…
(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 we’ve always led

[Pre-Chorus]
Open wide
(Your point of view)
You’ll be surprised
(By what shines through)

More than words can truly say
Brighter than yesterday

[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, “This is magnificent.”

Take it slow
(Breathe it in)
Where we end
(Is where we begin)
Speed it up
(Dream by dream)
More than it first seemed

[Refrain]
Starting the quiz:

[Verse 1]
Does the answer start a trail
Some prevail and some derail
Another label, another name
Points toward—but’s not the same

Questions shape the things we know
Further still we’ve yet to go
Piece by piece the picture grows
Only after asking “those?”

[Pre-Chorus]
Look again
(Take your time)
Every clue
(Fits the rhyme)

[Chorus]
What do you see?

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
(Don’t pretend)
Questions lead

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Soft Pad Wash, Reversed Piano Swells, Muted Guitar Harmonics, Subtle Organ Drone, Low Sub-Bass Pulse, Light Click Percussion]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
This is…
(Blissless)
This is…

[Refrain]
This is…
(Bliss?)
No! Ignorance
(Amiss)

[Instrumental, explosive guitar riff, thumping bass, percussion groove]

[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 can’t retrieve

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it calm or just delay?
A thought that won’t 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 we’re living in?)
We name it fast so we can move along
(But the meaning feels half gone)

[Refrain]
This is…
(Bliss?)
No! Ignorance
(Amiss)

[Instrumental Break: Guitar Lead Motif, Organ Sustain, Rhythmic Piano Chords, Rising Synth Arpeggios, Deep Bass Pulse, Tight Drum Pattern]

[Verse 2]
We carve our truth yet don’t understand
With trembling voice and half-formed plan
An answer breaks before it’s 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 can’t define
(A boundary without a line)

Is it bliss or just the spin
(Of everything we’re living in?)
We name it fast so we can move along
(But the meaning is gone)

[Refrain – Outro Variation]
This is…

(We’re about to find out)
… all about…
(Far, far, far)
Out

[Verse 1]
One more mile beyond the bend
One more trail that doesn’t end
Maps can only point the way
Feet decide where we’ll stray

Round the corner, over there
Past the places everywhere
Every question starts a route
Leading farther… farabout

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on going
(Don’t turn back)
Will the journey

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Accents, Syncopated Drums]

[Verse 2]
Take the long way if you choose
Sometimes that’s 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 out…

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Bass, Organ, Light Drums]

[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 is…
(Yes, it is)
This is…
(Before turning to was)

This is…
(Still alive)
This is…
(Our chance to decide)

[Refrain]
This is…
(Yes, it is)
This is…
(Before turning to was)

Why?
(Because)
Why now? … have you forgot
(Because now’s all we’ve 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 arrives…
(Then joins the past)

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Swell]

[Final Chorus]
This is…
(Yes, it is)
This is…
(Before turning to was)

This is…
(The story we write)
One more day
(One more night)

[Final Refrain]
This is…
(Yes, it is)
This is…
(Before turning to was)

Why?
(Because)

Why wait?
(Because this is… now)
Don’t forget how

[Outro]
This is…
(Yes, it is)
This is…
(Until it becomes… was)
