[Spoken Vocal]
Time to scurry

(Into the flurry…)

There is no quitting…

(And the clock keeps ticking.)

[Refrain]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
The time is now
(And somehow…)
The day…
(Will slip away)

[Verse 1]
Morning breaks and off we go
One more thing and one more show
Messages and voices calling
Plans are rising, minutes falling

Round the corner, down the street
Trying hard to match the beat
So much moving, through the sound
Searching out what is found

[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry!
(What’s the hurry?)
Go!
(There’s no slow)

Time!
(Better get going)
Now!
(It’s flowing)

[Chorus]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
The time is now
(And somehow…)
The day…
(Will slip away)

Round and round
(The minutes fly)
Catch the moment
(Before goodbye)

[Verse 2]
Could be weather, could be life
Could be trouble, could be strife
Could be motion, could be chance
Hope it’s not our last dance

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Fast Melodic Lead, Rhythmic Bass, Busy Drums, Synth Arpeggios]
[Bridge]
Flurry!
(Hurry!)

Time!
(Running!)

Day!
(Slipping!)

Now!
(Is how!)

Don’t wait
(Too long)
Don’t drift
(Along)

Take the moment
(While it’s here)
Make it matter
(Make it clear)

[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Acoustic Guitar, Soft Piano, Light Percussion]
The flurry settles…

The noise fades…

And suddenly…

You can hear the clock.
(Tick tock, tick tock)

[Final Refrain]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
The time is now
(And somehow…)
The day…
(Will slip away)

[Final Chorus]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
Don’t let the moment
(Slip away)

The time is now
(Right here, right now)
The day is moving
(Anyhow)

Round and round
(The minutes fly)
Catch the moment
(Before goodbye)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Acoustic Guitar, Shimmering Synth, Bass, Hand Percussion, Drums Gradually Fade]
Caught up…

In the flurry…

Guess I’d better hurry…

The time is now…

And somehow…
(Find away)
For the day…
(To stay)
Don’t let ‘er…
… slip away.

Splurge

Rush
(Flow of flush)

[Verse 1]
Something building underneath
Pressure rising, out of reach
Quiet water, standing still
Till it finds the slope and spills

Drop by drop and inch by inch
Then the current makes a switch
What was slow becomes a rush
Suddenly it’s more than much

[Pre-Chorus]
Rise
(Rise)
Flow
(Go)

Build
(Then break)
Move
(Then wake)

When the river starts transforming
A channel fills, the banks give way

[Chorus]
Rushed right past
(Speedin’ fast)
Rushed right past
(Couldn’t last)

What was there
(What did I see?)
What went by
(What could it be?)

Rushed right past
(Out of sight)
Moving fast
(Through the night)

[Verse 2]
Look around and read the signs
Notice patterns between the lines
The passing moment can reveal
Something real you didn’t feel

[Instrumental]

Rushed right past
(Changed my mind)

Speedin’ fast…

(Right past…)

Couldn’t last…

(Look around…)

Now here’s found.

[Final Refrain]
Rushed right past
(Speedin’ fast)
Rushed right past
(Couldn’t last)

Rushed right past
(Out of sight)
Won’t slow it down
(Head into the light)

[Final Chorus]
Rushed right past
(What couldn’t last)
Rushed right into
(The new knew)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Light Drums, Organ Fade]
[Refrain]
Rushed right past
(All hopes dashed)
Rushed right to
(The new knew)

In the hand’s palm

Open hand and steady breath
Find the space between the steps
Grip too hard and tension grows
Let it loosen, let it flow

Let go

Like trying to hold a bird’s wing
Close your hand and it may flee
Open wide and let it be

About the Song
Adrenaline (also called epinephrine) is a vital hormone and chemical messenger made by your adrenal glands on top of your kidneys. It pours into your blood during fear, stress, or excitement, triggering the “fight-or-flight” response to help you react quickly to danger.

How Adrenaline Affects the Body
Heart rate: Your heart beats faster to push more blood to your muscles.
Breathing: Your airways open up wide so you can take in more air.
Energy: Your body releases stored sugar into your blood for quick power.
Focus: Your brain becomes hyper-alert and sharp.
