[Silence]
[Intro – Gentle acoustic guitar, shimmering bells, and floating synths]

Ooh, the morning’s calling
(Calling out to you)
Feel the sunshine falling
(Coming shining through)

Leave the heavy baggage
(Let it drift away)
There’s so much magic
(In the light of day)

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the world upon my shoulders
Yesterday was weighing on my mind
But the older that I get, the more I notice
There’s a little more of life to find

See the sparrow dancing on the railing
See the clouds go wandering along
Hear the distant children laughing
Every little sound becomes a song

[Refrain]
Light hearted
(Let’s get started)
Take to flight
(Shine your light)

Light hearted
(Departed)
Took to flight
(Shining light)

Light hearted
(Shine, shine, shine)
Throughout time
(Shine, shine, shine)

[Verse 2]
You don’t have to solve the whole equation
You don’t have to carry every stone
Sometimes all it takes is a little patience
And the courage to be fully your own

[Refrain]
Light hearted
(Let’s get started)
Take to flight
(Shine your light)

Light hearted
(Departed)
Took to flight
(Shining light)

Light hearted
(Shine, shine, shine)
Throughout time
(Shine, shine, shine)

[Bridge – Dreamy, floating vocals over a pulsing bass]

A little kindness
(A bit of grace)
Add some sunshine
(To another’s face)

A little laughter
(With our song)
Letting the love
(… carry us along)

[Instrumental Break – Sparkling guitar arpeggios, glockenspiel, and swirling organ]

Shine, shine, shine!
(Shine, shine, shine!)

Up, up, up!
(Never give up!)

Fly, fly, fly!
(Into the open sky!)

Light, light, light!
(Alright! All right!)

[Breakdown – Call and response]

Who’s got a light heart?
(You do! You do!)
Who’s gonna shine bright?
(Me and you!)

Who’s gonna spread it?
(Everywhere!)
Who’s gonna lift it?
(Into the air!)

What are we waiting for?
(Let’s get started!)
… LIGHT HEARTED!

[Final Refrain – Big harmonies, soaring guitars, and layered vocals]
Light hearted
(Let’s get started)
Take to flight

Took to flight

[Outro]

Light hearted

Throughout time

[Outro – Instruments gradually fade into bells and soft harmonies]

Shine, shine, shine
(Throughout time)

[Spoken – Warmly, with a smile]

Shine, shine, shine
(Help making it fine.)

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

[Intro]
Step right up!
(Welcome to the show!)
Where the wicked wear a halo
(And the good don’t get to know)

Pull back the curtain
(What’s that you see?)
A mess of madness
(A whole lot of depravity!)

… covered in sadness…

[Verse 1]
There’s a shadow in the mirror
With a smile that doesn’t fit
There’s a promise on the table
And a thief who’s sitting with it

There’s a handshake hiding poison
There’s a contract hiding lies
There’s a thousand little victims
And a million alibis

Take a little bit of conscience
Throw it out the door
When you can’t feel another’s pain
You can always take some more

[Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

Lie, cheat, and steal
(All that is real)
No empathy… doesn’t feel
(Launch debauch)

[Verse 2]
Sell the truth for pocket change
Sell the future for a deal
Turn a neighbor into numbers
Turn a wound into a spiel

Make the greedy look like winners
Make the ruthless look refined
Put a price tag on compassion
Leave the human heart behind

If the people start complaining
Call their suffering a show
If the evidence gets ugly
Tell the audience to go

There’s a ladder made of broken trust
And a throne built out of fear
And the ones who climb the highest
Never seem to shed a tear

[Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

Lie, cheat, and steal
(All that is real)
No empathy… doesn’t feel
(Launch debauch)

When conscience becomes inconvenient
(Throw conscience away)
When truth becomes a liability
(Make truth obey)

When cruelty becomes business
(And greed becomes law)
When the powerful take everything
(In jaw-dropping awe)

Lie!
(That’s the ticket!)
Cheat!
(Go on, get it!)
Steal!
(What’s the deal?)

No remorse!
(Stay the course!)

Who took the money?
(Who took the cash?)
… it really isn’t funny
(Deserving of a lash)

Who told the lie?
(Money answers why)
Who gets the benefit?
(The ones up high!)

Where’s the conscience?
(Out of sight!)
Where’s the compassion?
(Left the fight!)

What happens next?
(We choose the plot!)
Debauch all?
(Or stop the rot!)

[Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

[Final Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral

Lie, cheat, and steal

Lie, cheat, and steal

[Intro]
But, but (… butter?)

Well, well, well…
What’s it gonna be?
A bigger pile of weapons…
Or your lunch for free?

You can build a bigger cannon,
You can polish up the brass,
But if everybody’s hungry,
How long’s the party gonna last?

[Verse 1]
There’s a factory on the corner
Making bullets by the ton
There’s a kid across the street
Who hasn’t eaten since the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Move it to the left
(Move it to the right)
Count the cost
(Of your fight)

[Refrain]
Guns or butter
(You better get some)
Guns or butter
(You just might get none)

Butter’s better
(Guns on the run)
Make you bitter
(Ruin the fun)

[Verse 2]
Build another battleship
Build another missile shield
Who’ll be left to pay the bill
When the hungry take the field?

[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the budget
(Raise the stakes)
Cut the table
(Who cuts the cake?)

[Refrain]
Guns or butter
(You better get some)
Guns or butter
(You just might get none)

Butter’s better
(Guns on the run)
Make you bitter
(Ruin the fun)

[Bridge – Half-time, bass and drums]
Guns might guard the border
(Guns might win a fight)
But butter feeds the children
(Each day through sthe night)

No bread, no butter
(No peace of mind)
No room at the table
(What did you find?)

A mountain of steel
(A mountain of debt)
The biggest gun in the world
Can’t be supper yet!

Guns! Guns! Guns!
(Who’s paying the bill?)
Butter! Butter!
(Who’s working the till?)

Guns! Guns! Guns!
(Shiny and new!)
Butter! Butter!
(What about you?)

What do you eat?
(Bread and butter!)
What do you need?
(Not endless slaughter!)

[Final Refrain]
Guns or butter
(You better get some)
Guns or butter
(You just might get none)

Butter’s better
(Guns on the run)
Make you bitter
(Ruin the fun)

[Outro]
Guns or butter
(It’s not just a game)
Guns or butter
(Who’s left to blame?)

Butter’s better
(When the day is done)
You can’t eat bullets
(But you can feed someone!)

But, but … butter
(Would be better)
Win the battle if you’re able…
And still lose the dinner table.

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

[Intro]
Order the drums!
(Bring up the brass!)
Another headline!
(Another pass!)

Who’s keeping score?
(There’s always more!)
And who’s supposed to answer
When the cannons roar?

[Verse 1]
There’s a man behind the podium
With a finger on the switch
He can call it peace and order
While the consequences twitch

He can dress it up in patriotism
He can wrap it in a flag
But the truth keeps coming knocking
With a body in the bag

There’s a lawyer with a question
There’s a witness with a name
There’s a mountain of excuses
And a pattern all the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Who gave the order?
(Who paid the price?)
Who counts the children?
(Who rolls the dice?)

[Refrain]
The commander
(Is a repeat offender)
Crimes of war…
(And so much more)

Bombing babies
(Starving kids)
Must have rabies
(Doin’ the devil’s bids)

Repeat offender
(Meet the people’s defender)
After all you do…
(Your dues come due)

[Verse 2]
There’s a city under rubble
There’s a mother in the dust
There’s a hospital without power
There’s a promise turned to rust

There’s a child who needs a blanket
There’s a child who needs a meal
There’s a child who needs a future
More than all that you steal

And the cameras keep on rolling
While the talking heads explain
How the people who were shattered
Are a footnote to the game

[Pre-Chorus]
Who checks the target?
(Who checks the claim?)
Who bears the burden?
(Who takes the blame?)

[Refrain]
The commander
(Is a repeat offender)
Crimes of war…
(And so much more)

Bombing babies
(Starving kids)
Must have rabies
(Doing the devil’s bids)

Repeat offender
(Meet the people’s defender)
After all you do…
(Your dues come due)

[Bridge]
No crown above the law
(No rank beyond review)
No power without limits
(No special pass for you)

[Instrumental]

Who’s accountable?
(Who’s accountable?)
Who’s untouchable?
(Nobody’s untouchable!)

Who gets justice?
(We want justice!)

[Verse 3]
The commander gives a statement
Says the mission’s justified
While the people count their losses
And the wounded try to hide

And the ones who signed the papers
And the ones who pulled the strings
May discover that accountability
Applies to powerful kings

Repeat offender!
(Answer for the record!)
Repeat offender!
(Who protects the unprotected?)
Crimes of war!
(More than anyone before)

[Final Refrain]
The commander
(Is a repeat offender)
Crimes of war…
(And so much more)

Bombing babies
(Starving kids)
Must have rabies
(Doing the devil’s bids)

[Outro]
Repeat offender
(Meet the people’s defender)
After all you do…
(Your dues come due)

Repeat offender!
(The record remembers!)
Repeat offender!
(The law still renders!)

Repeat offender!
(No throne lasts forever!)
After all you do…
(Your dues come due!)

The commander…
(Is a repeat offender)
The people…
(The children will remember)
The law…
(Must answer the call)

No one…
(No one…)
Is above it all.

About the Song
Today’s new release, “Repeat Offender,” sadly, could be about far too many people in positions of power. It was inspired by the children in Gaza, the schoolchildren at Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Hormozgan Province, Iran, and the approximately 700,000 Ukrainian children Russia claims to have taken from their homeland.

The lyrics confront the devastating human cost of war, the use of power without accountability, and the tendency to bury suffering beneath political rhetoric and military justifications. But the song also makes an important distinction: accusations must be investigated, evidence must be examined, and justice must follow the rule of law. No title, uniform, or position of authority should place anyone above accountability.

The refrain, “After all you do… your dues come due,” is a reminder that power does not erase responsibility. Children are not collateral statistics. They are human beings whose lives, families, education, and futures deserve protection.

Please listen, reflect, and share “Repeat Offender.” Speak up for children caught in conflicts they did not choose. Support credible humanitarian organizations working to protect children, provide food and medical care, reunite separated families, and document violations of international law. Demand transparency, independent investigations, and accountability for those responsible, regardless of their nationality, political affiliation, or position.

Silence makes it easier to look away. Our voices can help keep the victims visible and remind those in power that the world is watching.

[Intro]
Breaking news!
(Who’s breaking what?)
Another truth!
(Or maybe whatnot!)
The facts are facts
(Until they’re not)
Welcome to the circus
(Where the clowns call the shots!)

[Verse 1]
Wake up, check your timeline
See what everybody knows
Yet another prime time crime
Spun so the rumor grows

A rumor gets a rocket
A lie gets running shoes
And facts are in the corner
With a serious case of the blues

[Refrain]
Social truth
(Are you serious?)
Know’s no couth
(Must be delirious)

Nothing you do
(Is true)
Inflicting your insanity
(On all of humanity)

Shame, shame, shame
(You’re to blame)

[Verse 2]
You bend what is true
Till it breaks in half
Take a fact, twist it n’ spew
Turn the whole thing into laugh

Make an enemy of reason
Make a hero of deceit
Then convince the whole damn crowd
That the lies are indiscreet

[Refrain]
Social truth
(Are you serious?)
Know’s no couth
(Must be delirious)

Nothing you do
(Is true)
Inflicting your insanity
(On all of humanity)

Shame, shame, shame
(You’re to blame)

Truth is not a popularity contest
(Not a vote, not a trend)
A million people repeating a falsehood
(Doesn’t make it true in the end)

You can fool a few
(You can fool a crowd)
You can make a lie
(Sound awfully loud)

But reality keeps knocking
(At the door you barricade)
You can argue with the mirror
(But the image doesn’t fade!)

Fact check!
(What the heck?)
Double check!
(Who’s a wreck?)

Clickbait!
(Too late!)
Truth serum!
(Who can hear ’em?)

Is it factual…
(… or theatrical!)
Can you conceive
(How they believe)
Hook, line, and sinker
(Swallowed the thinker)

[Final Refrain]
Social truth
(Are you serious?)
Know’s no couth
(Must be delirious)

Nothing you do

Inflicting your insanity

[Outro]
Social truth
(Who’s keeping score?)
Social truth
(We can’t take much more!)

Shame, shame, shame
(Stop playing the game!)
Shame, shame, shame
(Truth isn’t yours to rename!)

(Are you serious?)
Social truth…
(Or just delirious?)

Jump!
(Whoa!)

Did you know…
(Here we go!)

[Verse 1]
I’m standing on the edge of a brand-new day
Got a head full of dreams and a plan underway
I might take a leap, I might lose my footing
But I’ll trust you to catch me if I start free-falling

You reach out your hand

We meet in the middle

It’s not about falling

When your batteries fade and your engine runs low
I’ll be right beside you, helping you go
You bring the rhythm, I’ll bring the beat
We’ll put a little more bounce into our feet

Pump up the power
(Pump up the pace)
Give one another
(A little more grace)

To stumble, to learn
(To change, to grow)
The higher we climb
(The better the show!)

[Refrain]
Catch me
(I’ll jump)
… and rescue you

Together “we”!
(… we’ll pump)

(Up, up, up)

(Will you be there?)
If I stumble
(Will you care?)

If we both lose our balance
(And tumble down)
We’ll find our feet
(And turn it around!)

[Verse 1]
I watched the raindrops race down the glass
Wondering how long this weather would last
The forecast said it would soon be clear
But the clouds kept gathering year after year

Just wait it out

It’ll all blow over

The timing of rainfall is getting rearranged

(Tap, tap, tap…)
(Rolling thunder…)
(Drip, drip, drip…)
(Going under…)

[Breakdown]
Passing storm…
(Or changing norm?)

Rain stops…
(Or plops?)

[Final Refrain]
Raindrops
(On the window)
Rain stops…
(When? I don’t know)

They say
(It’s a passing storm)
This way
(Feels like the new norm)

[Outro]
Raindrops
(Keep on falling)
Thunder rolls
(The water’s calling)

They say
(It’s a passing storm)
But the world outside
(Doesn’t feel the same anymore)

Drip, drip…
(Still falling)

Tap, tap…
(Still calling)

Raindrops…
(On the window)

Rain stops…
(When? I don’t know)

[Intro]
Here they come!
(Where?)
Right there!
(Where?)
Right through the walls
(Through closed doors and down the halls)

Through the ceiling
(Through the door)
Through your body
(… here come more!)

[Verse 1]
The Sun’s throwing particles across the sky
Billions of billions go racing by
No invitation, no ticket to show
They slip through the places you’ll never know

Through your head
(Through your toes)
Through your heart
(There one goes!)

No bump, no bruise
No bang, no sound
A hundred trillion
(Just passing around!)

[Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow

They’re passing right through…
(You)

[Verse 2]
They’re born in the Sun where the fusion burns
And cosmic explosions send more in turns
From distant galaxies, far beyond sight
They cross the universe at nearly light

They’re ghost-like guests
(They don’t knock)
They don’t need keys
(They don’t stop)

Matter’s a maze
(They mostly ignore)
They pass through the Earth
(And out the other door!)

[Pre-Chorus]
A hundred trillion
(Every second!)
Through your body
(You reckon?)

No collision
(No sensation)
Just a subatomic
(Transit station!)

[Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow

They’re passing right through…
(You)

[Bridge]
You think you’re solid
(Strong and dense)
A wall of matter
(With a fence)

But deep in the atoms
(There’s room to spare)
And neutrinos move
(Like they’re barely there!)

Through the planet
(Through the stone)
Through the places
(You call your own)

Most pass by
(Without a trace)
But once in a while
(They leave a case!)

[Instrumental]
(Zoom!)
(Through you!)

(Zoom!)
(Comin’ through!)

(From the Sun!)
(From a star!)

(They don’t care!)
(Where you are!)

[Breakdown]
Who’s passing through?
(Neutrinos!)

Who’s feeling it?
(No one knows!)

[Final Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow

They’re passing right through…
(You)

[Outro]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
They’re everywhere
(But hard to know)

Through your bones
(Through your shoes)
Through the Earth
(And out they cruise)

They’re passing right through…
(You!)

[Outro: Narration]
Neutrinos: The sun and cosmic events constantly blast the Earth with ghost-like particles called neutrinos. Approximately 100 trillion neutrinos pass right through your body every second without colliding with a single atom in your cells.

[Intro]
Come on!
(Come on!)
Get it started
(Keep it goin’!)

One more round
(Don’t slow down!)
Let your soul be found
(Make that sound!)

[Verse 1]
A simple spark and the whole thing’s lit
Get on the floor, let the rhythm hit
One more thought, one more idea
Keep that momentum rolling right here

Round and round, let the wheels spin
Each time we stop, we can start again
No sitting still, no calling it done
We’re just getting started, we’re having fun!

[Refrain]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Start (begin)
Keep ’em comin’
(Move it along)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Do it (again)
Keep ’em comin’
(Till we reach the dawn)

[Verse 2]
Keep the ideas coming down the line
One more connection and we’re feeling fine
Mix it, match it, let it collide
See what happens when the pieces combine

More interaction, more reaction
More of that feedback satisfaction
Add a change… get into the groove
Push it forward, keep it on the move!

[Refrain]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Start (begin)
Keep ’em comin’
(Move it along)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Do it (again)
Keep ’em comin’
(Till we reach the dawn)

[Bridge]
Keep the beat
(Keep it rollin’)
Toward complete
(Keep ’em turnin’)

Keep the sparks
(Keep ’em flyin’)
Keep the loops
(Keep replyin’)

More connections
(More interaction)
More reactions
(More amplification)

[Breakdown]
Come on!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

One more!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

Faster!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

Louder!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

Start it up!
(Begin!)

Move it on!
(Again!)

Don’t stop now!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

[Instrumental]
(Guitar keeps talkin’!)
(Organ keeps walkin’!)
(Bass keeps bumpin’!)
(Drums keep thumpin’!)

[Final Refrain]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Start (begin)
Keep ’em comin’
(Move it along)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Do it (again)
Keep ’em comin’
(Till we reach the dawn)

[Outro]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
One more time!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Round and round
(Till the sun comes on!)

Keep ’em comin’!

[Intro]
Excuse me!
(Excuse you!)
Pardon me!
(Who’s talking to who?)

Just a little interruption
(In the middle of your day)
I’ve got something to tell you
(But you might look away!)

[Verse 1]
We were busy making plans for tomorrow
While the present was filling with sorrow
We were arguing over who’s to blame
While the whole damn system was going up in flames

We were checking our phone
(Scrolling away)
While reality knocked
(We told it, “Go away!”)

[Pre-Chorus]
Tap, tap, tap
(Who’s there?)
Knock, knock, knock
(Do I care?)

A little inconvenient truth
(Interrupting your groove)
But the facts don’t wait
(For your approval to move!)

[Refrain]
Excuse me…
(Did you see:)
Reality?

Pardon me…
(I didn’t mean to interrupt)
But…
… to be abrupt
(Your hair is on fire)

Flamin’ higher
(Higher! Higher! Higher!)

[Verse 2]
You said the numbers were just a phase
A little blip in the historical haze
You said the warnings were all overblown
Then the weather came knocking that you own

The old assumptions start to crack
And reality doesn’t take them back

You can change the channel
(You can close your eyes)
Then reality comes…
(As a big surprise!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait
(What’s that smell?)
Something’s burning
(You can tell!)

No time for spin
(No time for bluff)
The truth is knocking
(And it’s knocking rough!)

[Refrain]
Excuse me…
(Did you see:)
Reality?

Pardon me…
(I didn’t mean to interrupt)
But…
… to be abrupt
(Your hair is on fire)

Flamin’ higher
(Higher! Higher! Higher!)

[Bridge]
It’s not the message
(It’s the delay)
It’s not the warning
(It’s looking away)

You can argue with the messenger
(You can call them a fool)
But the fire doesn’t care
(About your political rule)

[Breakdown]
Excuse me!
(Your hair!)

Pardon me!
(Do you care!)

I hate to interrupt
(But look above!)

That’s not a halo
(That’s combustion, love!)

Higher!
(Higher!)

Fire
(Fire!)

[Instrumental]

[Final Refrain]
Excuse me…
(Did you see:)
Reality?

Pardon me…
(I didn’t mean to interrupt)
But…
… to be abrupt
(Your hair is on fire)

[Outro]
Flamin’ higher
(Higher! Higher! Higher!)

Excuse me…
(Can’t you see)
Smokin’ up your scene…
(Isn’t a dream!)

… know what I mean?

[Instrumental: Acoustic Guitar, Piano]

[Intro]
[Low Synth Drone, Spoken Vocal, Acoustic Guitar]
Up, up, up we go…
(Where the branches sway)
Step by step, the world unfolds
(And the clouds give way)

[Verse 1]
I started out with my feet on the ground
Looking for a truth that couldn’t be found
I chased the horizon, I followed the breeze
I searched for answers in the tops of the trees

[Refrain]
I climbed up the tallest tree
(To see what I could see)
There staring right at me…
(Was my destiny)

I climbed to the mountain top
(Until the top came to a stop)
I looked out upon the scene
(… there the dream was seen)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

[Verse 2]
I thought that the summit would tell me the truth
Reveal all the secrets I’d missed in my youth
I thought that the distance would make it all clear
That the meaning of life would be waiting up here

But no golden doorway, no voice from above
Just a world full of wonder, connected by love
The rivers, the forests, the ocean, the sky
All part of a whole that no wall can divide

[Pre-Chorus]
I looked to the east
(I looked to the west)
I searched every corner
(To find what was best)

Then I stopped looking
(And opened my eyes)
The answer was there
(In the earth and the skies)

[Refrain]
I climbed up the tallest tree
(To see what I could see)
There staring right at me…
(Was my destiny)

I climbed to the mountain top
(Until the top came to a stop)
I looked out upon the scene
(… there the dream was seen)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

[Bridge]
Higher and higher
(What did I find?)
A wider horizon
(Of how to be kind)

[Instrumental: Saxophone Solo]
(Climb up!)
(Look out!)
(Open your eyes!)
(It’s all around!)

[Breakdown]
It’s right there…
(And there!)

Can you see it?
(Can you feel it?)

It’s right here…
(Can you hear!)

[Instrumental: Acoustic Guitar, Organ]

[Final Refrain]
I climbed up the tallest tree
(To see what I could see)
There staring right at me…
(Was my destiny)

I climbed to the mountain top
(Until the top came to a stop)
I looked out upon the scene
(… there the dream was seen)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

It’s right there
(In the earth and air)
It’s right here
(If we care)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

[Outro]
I climbed up…
(To see what I could see)

I looked out…
(And the world looked back at me)

No farther to go
(No higher to climb)

The love I was seeking
(Was here all the time)

It’s right there…
(Are you aware?)

… love is everywhere.
