LYRICS
I said in my head
You better look ahead
Instead of in dread
Better look ahead
Look ahead
And see what can be
Outside of my head
Far beyond me
I said in my head
Now we’re getting ahead
Beyond all the dread
Looking ahead
Head ahead
And see what can be
Outside of my head
Far beyond me
From I to where you are
Really isn’t that far

LYRICS
The mirror staring
Me right in the face
What do you think
You are doing?
So, I turned my back on
An about face
The image caring
Time I can’t trace
Before a blink
In the doing
SO, I turned it back on
An about face

LYRICS
Don’t look now
Sacred cow
Sacrifice
At least the priest may falter
Sacrificial rites
Pray the prey on the alter
Puts up a godly fight
Not again?
Pure virgin
Sacrifice
At least the priest may falter
Sacrificial rites
Pray the prey on the alter
Puts up a godly fight
Thus began
All human
Sacrifice
At least the priest may falter
Sacrificial rites
Pray the prey on the alter
Puts up a godly fight

LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
Stop the bleed
If the deed you did comes last
The flipside’s in reverse
Flying by in a lifetime
If you fall off of the horse
Stay the course
If you give and give some more
A slice of heaven is in store
Dying to get by…
… in a lifetime

LYRICS
The house is in disarray
What else can I say?
Said my brain is in decay
I might be on my way….
My thought caught
The last train
My mind
Doesn’t seem to mind
A train of thought
Off-track
There ain’t no thinking back
In a situation
Of a train having left the station
there she goes
Listen as the whistle blows

LYRICS
One thing’s for sure
There’s going to be some more
We’ve come this far
To get where we are
Time to bring this place alive
Shift into overdrive
Instilled in the thrill to live
How much can we give?

LYRICS
Can you come out
Can I go out
Can we head out today
The question
Can we get far away
Suggestion
Forget position anyway
Can you come in
Can I go in
Can we join in today
The question
Can we get close and stay
Suggestion
Forget position anyway

LYRICS
Won’t sit with my head
In my hands
I’m going to stand
With hands in the air
Aware
Needle needs thread
We all need love
Sow our thread
Sow our love
Won’t sit with my head
In my hands
I’m going to stand
With hands in the air
Aware
Fish needs water
We all need love
Sons and daughters
Sowed our love
Won’t sit with my head
In my hands
I’m going to stand
With hands in the air
Aware
North needs South
We all need love
So goes our wealth
Sow goes our love

LYRICS
All the days and all the nights
We can stand the weather
All the ways, the rights, the wrongs
We can stand together
Come sit close and hear a tale
Of a midnight fantasy
Get your dose of cheer and ale
An insight of what’s to be
See what will be
Of you and me
All the days and all the nights
We can stand the weather
All the ways, the rights, the wrongs
We can stand together
The tale of male and female
It’s a tragic comedy
On their quest to lose their tail
It’s misplaced humanity

LYRICS
Can you hear singing?
Can you hear singing?
Can you hear singing songs?
Bring it on
Bring it strong
Make it last
All night long
Can you hear singing?
Can you hear singing?
Can you hear singing songs?
Use our lungs
Can’t go wrong
Let it blast
All night long
Can you hear singing?
Can you hear singing?
Can you hear singing songs?
Sing along
Sing-a-long
Time will pass
All night long

LYRICS
Here I am
Think I can
Be human?
Think I can
Be human
Once again?
What’s your stance
Do you only live once
Or get a second chance
Born to die
Tell me why
I will try
In time I’m
Tryin’ for two
How ’bout you?
Here I am
Think I can
Be human?
Think I can
Be human
Once again?

LYRICS
One size fits all
After the fall
The short, the tall
Same after all
First is last
Last is first
Ahhh at last
Quenched thirst
One and the same
Lion’s now tame
It’s a new game
One and the same
First is last
Last is first
Ahhh at last
Quenched thirst

Verify I am I
Who are you?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
On the right route
Enroute of roots
In the folly of do or die

LYRICS
Lost in thought
Soul’s been bought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Bought and sold
Story’s old
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Wisdom sought
Not or ought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought

LYRICS
Exit is the way to get back in
From where you leave
Is where you go
Exit is the way to get back in
The moment you leave
You begin
From when you leave
You come to know
The past you weave
The future show
The door swings both ways
In or out decays
Consider in the stays
How to spend the day?
