\"This<\/p>\n

This Is….<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This Is….<\/a><\/p>\n

This Is….<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThis is the moment
\n(Right here and now)
\nNot yesterday
\n(Not somehow)<\/p>\n

Right this second
\n(Becoming history)
\nWriting tomorrow
\n(As memory)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Yes, it is)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Before turning to was)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Still alive)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Our chance to decide)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Yes, it is)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Before turning to was)<\/p>\n

Why?
\n(Because)
\nWhy now? \u2026 have you forgot
\n(Because now\u2019s all we\u2019ve got)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThis heartbeat
\n(Counts as one)
\nAnd the ending
\n(Began undone)<\/p>\n

Does your choice
\n(Leave its trace)
\nDoes your step
\n(Finds its place)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSoon becomes later
\n(Now becomes then)
\nQuestions become
\n(Answers again)<\/p>\n

Hold this moment
\n(While it lasts)
\nThe future arrives\u2026
\n(Then joins the past)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Yes, it is)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Before turning to was)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(The story we write)
\nOne more day
\n(One more night)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Yes, it is)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Before turning to was)<\/p>\n

Why?
\n(Because)<\/p>\n

Why wait?
\n(Because this is\u2026 now)
\nDon\u2019t forget how<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Yes, it is)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Until it becomes\u2026 was)<\/p>\n

Insane<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWe were in sane\u2026
\n(But now\u2026 somehow)
\nWe\u2019ve moved into insane<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCrossed the line
\n(One step at a time)
\nLost the map
\n(Believing we\u2019re fine)<\/p>\n

Bent the truth
\n(Just a little more)
\nTill nobody knew
\n(What truth was for)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\nWill we remain?<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\nWhat we became<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\nWho\u2019ll take the blame?<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nNormal shifted
\n(Without a sound)
\nHigher walls
\n(Lower ground)<\/p>\n

Another warning
\n(Called a lie)
\nAnother answer
\n(Asked us why)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nRound and round
\n(The spiral goes)
\nHow it ends\u2026
\n(Nobody knows)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWe called it progress
\n(Without restraint)
\nPainted over
\n(The cracks with paint)<\/p>\n

One more step
\n(One more excuse)
\nOne more reason
\n(To light the fuse)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Synth Arpeggio]
\n[Guitar Solo]<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIn sane\u2026
\n(We had a choice)
\nInsane\u2026
\n(We lost our voice)<\/p>\n

In sane\u2026
\n(We knew the way)
\nInsane\u2026
\n(We looked away)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Insane!)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Insane!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\nWill we remain?<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\nOr can we change?<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Insane!)
\n\u2026 rearrange<\/p>\n

Until we choose\u2026
\n(To be in sane)
\n\u2026 we\u2019re gonna lose<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n(Out of in sane)
\nIn insane<\/p>\n

History in the Making<\/h2>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(History in the making)
\nIt is\u2026
\n(Too late for faking)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe next breath
\n(Becomes a trace)
\nThe next step
\n(Fixes its place)<\/p>\n

The next word
\n(That leaves your tongue)
\nAlready echoes
\n(When it\u2019s done)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re writing lines
\n(Without a pen)
\nThat we\u2019ll look back on
\n(Once again)<\/p>\n

And wonder how
\n(It came to be)
\nThis moment now
\n(Becoming memory)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(History in the making)
\nIt is\u2026
\n(Too late for faking)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Not just a phase)
\nIt is\u2026
\n(The shape of our days)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe quiet shift
\n(The turning tide)
\nThe things we know
\n(We cannot hide)<\/p>\n

The choices made
\n(Without return)
\nThe lessons lost
\n(Before we learn)<\/p>\n

Each small event
\n(A turning page)
\nA silent script
\n(On a larger stage)<\/p>\n

We act it out
\n(Then understand)
\nWe were part of
\n(Something unplanned)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThis is the moment
\n(That defines the arc)
\nA spark in motion
\n(Against the dark)<\/p>\n

No rehearsal
\n(No second try)
\nJust now unfolding
\n(Before goodbye)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAnd futures form
\n(In what we do)
\nNot far away
\n(But breaking through)<\/p>\n

The present tense
\n(Already gone)
\nBecomes the story
\n(We move upon)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(History in the making)
\nIt is\u2026
\n(Too late for faking)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Already written)
\nIt is\u2026
\n(Already given)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSo hold it close
\n(And let it go)
\nThat\u2019s how it lives
\n(And how we know)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(History in the making)<\/p>\n

So Hot<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStep outside
\n(Feel it rise)
\nLook around
\n(Real surprise)<\/p>\n

Air is thick
\n(Hard to breathe)
\nSomething new
\n(We all perceive)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nIt used to be
\n(A mild July)
\nNow the heat
\n(Doesn\u2019t ask why)<\/p>\n

Days stretch long
\n(And nights don\u2019t fool)
\nBreaking rules
\n(Of what was \u201cnormal\u201d cool)<\/p>\n

We measure highs
\n(Then break again)
\nLike records falling
\n(With no end)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat is this?
\n(This is\u2026)
\nSo hot
\n(Believe it or not)<\/p>\n

Record breaking
\n(Breath taking)
\nThe system
\n(Shaking, waking)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nConcrete stores
\n(The sun all day)
\nGives it back
\n(Without delay)<\/p>\n

Cities shimmer
\n(In wavering air)
\nHeat won\u2019t leave
\n(It just stays there)<\/p>\n

And bodies learn
\n(Too slow, too fast)
\nThis new normal
\n(Doesn\u2019t last)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSo hot
\n(It won\u2019t stop)
\nNo relief
\n(From the top)<\/p>\n

Every year
\n(Climbing more)
\nLike we\u2019ve never
\n(Felt this before)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWe used to think
\n(It would stay)
\nWithin bounds
\n(Day by day)<\/p>\n

But boundaries shift
\n(And break apart)
\nWhen heat becomes
\n(A baseline chart)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhat is this?
\n(This is\u2026)
\nSo hot
\n(Believe it or not)<\/p>\n

Record breaking
\n(Breath taking)
\nFuture bending
\n(Never ending)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nStep outside
\n(Feel it rise)
\nLook around
\n(Burning skies)<\/p>\n

Getting Better<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nHere we go
\n(Ready now)
\nTake a chance
\n(Show us how)<\/p>\n

Raise your voice
\n(Loud and clear)
\nThe future\u2019s calling
\n(It\u2019s right here)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOne more step
\n(Down the road)
\nShare the load
\n(Lighten the load)<\/p>\n

Lift your eyes
\n(To the sky)
\nDream a little
\n(Aim up high)<\/p>\n

What grows
\n(Standing still?)
\nLife rewards
\n(Strength of will)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nOh, wow
\n(Now)
\nThis is getting better
\n(Somehow)
\nGo! Go getter
\n(Don\u2019t slow down)
\nTurn that smile
\n(Around this town)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nGetting better
\n(Day by day)
\nFinding hope
\n(Along the way)<\/p>\n

Keep believing
\n(Hold on tight)
\nHeading toward
\n(A brighter light)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTry again
\n(One more time)
\nTurn the page
\n(Start the climb)<\/p>\n

Laugh out loud
\n(Share the fun)
\nAnother race
\n(Has begun)<\/p>\n

Open doors
\n(Open minds)
\nLeave old doubts
\n(Far behind)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhat\u2019s ahead
\n(Who can say)
\nStill there\u2019s joy
\n(On the way)<\/p>\n

Take the moment
\n(Make it count)
\nWatch the little victories
\n(Start to mount)<\/p>\n

[Guitar Solo]<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nOh, wow
\n(Now)
\nThis is getting better
\n(Somehow)
\nGo! Go getter
\n(Lead the way)
\nNothing\u2019s stopping
\n(Us today)
\nSay:
\n(Nothing\u2019s stopping)
\nUs today<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSing along
\n(Strong and loud)
\nStand together
\n(With the crowd)<\/p>\n

Getting better
\n(Somehow)
\nGetting better\u2026
\n(Right now)<\/p>\n

Amazing<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWake up
\n(To the light)
\nOpen your eyes
\n(What a sight)<\/p>\n

Take a breath
\n(Breathe it in)
\nLet the morning
\n(Begin)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nClouds may gather
\n(Then depart)
\nHope can find
\n(A willing heart)<\/p>\n

Simple moments
\n(Quiet grace)
\nLeave a smile
\n(On your face)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nHey!
\n(Say:)
\nThis is amazing<\/p>\n

Hey!
\n(Amazing)
\nDay
\n(A point worth raising)<\/p>\n

Sing it loud
\n(Celebrating)
\nLife itself
\n(Is worth embracing)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAmazing
\n(What we find)
\nWhen we open
\n(Heart and mind)<\/p>\n

Hand in hand
\n(Side by side)
\nSharing joy
\n(Far and wide)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLend a hand
\n(Share a smile)
\nWalk together
\n(For a while)<\/p>\n

Lift someone
\n(Who feels low)
\nWatch compassion
\n(Start to grow)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWho of us
\n(Stands alone)
\nLove can make
\n(A house a home)<\/p>\n

Small acts shine
\n(Like the sun)
\nLighting paths
\n(For everyone)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nHey!
\n(Say:)
\nThis is amazing
\nHey!
\n(Amazing)
\nDay
\n(A point worth raising)<\/p>\n

Hope is calling
\n(Celebrating)
\nLove is always
\n(Worth creating)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOne more song
\n(One more smile)
\nStay together
\n(All the while)<\/p>\n

Amazing\u2026
\n(Amazing)<\/p>\n

Hey! Say:
\n(Amazing)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStep to the rhythm
\n(Feel the beat!)

Long Do-Due La La Song

\nLong Do-Due La La Song
\n(Aware\u2026 we\u2019re comin\u2019 on strong!)
\nAlmost there\u2026
\n(We\u2019re comin\u2019 on strong!)
\nComin\u2019 on strong!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTurn it higher
\n(Let it ring!)
\nTurn the corner
\n(Start to sing!)<\/p>\n

Voices rising
\n(One by one)
\nUntil the chorus
\n(Outruns the sun!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nSong Do-Due La La Along
\n(Come on! Sing along!)
\nSong Do-Due La La Along
\n(We knew it all along!)<\/p>\n

\nLong Do-Due La La Song
\n(Where we all belong!)
\nAlmost there\u2026
\n(We all belong!)
\n\u2026 in song!<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIf you lose your way
\n(Find the tone)
\nYou\u2019re never really
\n(Singing alone)<\/p>\n

Just one spark
\n(Becomes a flame)
\nAnd suddenly
\n(We\u2019re in the same!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain \u2013 key change]
\nSong Do-Due La La Along

Do-due la la\u2026
\n(Sing along!)<\/p>\n

Fade out slow\u2026
\n(Still going strong!)<\/p>\n

I Dunno<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat\u2019s that sound?
\n(Turn it up!)
\nWho\u2019s around?
\n(Let\u2019s erupt!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHow\u2019d we get here?
\n(I dunno)
\nWhere we headed?
\n(I dunno)<\/p>\n

One more question
\n(I dunno)
\nOne more answer
\n(Here we go!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat is this?
\n(This is\u2026)
\nI dunno
\n(Sooo\u2026.)<\/p>\n

Go!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSo you\u2019ve\u2026
\n(Got a view)
\nThat you\u2019re\u2026
\n(Calling true)<\/p>\n

Sometimes maybe
\n(You don\u2019t know)
\nThat\u2019s the place
\n(Where learning grows)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nGuessing loudly
\n(Isn\u2019t proof)
\nChanging minds
\n(Is the truth)<\/p>\n

Ask again
\n(Let it show)
\nIf you don\u2019t know\u2026
\n(Say so!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat is this?
\n(This is\u2026)
\nI dunno
\n(Sooo\u2026.)<\/p>\n

Go!<\/p>\n

What comes next?
\n(Let\u2019s explore!)
\nOne more step
\n(Then one more!)<\/p>\n

Go for!<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhat is this?
\n(This is\u2026)
\nI dunno
\n(Sooo\u2026.)<\/p>\n

Go!<\/p>\n

Keep on asking
\n(Don\u2019t stop!)
\nKeep on learning
\n(To the top!)<\/p>\n

Go!<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nI dunno\u2026
\n(Not yet)
\nI dunno\u2026
\n(Not yet)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out!
\nGo about!<\/p>\n

Extreme<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nOff the chart
\n(Off the scale)
\nBreaking records
\n(Without fail)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOnce in a lifetime
\n(That\u2019s what they\u2019d say)
\nNow it happens
\n(Day after day)<\/p>\n

Higher highs
\n(Lower lows)
\nHow far it goes
\n(Nobody knows)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is extreme
\n(Know what I mean)
\nWell beyond the mean
\n(Extreme!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHeat that lingers
\n(Rain that pours)
\nFloods that follow
\n(Long dry wars)<\/p>\n

One more record
\n(Falls away)
\nYesterday\u2019s rare
\n(Is here today)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe bell curve bends
\n(Into the tail)
\nOld predictions
\n(Begin to fail)<\/p>\n

What was unlikely
\n(Starts to repeat)
\nHistory\u2019s average
\n(Can\u2019t compete)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is extreme
\n(Know what I mean)
\nWell beyond the mean
\n(Extreme!)<\/p>\n

This is no dream
\n(It\u2019s on the scene)
\nBeyond the mean
\n(Extreme!)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nFurther and further
\n(From yesterday)
\nFarther from normal
\n(Day by day)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis is extreme
\n(Know what I mean)
\nWell beyond the mean
\n(Extreme!)<\/p>\n

Watch the trend
\n(Begin to lean)
\nToward the edges
\n(Of the unseen)<\/p>\n

Extreme!
\n(Extreme!)<\/p>\n

Extreme!
\n(Beyond the mean!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nPast the line
\n(Past routine)
\nWelcome to
\n(The new extreme)<\/p>\n

Farabout<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nHow far?
\n(Farabout)
\nWhere to now?
\n(We\u2019ll figure it out)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat\u2019s farabout
\n(We\u2019re about to find out)
\n\u2026 all about\u2026
\n(Far, far, far)
\nOut<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOne more mile beyond the bend
\nOne more trail that doesn\u2019t end
\nMaps can only point the way
\nFeet decide where we\u2019ll stray<\/p>\n

Round the corner, over there
\nPast the places everywhere
\nEvery question starts a route
\nLeading farther\u2026 farabout<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nKeep on going
\n(Don\u2019t turn back)
\nWill the journey
\n(Leave a track)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nHow far can we go?
\n(Farther still)
\nWhat do we know?
\n(Learn we will)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s farabout
\n(We\u2019re about to find out)
\n\u2026 all about\u2026
\n(Far, far, far)
\nOut<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTake the long way if you choose
\nSometimes that\u2019s the path you use
\nAnother detour, another turn
\nHolds one more chance to learn<\/p>\n

Beyond the edge, beyond the known
\nFind a place to call your own
\nEvery winding roundabout
\nMay become a farabout<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFar away
\n(Close at hand)
\nHelps us stand
\n(Understand?)<\/p>\n

When the ending
\n(Begins anew)
\nThe farther out\u2026
\n(The wider view)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nHow far can we go?
\n(Farther still)
\nWhat do we know?
\n(Learn we will)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s farabout
\n(We\u2019re about to find out)
\n\u2026 all about\u2026
\n(Far, far, far)
\nOut<\/p>\n

Bliss?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Blissless)
\nThis is\u2026<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Bliss?)
\nNo! Ignorance
\n(Amiss)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWe name the shape of drifting air
\nAnd swear we saw it standing there
\nA feeling caught but never held
\nA truth half-born but never spelled<\/p>\n

The mind leans hard on fragile ground
\nWhere certainty is never found
\nYet still we build what we believe
\nFrom echoes that we can\u2019t retrieve<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIs it calm or just delay?
\nA thought that won\u2019t quite go away?
\nA silence dressed in borrowed light
\nThat fades before it feels quite right<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSo what do we call it when it feels this light?
\n(When wrong feels wrong but it still feels right?)
\nA borrowed name for something wide
\n(We try to hold but slips aside)<\/p>\n

Is it bliss or just the spin
\n(Of everything we\u2019re living in?)
\nWe name it fast so we can move along
\n(But the meaning feels half gone)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Bliss?)
\nNo! Ignorance
\n(Amiss)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWe carve our truth yet don\u2019t understand
\nWith trembling voice and half-formed plan
\nAn answer breaks before it\u2019s whole
\nAs certainty dissolves the soul<\/p>\n

A language built to hold the frame
\nBut little ever stays the same
\nWe call it order, call it sense
\nBut meaning lives in consequence<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe bliss is just a pause
\nBetween effect and cause
\nA breath that never knows its name
\nBefore it slips back into flame<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nSo what do we call it when it feels this light?
\n(When wrong feels wrong but it still feels right?)
\nA fleeting state we can\u2019t define
\n(A boundary without a line)<\/p>\n

Is it bliss or just the spin
\n(Of everything we\u2019re living in?)
\nWe name it fast so we can move along
\n(But the meaning is gone)<\/p>\n

[Refrain \u2013 Outro Variation]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Bliss?)
\nNo\u2026
\nAmiss\u2026<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Bliss?)
\nNo\u2026
\nAmiss\u2026<\/p>\n

Exactly<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nThis is what?
\n(Exactly)
\nImagine that
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nStarting the quiz:
\n(What is this?)
\nThis is what?
\n(Exactly)
\nImagine that
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDoes the answer start a trail
\nSome prevail and some derail
\nAnother label, another name
\nPoints toward\u2014but\u2019s not the same<\/p>\n

Questions shape the things we know
\nFurther still we\u2019ve yet to go
\nPiece by piece the picture grows
\nOnly after asking \u201cthose?\u201d<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLook again
\n(Take your time)
\nEvery clue
\n(Fits the rhyme)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhat do you see?
\n(Reality)
\nWhat could it be?
\n(Wait and see)
\nLook a little closer now
\n(The answer\u2019s here somehow)<\/p>\n

This is what?
\n(Exactly)
\nImagine that
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFacts can hide in plainest sight
\nWaiting for another light
\nShift your angle, change your view
\nSomething old becomes brand new<\/p>\n

Ahh\u2026 the puzzle has a key
\nHidden in simplicity
\nWhen the pieces finally click
\nThe obvious arrives so quick<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOne more guess
\n(Try again)
\nMiss the mark
\n(Now and then)
\nKeep asking why
\n(Don\u2019t pretend)
\nQuestions lead
\n(To the end)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nStarting the quiz:
\n(What is this?)
\nThis is what?
\n(Exactly)
\nImagine that
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

Open your eyes
\n(What do you see?)
\nTruth arrives
\n(Naturally)<\/p>\n

This is what?
\n(Exactly)
\nImagine that\u2026
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

Magnificent<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nTake it in\u2026
\n(Just a moment)
\nLook around\u2026
\n(At the moment)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat I meant\u2026
\n(This is magnificent)
\nAs to how it went\u2026
\n(Ah, so magnificent)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMorning breaks in shades of gold
\nStories waiting to be told
\nTiny moments, grand and small
\nHidden wonder fills them all<\/p>\n

Smiles appear on passing faces
\nHearts awaken, finding places
\nSimple things become the thread
\nThat bind the lives we\u2019ve always led<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nOpen wide
\n(Your point of view)
\nYou\u2019ll be surprised
\n(By what shines through)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMagnificent!
\n(Clear to see)
\nMagnificent!
\n(You and me)<\/p>\n

More than words can truly say
\nBrighter than yesterday
\nLife unfolds before our eyes
\nIn magnificent surprise<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nStorms may gather, skies may gray
\nStill the light can find a way
\nOne new ending plants a seed
\nFor another dream to lead<\/p>\n

Pause awhile and you may see
\nWhat was always meant to be
\nHope becomes a quiet friend
\nWhispering, \u201cThis is magnificent.\u201d<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTake it slow
\n(Breathe it in)
\nWhere we end
\n(Is where we begin)
\nSpeed it up
\n(Dream by dream)
\nMore than it first seemed<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nMagnificent!
\n(Clear to see)
\nMagnificent!
\n(You and me)<\/p>\n

What I meant\u2026
\n(This is magnificent)
\nAs to how it went\u2026
\n(Ah, so magnificent)<\/p>\n

Sing it out\u2026
\n(Magnificent!)
\nOne more time\u2026
\n(Magnificent!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhat I meant\u2026
\n(This is magnificent\u2026)
\nAh\u2026 magnificent\u2026<\/p>\n

\nFeel the dream begin to grow
\nTo the sound of rock n\u2019 roll<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFeel the beat
\n(In your heart)

Rousing Ovation<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nCan you hear it?
\n(The celebration)
\nListen close\u2026
\n(A standing ovation)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\n(This is\u2026)
\nA rousing ovation
\n(Beyond imagination)
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Gratification)
\nNo longer in\u2026
\n(Isolation)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCurtain rises, lights aglow
\nTime has come to steal the show
\nDreams once whispered now take flight
\nJoined together in the light<\/p>\n

Hands are raised, the voices soar
\nHope is louder than before
\nWhat began with just one spark
\nNow illuminates the dark<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nStand as one
\n(Side by side)
\nShare the joy
\n(Far and wide)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nHear the sound!
\n(Ringing clear)
\nFeel the crowd!
\n(We\u2019re all here!)<\/p>\n

One more song, one more refrain
\nNothing ventured was in vain
\nHearts unite in celebration
\nTo a rousing ovation<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nApplause echoes through the hall
\nLifting spirits, one and all
\nFaces glowing, eyes alight
\nTurning strangers into light<\/p>\n

One kind word can start the wave
\nOne bold voice can still be brave
\nWhen we gather, hope is found
\nIn the thunder of the sound<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRaise your hands
\n(To the sky)
\nLift your voice
\n(Hold it high)
\nShare the moment
\n(Let it ring)
\nThis is why\u2026
\n(We sing)<\/p>\n

This Ain\u2019t Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nThis ain\u2019t rock \u2018n\u2019 roll
\n(No this ain\u2019t no stroll)
\nGet ready to ride
\n(\u2026 this is genocide)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis ain\u2019t rock \u2018n\u2019 roll
\n(\u2026 this is genocide)
\nNowhere to run. Nowhere to hide
\n(Gonna take its toll)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe volume is rising
\nThe warning is clear
\nA shadow is forming
\nThat nobody hears<\/p>\n

The stage lights are fading
\nThe curtain comes down
\nA world out of balance
\nIs spinning around<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNo encore waiting
\nNo final show
\nNo easy answer
\nNo place to go<\/p>\n

The rhythm is changing
\nThe tempo is fast
\nA future is calling
\nFrom a dangerous past<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThis ain\u2019t rock \u2018n\u2019 roll
\nThis ain\u2019t a game
\nThis ain\u2019t a story
\nWith someone to blame<\/p>\n

The fire keeps burning
\nThe pressure will grow
\nA force we created
\nWe struggle to slow<\/p>\n

This ain\u2019t rock \u2018n\u2019 roll
\n(\u2026 this is genocide)
\nNowhere to run
\nNowhere to hide<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe oceans are rising
\nThe ice disappears
\nThe cost of denial
\nBecomes crystal clear<\/p>\n

The signs keep repeating
\nThe patterns align
\nThe edge is approaching
\n\u2026 runnin\u2019 out of time<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNo standing still
\nNo turning back
\nThe system responds
\nTo the attack<\/p>\n

A chain reaction
\nA runaway tide
\nThe consequences
\nWe cannot divide<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis ain\u2019t rock \u2018n\u2019 roll
\n(\u2026 this is genocide)
\nNowhere to run
\nNowhere to hide<\/p>\n

The sound of the future
\nThe end of the ride
\nThe choices we make
\nWill determine the tide<\/p>\n

This ain\u2019t rock \u2018n\u2019 roll
\n(No this ain\u2019t no stroll)
\nGet ready to ride
\n(\u2026 this is genocide)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

This ain\u2019t\u2026
\n(Rock \u2018n\u2019 roll\u2026)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(\u201cPay the toll\u2026\u201d)<\/p>\n

Back, Back<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nThis step\u2026
\n(Comes back)
\nThis move\u2026
\n(Leaves a track)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\nFeedback
\n(Back, back)<\/p>\n

Stand still
\nThis will\u2026
\n(Attack)
\nAck, ack\u2026
\n(Back, back)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA single action has reaction
\nA spark can start a chain
\nA change creates a motion
\nA cycle comes again<\/p>\n

A word that has been spoken
\nA choice that has been made
\nA promise left unbroken
\nLeaves a mark that will remain<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThe loop keeps turning round
\nA wave returns its sound
\nThe force that we create
\nFinds a path that won\u2019t escape<\/p>\n

A push and then a pull
\nAn empty space gets full
\nAn ending meets a start
\nLeaving rhythm in the heart<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA system finds its balance
\nA balance breaks away
\nA pattern shows its weakness
\nA future finds its way<\/p>\n

A moment builds another
\nA cause creates effect
\nA signal finds its sender
\nA path returns direct<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThis time
\n(All aware)
\nThis line
\n(Leads us there)<\/p>\n

An echo, a sound
\nAn answer comes back around<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\nFeedback
\n(Back, back)<\/p>\n

Stand still
\nThis will\u2026
\n(Attack)
\nAck, ack\u2026
\n(Back, back)<\/p>\n

A step away\u2026
\n(Back, back)
\nA track returns\u2026
\n(Comes back)<\/p>\n

A force we send away
\nFinds another route someday<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBack\u2026
\nBack\u2026
\nBack\u2026
\n(Back, back)<\/p>\n

Black and White<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat do you see?
\n(What is clear)
\nWhat will it be?
\n(The answer\u2019s here)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Black and white)
\nWrong and right<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\nYes or no
\n(Now we know)<\/p>\n

\u2026 here we go!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nLines are drawn across the page
\nTruth is tested, age by age
\nDoes the choice become a sign
\nDoes the moment draw a line<\/p>\n

Left or right, up or down
\nLost or found, smile or frown
\nSimple answers fill the space
\nBut shades remain behind the face<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nCan we see beyond the frame?
\nCan we question another name?
\nWhen the colors start to blend
\nWhere does certainty begin or end?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBlack and white
\n(Day and night)
\nDark and light
\n(What is right?)<\/p>\n

Black and white
\n(Separate)
\nWrong and right
\n(We debate)<\/p>\n

But the world keeps moving on
\nBefore the final answer\u2019s drawn<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWe want a world that\u2019s easy to see
\nA perfect line of certainty
\nBut every question, every choice
\nCarries more than one voice<\/p>\n

A simple word, a simple claim
\nCan hide a complicated game
\nThe closer that we look inside
\nThe more the edges start to divide<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTruth is not a wall
\nTruth answers the call<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Black and white)
\nWrong and right<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\nYes or no
\n(Now we know)<\/p>\n

But between the dark and light
\nThere are colors out of sight<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Black and white)
\nA place to start<\/p>\n

Wrong and right
\n(Heart to heart)<\/p>\n

\u2026 here we go!<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Black and white)
\nWrong and right<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\nYes or no
\n(Now we know)<\/p>\n

\u2026 here we go!<\/p>\n

Wild<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nSomething changed
\n(Out of range)
\nSomething broke
\n(That\u2019s no joke)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is wild
\n(No longer mild)
\nAll broke loose
\n(\u2026 gone obtuse)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nUsed to walk a steady line
\nThought we knew the signs of time
\nThe rule we thought we knew
\nStarted bending into two<\/p>\n

Quiet moments turned extreme
\nNo longer quite the way it seemed
\nWhen the edges disappear
\nChaos suddenly appears<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHold on tight
\n(Feel the shift)
\nDay turns night
\n(Watch it drift)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThis is wild
\n(No longer mild)
\nSomething\u2019s changed
\n(Out of range)<\/p>\n

Running faster
\n(After faster)
\nBreaking through
\n(What we knew)<\/p>\n

No more waiting
\n(No debating)
\nThe world has filed
\nUnderneath\u2026
\n(Wild)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWatch the signal start to flare
\nSomething different fills the air
\nPatterns shifting, systems sway
\nNot much holds the old way<\/p>\n

From the ground beneath our feet
\nTo the storms we cannot beat
\nThe boundary we defined
\nLeaves another one behind<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot insane
\n(Just extreme)
\nNot a dream
\n(But a theme)<\/p>\n

When the calm becomes the storm
\n(When the strange becomes the norm)
\nCan we see
\n(Can we find)
\nWhat\u2019s ahead
\n(What\u2019s behind)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis is wild
\n(No longer mild)
\nAll broke loose
\n(\u2026 gone obtuse)<\/p>\n

No return
\n(Watch it burn)
\nNo excuse
\n(For the truth)<\/p>\n

What we called impossible
\nHas become undeniable
\nThe world has compiled
\nA brand-new file\u2026<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWild\u2026
\n(Wild\u2026)
\nNo longer mild.<\/p>\n

Life as We Know It<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhere do we go?
\n(What will we find?)
\nWhat do we know?
\n(Leave it behind)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\n(This is\u2026)
\nLife as we know it
\n(Make a wish)
\nDream\u2026 bestow it<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMake a moment, every day
\nFind a different kind of way
\nLittle choices, little signs
\nShape the stories between the lines<\/p>\n

Yesterday becomes a trace
\nTomorrow waits in open space
\nTake a breath\u2026 enjoy the view
\nCreate the world we travel through<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHold the light
\n(Through the night)
\nKeep the dream
\n(Within sight)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLife as we know it
\n(Here and now)
\nWhere we go
\n(We will find out how)<\/p>\n

Take the chance
\n(Let it grow)
\nMake the wish
\n(Let it show)<\/p>\n

Life as we know it
\n(As we know it)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTime keeps moving, never still
\nChanging valleys, changing hills
\nWhat we lose and what we gain
\nBecome chapters in the same<\/p>\n

Through the questions, through the doubt
\nFind the way to work it out
\nAs the ending starts again
\nFeeling loss become a friend<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhat is real?
\n(What is true?)
\nWhat remains?
\n(What we do)<\/p>\n

Dreams are seeds
\n(That we plant)
\nHope is more
\n(Than what we can\u2019t)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nLife as we know it
\n(Here and now)
\nMake a wish
\n(Show us how)<\/p>\n

Dream\u2026 bestow it
\n(Let it rise)
\nOpen hearts
\n(Open eyes)<\/p>\n

In the moment, be the story
\nOut of shadows, into glory
\nLife as we know it
\n(Is how we show it)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n(This is\u2026)
\nLife as we know it\u2026
\n(Make a wish\u2026)
\nDream\u2026 bestow it.<\/p>\n

In a Fog<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nCan you see?
\n(Not really)
\nWhich way now?
\n(Don\u2019t ask how)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nHere we are
\n(Standing in a fog)
\nCan\u2019t go far
\n(Could turn to a clog)<\/p>\n

Best stand still
\n(No freewill)
\nIn a haze
\n(In a daze)
\nFor days and days and days<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nAll the landmarks fade away
\nNight and morning look the same
\nDare not step\u2026 full of doubt
\nHard to know the in from out<\/p>\n

Voices echo through the gray
\nThen dissolve and drift away
\nWhat\u2019s ahead and what\u2019s behind
\nDisappear from sight and mind<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTake it slow
\n(Don\u2019t rush through)
\nWhat you know
\n(May not be true)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIn a fog
\n(Can\u2019t make out)
\nWhat\u2019s the answer
\n(What\u2019s the route)<\/p>\n

Standing still
\n(Waiting here)
\nShapes emerge
\n(Then disappear)<\/p>\n

Best stand still
\n(No freewill)
\nIn a haze
\n(In a daze)
\nFor days and days and days<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nIs the sunlight just ahead
\nMaybe not, the old man said
\nWill the roads reappear
\nOr will all remain unclear<\/p>\n

Sometimes waiting is the way
\nTill the mist begins to sway
\nTill the outlines come in view
\nAnd the world feels fresh and new<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCan\u2019t see left
\n(Can\u2019t see right)
\nCan\u2019t tell dark
\n(From the light)<\/p>\n

Take a breath
\n(Stand your ground)
\nIn the quiet
\n(Listen around)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nHere we are
\n(Standing in a fog)
\nCan\u2019t go far
\n(Could turn to a clog)<\/p>\n

Best stand still
\n(No freewill)
\nIn a haze
\n(In a daze)
\nFor days and days and days<\/p>\n

Then one beam
\n(Cuts the gray)
\nAnd the fog
\n(Drifts away)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nIn a haze\u2026
\n(In a daze\u2026)
\nFor days\u2026 and days\u2026 and days\u2026
\n(Now finding ways)<\/p>\n

Whoa Woe Oh Ya<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhoa!
\n(Wait a minute)
\nWoe!
\n(Leave it in it)<\/p>\n

Something\u2019s changing
\n(Feel the flow)
\nSomething\u2019s moving
\n(Here we go)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhoa! Woe.
\n(Oh yeah)
\nKnow no
\n(No more woe)
\n\u2026 here we go!
\n(Oh yeah)<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, yeah<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStarted with a little spark
\nA tiny light inside the dark
\nThought the road was running slow
\nThen the rhythm started to grow<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nRaise it up
\n(Feel the sound)
\nTurn it loose
\n(Spin around)<\/p>\n

No more waiting
\n(No delay)
\nFind the groove
\n(Find the way)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhoa! Woe!
\n(What\u2019s the story?)
\nOh yeah!
\n(Find the glory)<\/p>\n

No more doubt
\n(No more fear)
\nTurn it up
\n(The coast is clear)<\/p>\n

Whoa! Woe!
\n(Let it go)
\nOh ya!
\n(Feel the flow)<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, yeah
\nHere we go!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLife can throw a crooked ball
\nMake you question after all
\nBut the answer isn\u2019t found
\nBy just staring at the ground<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhoa!
\n(Do you feel it?)
\nWoe!
\n(You can heal it)<\/p>\n

Know no
\n(No more sorrow)
\nNew day
\n(Starts tomorrow)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhoa! Woe.
\n(Oh yeah)
\nKnow no
\n(No more woe)
\n\u2026 here we go!
\n(Oh yeah)<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, yeah<\/p>\n

Whoa!
\n(Oh yeah)
\nWoe!
\n(Let it go)<\/p>\n

No more woe
\n(Here we go)<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, yeah!<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhoa!
\nOh yeah!
\nHere we go!
\nYeah, yeah, yeah\u2026<\/p>\n

Turned Was<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat is now\u2026
\n(Becomes then)
\nRound and round\u2026
\n(Again and again)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Turned was)
\nBecause\u2026<\/p>\n

Time waits for no one
\n(Know one)
\nThen\u2026.
\n(It\u2019s done)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nAnother second slips away
\nTurns tomorrow into yesterday
\nThe very moment, bright and new
\nSoon becomes a distant view<\/p>\n

What we hold begins to pass
\nPresent turns to former glass
\nTry to stop it if you can
\nTime ignores the best of plans<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHere and now
\n(Watch it go)
\nSoon enough
\n(You will know)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThis is now
\n(Turned was)
\nEvery cause
\n(Because)<\/p>\n

What arrives
\n(Will depart)
\nWhat begins
\n(Is the start)<\/p>\n

Time waits for no one
\n(Know one)
\nThen\u2026
\n(It\u2019s done)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nPhotographs and memories
\nEcho former certainties
\nPlaces change and people too
\nWhat can stay the way it grew?<\/p>\n

All the laughter, all the tears
\nBlend together through the years
\nPresent tense becomes the past
\nNothing made can last and last<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTick and tock
\n(Never cease)
\nPiece by piece
\n(Piece by piece)<\/p>\n

Watching now
\n(Become then)
\nThen becomes
\n(Once again)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Turned was)
\nBecause\u2026<\/p>\n

Time waits for no one
\n(Know one)
\nThen\u2026
\n(It\u2019s done)<\/p>\n

This is now\u2026
\n(Wow! Turned was\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThen\u2026
\n(It\u2019s done\u2026)
\nNow\u2026
\n(Turned was\u2026)<\/p>\n

Endless Consequences<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Ambient Synth Pad, Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Soft Organ Swells]
\n[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
\nOne small choice\u2026
\n(Changes things)
\nOne small stone\u2026
\n(Makes ripple rings)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWe\u2019ve got
\n(One planet)
\nAnother \u201cwhy not\u201d
\n(Couldn\u2019t plan it)<\/p>\n

\u2026 endless consequences
\n(How intricate are our dances?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDoe your action leave a trace
\nMoving through both time and space
\nDoes your answer, another guess
\nShape another consequence<\/p>\n

Pull one thread and others sway
\nNothing simply stays one way
\nTiny moments, great and small
\nCan become the rise or fall<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nRound and round
\n(Cause and effect)
\nWhat goes out
\n(Can reconnect)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOne decision
\n(Branches wide)
\nOne condition
\n(Turns the tide)<\/p>\n

Whatever we say and do
\nCan find another avenue
\nPaths converge and then expand
\nFar beyond what we had planned<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got
\n(One planet)
\nAnother \u201cwhy not\u201d
\n(Couldn\u2019t plan it)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Percussive Piano, Rising Synth]<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAs the system intertwines
\nHidden links and tangled lines
\nWhat seems distant, what seems small
\nMay affect us after all<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Saxophone Solo]<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWe\u2019ve got
\n(One planet)
\nAnother \u201cwhy not\u201d
\n(Couldn\u2019t plan it)<\/p>\n

\u2026 endless consequences
\n(How intricate are our dances?)<\/p>\n

Step by step
\n(Turn by turn)
\nLesson by lesson
\n(We slowly learn)<\/p>\n

The thing that connects somehow
\nThrough tomorrow and through now
\nWe\u2019ve got one world to understand
\nAnd consequences we never planned<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Sustained Organ, Fading Synth Atmosphere, Deep Bass Pulse]
\nEndless consequences\u2026
\n(How intricate are our dances?)<\/p>\n

One planet\u2026
\n(One chance\u2026)
\nOne last dance<\/p>\n

About the Song<\/p>\n

1) One Planet. One Water Cycle. Endless Consequences.<\/h2>\n

Violent rain events are the definitive new climate reality, as rising global temperatures directly alter how, when, and where water falls. Across the world, scientists report that while total annual precipitation may change gradually, the intensity and frequency of extreme downpours are accelerating rapidly. This shift is transforming gentle, localized rain into destructive, high-volume torrents capable of overwhelming modern infrastructure in minutes.<\/p>\n

Hydroclimatic whiplash is rapidly shifting regions between drought and deluge, while atmospheric rivers are transporting unprecedented amounts of moisture deep into continental interiors.<\/p>\n

Extreme Impacts:<\/strong> Extreme Weather Events<\/a> | Violent Rain<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Climate Change Is Disrupting the Biology of Life<\/h2>\n

Climate change is not just changing the planet\u2014it is changing us. Extreme heat, shifting seasons, storms, and pollution are disrupting our circadian rhythms, damaging sleep, altering the gut microbiome, and destabilizing the gut-brain axis.<\/p>\n

Protecting the climate means protecting the systems that keep us alive.<\/p>\n

Getting Close<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nAlmost there\u2026
\n(Or maybe not)
\nNear enough\u2026
\n(We\u2019ve got a shot)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWho knows\u2026
\n(If this is getting close)
\nWe\u2019ll\u2026 here goes
\n(For another dose)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSo the answer starts as guess
\nSome bring more and some bring less
\nAnother step reveals a clue
\nThen another point of view<\/p>\n

Little by little, inch by inch
\nMoving forward, never flinch
\nWhat seemed distant yesterday
\nNow feels almost on display<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTake your time
\n(Don\u2019t rush through)
\nOne more look
\n(Might change the view)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nGetting close
\n(Or so it seems)
\nFollowing
\n(Fragments of dreams)<\/p>\n

Piece by piece
\n(Line by line)
\nSomehow things
\n(Begin to align)<\/p>\n

Who knows\u2026
\n(If this is getting close)
\nWe\u2019ll\u2026 here goes
\n(For another dose)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSometimes near is still too far
\nSometimes you\u2019ve arrived where you are
\nAs the ending starts to bend
\nToward another place again<\/p>\n

Questions lead and answers roam
\nSearching for a place called home
\nAlmost right and nearly true
\nCan still carry you on through<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot quite there
\n(But not behind)
\nEarn a turn
\n(Sharpen the mind)<\/p>\n

One more try
\n(One more clue)
\nWhat\u2019s uncertain
\n(Can break through)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nGetting close
\n(Or so it seems)
\nChasing down
\n(Half-formed dreams)<\/p>\n

Near enough
\n(To see the light)
\nFar enough
\n(To keep in sight)<\/p>\n

Who knows\u2026
\n(If this is getting close)
\nWe\u2019ll\u2026 here goes
\n(For another dose)<\/p>\n

Yeah\u2026 here goes\u2026
\n(Another dose)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWho knows\u2026
\n(Who knows\u2026)
\nMaybe we\u2019re\u2026
\n(Getting close\u2026)<\/p>\n

Expected<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nCause and effect\u2026
\n(Connect the dots)
\nOne thing leads\u2026
\n(To quite a lot)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is expected
\n(After what we\u2019ve erected)
\nDejected\u2026
\n(Being connected)
\nWe did
\n(Yes, we did)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nTiny moments, little turns
\nBecome lessons that life learns
\nBuild it up and set it free
\nWhat comes next will surely be
\nOur signal leaves a trace
\nMoving through time and space<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWhat we make
\n(Can come back)
\nWhat we send
\n(Leaves a track)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThis is expected
\n(Not disconnected)
\nOur \u201cjust\u201d cause
\n(Leaves it projected)<\/p>\n

What we sow
\n(Starts to grow)
\nWhat we choose
\n(Starts to show)<\/p>\n

This is expected
\n(After what we\u2019ve erected)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWhat happens all alone?
\nIt\u2019s the seed have sown
\nBuild a bridge or build a wall
\nConsequences reach us all
\nWhat appears from far away
\nOften comes back into play<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRound and round
\n(Here it goes)
\nWhat we plant
\n(Eventually grows)<\/p>\n

Piece by piece
\n(Line by line)
\nYesterday
\n(Becomes tomorrow\u2019s sign)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis is expected
\n(After what we\u2019ve erected)
\nDejected\u2026
\n(Being connected)
\nWe did
\n(Yes, we did)<\/p>\n

Does the ending
\n(Have a start)
\nDoes the whole
\n(Just fall apart)<\/p>\n

This is expected\u2026
\n(Not neglected)
\nEvery pathway\u2026
\n(Is connected)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWe did\u2026
\n(Yes, we did)
\nConnected\u2026
\n(Yes, we are)
\nExpected\u2026
\n(After what we\u2019ve erected)<\/p>\n

Interesting<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWell, look at this\u2026
\n(Imagine that)
\nDidn\u2019t see\u2026
\n(Where we\u2019re at)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAre you forgetting
\n(This is getting)
\n\u2026 interesting<\/p>\n

Still suggesting
\n(More ingesting)
\n\u2026 interesting<\/p>\n

Wherever you are
\n(Take in the bizarre)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe next answer spawns a few
\nQuestions fresh and questions new
\nAnother turn reveals a twist
\nThings you never thought existed<\/p>\n

Strange can suddenly appear
\nThen become familiar here
\nWhat\u2019s unusual today
\nMay become the normal way<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLean in close
\n(Don\u2019t look away)
\nKnow the oddity
\n(Has something to say)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nInteresting
\n(To say the least)
\nAs the puzzle
\n(Feeds the beast)<\/p>\n

Unfolding mystery
\n(Sets the stage)
\nTurns another
\n(Unwritten page)<\/p>\n

Are you forgetting
\n(This is getting)
\n\u2026 interesting<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTake another look around
\nWonder can be newly found
\nCurious minds tend to roam
\nMaking the unusual home<\/p>\n

Patterns hide in random things
\nMeaning often grows on wings
\nSometimes weird is simply new
\nWaiting for another view<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThat\u2019s peculiar
\n(Indeed it is)
\nThat\u2019s impossible
\n(Or maybe not)<\/p>\n

Take it in
\n(Don\u2019t resist)
\nLife can be
\n(A curious twist)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nStill suggesting
\n(More ingesting)
\n\u2026 interesting<\/p>\n

Are you forgetting
\n(This is getting)
\n\u2026 interesting<\/p>\n

Wherever you are
\n(Take in the bizarre)<\/p>\n

Open your eyes
\n(Open your mind)
\nYou never know
\n(What you may find)<\/p>\n

Understanding\u2026
\n(Interesting\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nTake in the bizarre\u2026
\n(Interesting\u2026)
\nYou\u2019ll come to know\u2026
\n(Understanding\u2026)<\/p>\n

Almost Over<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nOne more turn\u2026
\n(One more page)
\nOne more song\u2026
\n(Another stage)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Almost over)
\n\u2026 but not quite\u2026
\n(Yet)<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t forget
\n(Yet to discover)
\nTo get it right
\n(You bet)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe ending\u2019s waving from afar
\nBut we\u2019re not where the endings are
\nThere\u2019s still a road beneath our feet
\nStill a rhythm, still a beat<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAlmost over
\n(Not complete)
\nOne more chorus
\n(One more beat)<\/p>\n

Hold the moment
\n(Don\u2019t let go)
\nSomething waits
\n(Beyond what we know)<\/p>\n

This is\u2026
\n(Almost over)
\n\u2026 but not quite\u2026
\n(Yet)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWe have laughed and we have tried
\nTaken a wild n\u2019 winding ride
\nLost our way and found it too
\nLearned a little passing through<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot the last
\n(Not today)
\nThere\u2019s another song
\n(Left to play)<\/p>\n

One more wish
\n(One more bet)
\nOne more dream
\n(Not finished yet)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis is\u2026
\n(Almost over)
\n\u2026 but not quite\u2026
\n(Yet)<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t forget
\n(Yet to discover)
\nTo get it right
\n(You bet)<\/p>\n

One more turn
\n(One more view)
\nOne more chance
\n(To see it through)<\/p>\n

Almost over\u2026
\n(Not complete)
\nOne more chorus\u2026
\n(One more beat)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nNot quite\u2026
\n(Yet\u2026)
\nAlmost over\u2026
\n(Not yet\u2026)
\nOne more song\u2026
