Exactly<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nQuestions remain\u2026<\/p>\n

Answers emerge\u2026<\/p>\n

Look again\u2026<\/p>\n

(Start at \u201cbegin\u201d)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThat\u2019s reality?
\n(Exactly)
\nHard as it is to believe
\n(Difficult to conceive)<\/p>\n

Exactly
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOne small clue becomes a sign
\nPatterns form through space and time
\nPieces gather, side by side
\nShowing what they cannot hide<\/p>\n

Nature speaks without a word
\nThrough the things we\u2019ve seen and heard
\nPhysics writes the score each day
\nWhether we agree or stray<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWatch it grow
\n(Watch it change)
\nWatch the pieces
\n(Rearrange)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nExactly

\nTruth unfolds
\n(Rapidly)<\/p>\n

\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHeat moves through the sea and sky
\nClouds drift slowly passing by
\nHidden links begin to show
\nFar beyond what eyes can know<\/p>\n

Signals travel, paths combine
\nCrossing oceans over time
\nSmall beginnings leave their mark
\nLighting up the growing spark<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTake a look
\n(Beyond the view)
\nSee the story
\n(Coming through)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nReality asks no permission
\nIt follows its own condition
\nThe laws of nature keep their pace
\nAcross each moment, time, and place<\/p>\n

Listen close
\n(Read the signs)
\nSee the patterns
\n(Between the lines)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nBelief\u2026<\/p>\n

doesn\u2019t alter\u2026<\/p>\n

the laws of physics.<\/p>\n

Understanding\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 brings relief.<\/p>\n

Point<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nA difference\u2026<\/p>\n

A detail\u2026<\/p>\n

A decimal\u2026<\/p>\n

Can change what you mean\u2026<\/p>\n

(To obscene)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThat\u2019s the point
\n(Exactly)
\nNot zero point 1
\n(Not zero point 2, too)
\nObviously
\n(Not zero point 3)
\nZero
\n(Exactly)<\/p>\n

\u2026now you know
\n(That\u2019s the point)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSmall numbers can seem so small
\nBarely noticed, barely tall
\nBut the scale can shift the view
\nWhen the numbers multiply through<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nPoint by point
\n(Line by line)
\nTruth appears
\n(Over time)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThat\u2019s the point

\n(Exactly)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA small degree, a small delay
\nCan shift the outcome of the day
\nSystems move and patterns bend
\nFollowing where the numbers send<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nCount the change
\n(See the trend)
\nFollow where
\n(The numbers bend)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot opinion
\n(Not belief)
\nA measured signal
\n(Brings relief)<\/p>\n

Look closer
\n(Find the clue)
\nThe point itself
\n(Points to truth)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe point\u2026<\/p>\n

isn\u2019t the decimal.<\/p>\n

The point\u2026<\/p>\n

is what the decimal reveals.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]

[Verse 1]
\nLooking high and looking low
\nSearching where the answers go
\nTurning pages, asking why

Then a moment, clear and bright
\nBrings the picture into sight
\nWhat seemed distant, hard to find
\nWas already on your mind<\/p>\n

[Chorus]

\nWith understanding
\n(As your guide)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe best questions\u2026<\/p>\n

\n(It\u2019ll end this debate)<\/p>\n

No slowdown
\nComing soon
\n(That\u2019s a minute late)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe evidence is plain to all
\nRight there written on the wall
\nHeat keeps building, oceans rise
\nNo disguise before our eyes<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTick\u2026 tock\u2026
\n(The clock goes on)
\nDay by day\u2026

\nNo revolvers

costs more\u2026<\/p>\n

than action\u2026<\/p>\n

(That\u2019s not a solution!)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]

\n(Problem of consumption)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPunch the clock from nine to five
\nTrying just to stay alive
\nBuild another, make another
\nBuy another for your brother<\/p>\n

Fill the cart and fill the shed
\nNeed a bigger house instead
\nOut with old and in with new
\nBefore the old is hardly through<\/p>\n

\n(Problem of consumption)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nForests fall for one more chair
\nPlastic floating everywhere
\nEnergy behind the scene
\nKeeps the shelves forever green<\/p>\n

More extraction, more demand
\nMore pressure placed upon the land
\nThe cycle spins without a pause
\nDriven by its own applause<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNeed or want?
\n(Hard to tell)
\nConsumption addiction
\n(Casts its spell)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nLess can still
\n(Mean enough)
\nLiving well
\n(Without more stuff)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nProduction\u2026<\/p>\n

Supply\u2026<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nA question\u2026<\/p>\n

A hypothesis\u2026<\/p>\n

A measurement\u2026<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see what the evidence says.<\/p>\n

(Experiment\u2026 underway)<\/p>\n

Hey! Hey! Hey!<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nReally?
\n(Based on evidence)
\nReality
\n(With full confidence)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStart with what the data shows
\nNot the story someone chose
\nMeasure twice before you speak
\nTruth is stronger when you seek<\/p>\n

Charts and numbers, year by year
\nMaking patterns crystal clear
\nTest the claim against the light
\nSee if it survives the night<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nAsk again
\n(Then compare)
\nFollow facts
\n(Anywhere)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]

\nMeasure what the record shows
\nFollow where the evidence goes<\/p>\n

[Chorus]

[Intro]
\nNumbers can guide you\u2026<\/p>\n

But time keeps moving\u2026<\/p>\n

Future\u2019s comes to view.<\/p>\n

The question is\u2026<\/p>\n

How close are we?<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nApproximately
\n(We don\u2019t have very long)
\nExactly
\n(Till the end of this swan song)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA line is drawn across the years
\nMeasured hopes and measured fears
\nPredictions change as systems shift
\nSearching for the narrow drift<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe future carries uncertainty
\nBut that does not mean we cannot see
\nA weather map, a climate trend
\nA warning message we can send<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNo crystal ball
\n(No perfect view)
\nJust better questions
\n(For a better clue)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nA range of futures, paths ahead
\nChoices made by words we\u2019ve said<\/p>\n

The clock moves forward
\n(The moments pass)
\nDecisions shape
\n(The hourglass)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nA forecast\u2026<\/p>\n

is not fate.
\n(It will not last)<\/p>\n

A probability\u2026<\/p>\n

is a chance to change.<\/p>\n

(Sound too strange?)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nApproximately

\nExactly
\n(Till the end of this swan song)<\/p>\n

Approximately
\n(We see the trend)
\nExactly
\n(Where choices end)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nNot a number\u2026<\/p>\n

Not a date\u2026<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNo perfect note, no perfect sound
\nJust turn it up and shake the ground
\nA little dirt beneath the tone
\nA little fire of your own<\/p>\n

\nThe road gets long, the nights get loud
\nSometimes you lose yourself in the crowd
\nBut when you put up a fight
\nTurns to a song beneath the light<\/p>\n

\nPush ahead
\n(Through the noise)
\nFind the spark
\n(Find your voice)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nPrecision has its place in line
\nBut rock was born from crossing signs
\nA little wild, a little free
\nA little bit of you and me<\/p>\n

When the world says

\nTurn the amp up
\n(Enjoy the ride)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIt\u2019s close enough

(To feel alive!)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s close enough

begins to shift\u2026<\/p>\n

(The sound\u2019s not found)<\/p>\n

Standing still\u2026<\/p>\n

becomes a choice.<\/p>\n

(Freewill)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDo you find it hard to remain
\n(Gettin\u2019 tougher to sustain)
\nIt\u2019s time for a\u2026
\n(Change in position)<\/p>\n

A formula\u2026
\n(For the solution)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHolding tight to yesterday
\nWon\u2019t always light tomorrow\u2019s way
\nThe map evolves, the landscape bends
\nThe beginning finds new ends<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nShift your view
\n(Change your stance)
\nTake the moment
\n(Take the chance)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMove with purpose
\n(Not with fear)
\nSee tomorrow
\n(Coming near)<\/p>\n

A different angle
\n(A clearer sight)
\nTurning questions
\n(Into light)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for a\u2026
\n(Change in position)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDo you find it hard to remain

\nIt\u2019s time for a\u2026
\n(Change in position)<\/p>\n

A formula\u2026
\n(For the solution)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWhen new evidence arrives
\nUnderstanding comes alive
\nChanging minds is how we grow
\nFollowing where the signals go<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nA formula is more than numbers
\nIt\u2019s the pattern underneath
\nObservation, thought, and testing
\nBuilding confidence beneath<\/p>\n

Take one step
\n(Then one more)
\nOpen up
\n(Another door)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nChanging\u2026<\/p>\n

your position\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 may be the solution.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s progress\u2026<\/p>\n

guided\u2026<\/p>\n

by comprehension.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nDo you find it hard to remain
\n(Gettin\u2019 tougher to sustain)
\nIt\u2019s time for a\u2026
\n(Change in position)<\/p>\n

A formula\u2026
\n(For the solution)<\/p>\n

Move ahead
\n(Don\u2019t stand still)
\nShape tomorrow
\n(With thought and will)<\/p>\n

Change your view
\n(Change your mind)
\nLeave old limits
\n(Far behind)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDo you find it hard to remain

\nIt\u2019s time for a\u2026
\n(Change in position)<\/p>\n

A formula\u2026
\n(For the solution)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nYep, one new step\u2026<\/p>\n

One new direction\u2026<\/p>\n

One new position\u2026<\/p>\n

One better solution.<\/p>\n

Movement<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nSometimes\u2026<\/p>\n

the greatest movement\u2026<\/p>\n

that turns the tide\u2026<\/p>\n

starts on the inside.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nUnder threat of attack
\n(She made no movement)
\nFor what might she might lack
\n(Her soul is heaven sent)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe world was pushing from all sides
\nStill she let her thoughts decide
\nNo, no need for speed
\nSometimes patience plants the seed<\/p>\n

Standing still to understand
\nCan reveal another plan
\nA quiet mind can often see
\nWhat escapes anxiety<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nPause a while
\n(Breathe it in)
\nClear the noise
\n(Before you begin)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMovement starts
\n(Before the stride)
\nChanging first
\n(The thoughts inside)<\/p>\n

Under threat of attack
\n(She made no movement)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nUnder threat of attack
\n(She made no movement)
\nFor what might she might lack
\n(\u2026 in might\u2026 she might exceed in what\u2019s meant)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nPressure has a way of showing
\nWhat is worth protecting, growing
\nFear may whisper, \u201cStand and hide\u201d
\nHope replies, \u201cDecide without pride.\u201d<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMind before
\n(The hands begin)
\nVision first
\n(Then comes the win)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nUnder threat of attack
\n(She stood so still)
\nFor what she might lack
\n(\u2026 in might\u2026 she might.. she could thrill with will)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nUnder threat of attack
\n(She made no movement)
\nFor what might she might lack
\n(There was mental improvement)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nUnder threat of attack
\n(She made no movement)
\nFor what might she might lack
\n(She has superior mental amusement)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Quiet mind\u2026<\/p>\n

Steady heart\u2026<\/p>\n

Movement\u2026<\/p>\n

Starts.<\/p>\n

About the Song
\nThis song was inspired by an intense encounter between a red squirrel and a mockingbird. Nearly 25 feet above the ground, they raced around the side of a large tree at astonishing speed, creating a scene that was both mesmerizing and intimidating to watch.<\/p>\n

At seemingly random moments, the squirrel would freeze, clinging upside down to the bark high above the my head. The mockingbird would perch nearby, patiently waiting for the slightest movement. The instant the squirrel twitched, all hell would break loose. Around and around the tree they went\u2014then another sudden freeze. Repeat.<\/p>\n

As a bystander, it felt inevitable that one of them was eventually going to come flying straight into the audience. Fortunately, they never did. Instead, they demonstrated a remarkable blend of speed, timing, patience, and instinct\u2014a natural dance of pursuit and evasion that was as fascinating as it was exhilarating.<\/p>\n

About Half Past<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nHalf past\u2026<\/p>\n

Not the end of the dance\u2026<\/p>\n

Just the middle\u2026<\/p>\n

Of another chance.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAbout half past
\n(Our hour)
\nCan we make it last
\n(Our power)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe hands keep moving, never still
\nAnother choice, another will
\nMoments pass but leave a trace
\nThe decision finds its place<\/p>\n

We borrow time we cannot own
\nBuilding futures from what\u2019s known
\nThe sunrise asks once more
\nWhat we\u2019re really striving for<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAbout half past
\n(Not too late)
\nTime remains
\n(To navigate)<\/p>\n

Hold the line
\n(Change the course)
\nHope grows stronger
\n(At the source)<\/p>\n

About half past
\n(Our hour)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAbout half past
\n(Our hour)
\nCan we make it last
\n(Our power)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nPower isn\u2019t only might
\nIt\u2019s choosing what we know is right
\nPassing on a better day
\nBefore the light can fade away<\/p>\n

Generations share the load
\nWalking down the same long road
\nWhat we leave becomes the key
\nFor those who\u2019ll write tomorrow\u2019s story<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe hour isn\u2019t fixed in stone
\nIts outcome hasn\u2019t yet been known
\nEach new voice and every hand
\nCan help redraw tomorrow\u2019s plan<\/p>\n

Minute by minute
\n(Choice by choice)
\nPower grows
\n(With your voice)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe clock\u2026<\/p>\n

doesn\u2019t choose.<\/p>\n

We do\u2026
\n(Win or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nAbout half past
\n(Our hour)
\nCan we make it last
\n(Our power)<\/p>\n

Turn the page
\n(Begin anew)
\nThe future waits
\n(On what we do)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAbout half past
\n(Our hour)
\nCan we make it last
\n(Our are?)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nAbout half past
\n(Our hour)
\nCan we make it last
\n(Our are?)<\/p>\n

Half past\u2026<\/p>\n

Still moving\u2026<\/p>\n

Still choosing\u2026<\/p>\n

Still time.
\n(To come chime\u2026)
\nCome chiming in<\/p>\n

Where There\u2019s Smoke<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nYou smell it\u2026<\/p>\n

Before you see it\u2026<\/p>\n

One spark\u2026<\/p>\n

Lights up the dark.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhere there\u2019s smoke
\n(There\u2019s fire)
\nIt\u2019s no joke
\n(Fanning flames higher)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe forest dries beneath the sun
\nAnother season has begun
\nOne small ember finds its way
\nTurning night into the day<\/p>\n

Ashes riding on the breeze
\nCarried far beyond the trees
\nThe sky grows dim at noon again
\nSmoke starts\u2026 where will it end<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nTiny sparks
\n(Growing fast)
\nBuilding futures
\n(From the past)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhere there\u2019s smoke
\n(There\u2019s fire)
\nIt\u2019s no joke
\n(Fanning flames higher)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nBlackened forests lose their shade
\nCarbon debts are quickly paid
\nSoot on snow absorbs the light
\nMelting ice with darker white<\/p>\n

Smoke can cool the sky today
\nBlocking sunlight on its way
\nYet after all the haze is gone
\nThe warming keeps on carrying on<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFire feeds the warming air
\nWarming makes more fire there
\nRound and round the cycle grows
\nHow far it ends\u2026 nobody knows<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nSmoke\u2026<\/p>\n

is more than smoke.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a signal\u2026<\/p>\n

of energy\u2026<\/p>\n

moving through all we see.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhere there\u2019s smoke
\n(There\u2019s fire)
\nIt\u2019s no joke
\n(Fanning flames higher)<\/p>\n

Ash to sky
\n(Sky to flame)
\nChanging climates
\n(Change the game)<\/p>\n

Where there\u2019s smoke
\n(Understand)
\nThat the human
\n(Has changed the land)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhere there\u2019s smoke\u2026<\/p>\n

There\u2019s fire\u2026<\/p>\n

Still rising\u2026<\/p>\n

Higher\u2026<\/p>\n

The Spot<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nA single moment\u2026<\/p>\n

A quiet decision\u2026<\/p>\n

One direction\u2026<\/p>\n

Can reshape our vision.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe exact spot
\n(To choose why or why not)
\nThe specific location
\n(Of our acceleration)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStanding where two pathways meet
\nHistory beneath our feet
\nSmall decisions shape the day
\nMore than words can ever say<\/p>\n

Tiny choices, one by one
\nQuiet work is never done
\nFresh directions leave a trace
\nChanging time and changing place<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFind the spot
\n(Where futures bend)
\nWhere beginnings
\n(Meet an end)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe exact spot
\n(To choose why or why not)
\nThe specific location
\n(Of our acceleration)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nChange arrives a little at a time
\nBuilding rhythm, building rhyme
\nMomentum gathers through the years
\nGrowing stronger through our fears<\/p>\n

Small beginnings multiply
\nLifting dreams toward the sky
\nOne direction leads to two
\nOpening another view<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe exact spot
\nMay seem so small
\nChanging pace
\nAfter all<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe future\u2026<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t appear\u2026<\/p>\n

Instantly.<\/p>\n

It unfolds\u2026<\/p>\n

Gradually.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThe exact spot
\n(To choose why or why not)
\nThe specific location
\n(Of our acceleration)<\/p>\n

One more choice
\n(Makes a start)
\nChanging minds
\n(Changing hearts)<\/p>\n

Find the spot
\n(Hold it true)
\nTomorrow starts
\n(With what we do)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThe exact spot\u2026<\/p>\n

The turning point\u2026<\/p>\n

A quiet choice\u2026<\/p>\n

Then raise your voice\u2026<\/p>\n

Whereabouts<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nLooking around\u2026<\/p>\n

Looking within\u2026<\/p>\n

Searching\u2026<\/p>\n

For where to begin.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhere about
\n(Are your whereabouts)
\nHave you lost your mind
\n(Is it hard to find)<\/p>\n

Is freewill lost
\n(Ohhh, at what cost?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStanding at a crossroads still
\nCaught between desire and will
\nVoices pulling different ways
\nClouding clear and simple days<\/p>\n

Maps can show where roads begin
\nNot the place that\u2019s found within
\nQuestions echo through the night
\nSearching for a guiding light<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWhich direction?
\n(Who decides?)
\nWhich tomorrow?
\n(Where truth hides?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhereabouts
\n(Do we stand?)
\nDrawing futures
\n(By our hand)<\/p>\n

Searching outward
\n(Looking in)
\nWhere the journey
\n(Might begin)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhere about
\n(Are your whereabouts)
\nHave you lost your mind
\n(Is it hard to find)<\/p>\n

Is freewill lost
\n(Ohhh, at what cost?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe path ahead is rarely straight
\nBuilt through choices, chance, and fate
\nSome will wander, some will stay
\nStill deciding day by day<\/p>\n

No compass points to certainty
\nOnly possibility
\nOne more step can change the view
\nOpening a path that\u2019s new<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe question isn\u2019t where you\u2019ve been
\nIt\u2019s where the next step may begin<\/p>\n

Pause and listen
\n(Breathe it in)
\nMove with purpose
\n(Not just spin)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nYour location\u2026<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t have to be\u2026<\/p>\n

Dreaded.<\/p>\n

Instead, make it\u2026<\/p>\n

Where you\u2019re headed.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhere about
\n(Are your whereabouts)
\nHave you lost your mind
\n(Is it hard to find)<\/p>\n

Is freewill lost
\n(Ohhh, at what cost?)<\/p>\n

Choose your course
\n(While there\u2019s time)
\nOne more step
\n(One more climb)<\/p>\n

Whereabouts\u2026
\n(Lead the way)<\/p>\n

\u2026 find today.<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhere about
\n(Are your whereabouts)
\nHave you lost your mind
\n(Is it hard to find)<\/p>\n

Ohhh, now it\u2019s found\u2026
\n(Playing out in the sound)<\/p>\n

Whereabout\u2026<\/p>\n

(No longer in doubt)<\/p>\n

Found in sound<\/p>\n

In the Middle<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nThe center\u2026<\/p>\n

Keeps shifting.
\n(Drifting)<\/p>\n

What once seemed ordinary\u2026<\/p>\n

Feels unfamiliar.<\/p>\n

(How about where you are?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIn the middle
\nIsn\u2019t normal
\n(Any more?)<\/p>\n

\u2026for sure\u2026
\nGone extreme
\n(Know what I mean?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nYesterday\u2019s unusual
\nBecomes today\u2019s familiar call
\nRecords fall without a sound
\nSoon another comes around
\nWhat once made the evening news
\nNow becomes expected views<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nMoving lines
\n(Changing scale)
\nNew extremes
\n(Leave a trail)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhere\u2019s the middle?
\n(Hard to say)
\nKeeps on moving
\n(Day by day)<\/p>\n

Normal shifts
\n(Out of sight)
\nSlow enough
\n(To seem right)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIn the middle
\nIsn\u2019t normal
\n(Any more?)<\/p>\n

\u2026for sure\u2026
\nGone extreme
\n(Know what I mean?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFloods arrive with greater force
\nStorms adjust another course
\nPiece by piece the baseline bends
\nQuietly the pattern trends
\nNot because the Earth stood still
\nBut because it climbed the hill<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe middle moves
\nWithout a sound
\nUntil new limits
\nCan be found<\/p>\n

One more year
\n(A little more)
\nIs the end clearer
\n(Than before)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe danger\u2026<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t only\u2026<\/p>\n

The extremes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s forgetting\u2026<\/p>\n

What the mean\u2026<\/p>\n

Means.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nIn the middle
\nIsn\u2019t normal
\n(Any more?)<\/p>\n

\u2026for sure\u2026
\nGone extreme
\n(Know what I mean?)<\/p>\n

\u2026for sure\u2026
\nGone extreme
\n(Know what I mean?)<\/p>\n

In the middle\u2026
\n(Or so it seems\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhere\u2019s the middle?<\/p>\n

Still moving\u2026<\/p>\n

Still changing\u2026<\/p>\n

Out of sight.<\/p>\n

(Out of the light)<\/p>\n

Your Backyard<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStep outside\u2026<\/p>\n

Take a look around\u2026<\/p>\n

You might notice\u2026<\/p>\n

What\u2019s to be found.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nYou don\u2019t have to look very hard
\n(Check out your backyard)<\/p>\n

Climate change?
\n(Not so strange)
\nDidn\u2019t you hear
\n(It is here)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s happening in your backyard
\n(You don\u2019t have to search hard)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWatch the flowers bloom too soon
\nWarmer nights beneath the moon
\nRain arrives in sudden waves
\nFilling rivers, fields, and drains<\/p>\n

Birds appear at different times
\nChanging with the changing climbs
\nOne more season feels a bit
\nDifferent than you remember it<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYou don\u2019t need
\n(A satellite)
\nTo recognize
\n(What\u2019s in sight)<\/p>\n

Watch the seasons
\n(Change their pace)
\nNature leaves
\n(A clear trace)<\/p>\n

One small clue
\n(Leads to more)
\nStanding right
\n(Outside your door)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Refrain]
\nYou don\u2019t have to look very hard
\n(Check out your backyard)<\/p>\n

Climate change?
\n(Not so strange)
\nDidn\u2019t you hear
\n(It is here)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s happening in your backyard
\n(You don\u2019t have to search hard)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLonger summers, shorter snow
\nCreeks that rise and overflow
\nSmoke that travels miles away
\nTurning noon to shades of gray<\/p>\n

Trees respond to changing rain
\nFields reveal both loss and gain
\nNature writes without a pen
\nAcross the landscape now and then<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNo special lens
\nNo secret code<\/p>\n

The evidence
\nLines the road<\/p>\n

Extreme storm
\nTurned up heat
\nPatterns rapidly
\nBecome complete<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nScience\u2026<\/p>\n

Helps explain\u2026<\/p>\n

What you\u2019re seeing.<\/p>\n

Observation\u2026<\/p>\n

Is part of being.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nYou don\u2019t have to look very hard
\n(Check out your backyard)<\/p>\n

Climate change?
\n(Not so strange)
\nDidn\u2019t you hear
\n(It is here)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s happening in your backyard
\n(You don\u2019t have to search hard)<\/p>\n

Open your eyes
\n(Take a view)
\nThe changing world
\n(Is speaking to you)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nYour backyard\u2026<\/p>\n

Your neighborhood\u2026<\/p>\n

Your planet\u2026<\/p>\n

Waiting to be noticed.<\/p>\n

\u2026 not tomorrow\u2026
\n(Just look out your window)<\/p>\n

Climate Change Today: When Weather Becomes Climate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About the Song
\nMuch of the public discussion still focuses on historical trends and older climate models. But since 2023\u20132024, our understanding of the climate system has advanced significantly as scientists have increasingly examined real-time observations, accelerating changes, feedback loops, and complex Earth system behavior.<\/p>\n

Understanding climate acceleration no longer requires multiple advanced degrees or a deep background in nonlinear chaos theory. The evidence is increasingly visible in the world around us. In many ways, you can begin by simply looking out your window or out your backdoor.<\/p>\n

Crisis? What Crisis?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat\u2019s normal\u2026<\/p>\n

Depends\u2026<\/p>\n

On where you\u2019re standing.
\n(\u2026 on understanding)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nCrisis?
\n(What crisis?)
\nExactly
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re soaking in it
\n(Our habitat habit)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe weather fills another page
\nAnother flood, another stage
\nSmoke rolls in across the sky
\nStill we simply wonder why<\/p>\n

One more record, one more heat
\nWater flowing through the street
\nAfter seeing it so long
\nIt starts to feel like we belong<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSlowly changed
\n(Before our eyes)
\nGrowing used
\n(To new surprise)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCrisis?
\n(What crisis?)
\nLife goes on
\n(Another dawn)<\/p>\n

Changing baselines
\n(Quietly)
\nBecoming part
\n(Of memory)<\/p>\n

One more headline
\n(Passes by)
\nUntil another

\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re soaking in it

[Verse 2]
\nHabit has a subtle way
\nOf reshaping yesterday
\nWhat once seemed beyond belief
\nGradually becomes routine<\/p>\n

Comfort lives inside the known
\nEven when the world\u2019s outgrown
\nYesterday\u2019s extreme event
\nBecomes tomorrow\u2019s precedent<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe greatest change
\nMay not be heat<\/p>\n

It may be what
\nWe still repeat<\/p>\n

Seeing less
\n(Of what\u2019s begun)
\nUntil the changes
\nBlend as one<\/p>\n

The climate\u2026<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t ask\u2026<\/p>\n

Whether we\u2019ve adapted.<\/p>\n

It simply\u2026<\/p>\n

Keeps changing.
\n(\u2026 what we\u2019re rearranging\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nCrisis?
\n(What crisis?)
\nExactly
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re soaking in it
\n(Our habitat habit)<\/p>\n

Open your eyes
\n(Look around)
\nChanging ground
\n(Beneath the ground)<\/p>\n

Crisis?
\n(Not someday)
\nIt\u2019s unfolding
\n(Day by day)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

What crisis\u2026<\/p>\n

The one\u2026<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been living through\u2026
\n(Me and you)<\/p>\n

All along.
\n(Sing the song)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nCrisis?
\n(What crisis?)
\nExactly
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re soaking in it
\n(Our habitat habit)<\/p>\n

About the Song<\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t help but think of Supertramp\u2019s \u201cCrisis? What Crisis?\u201d album cover:<\/div>\n
Maximilien Lamy\u2019s powerful photograph capturing a couple relaxing on a beach against a backdrop of apocalyptic wildfire smoke has quickly become a defining global image of the climate crisis. Taken on July 24, 2026, at Moutchic beach near Lacanau in southwestern France, the photo perfectly encapsulates the jarring contrast of modern climate apathy. It features prominently on the front pages of major global newspapers, including The Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.<\/div>\n

Apathy<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nNot because\u2026<\/p>\n

People don\u2019t know.
\n(They let it go)<\/p>\n

Sometimes\u2026<\/p>\n

They simply look away.
\n(Day after day after day)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis apathy
\n(Is insanity)
\n\u2026I mean\u2026
\n(Really)
\n\u2026obscene
\n(Scene)
\nSeen<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHeadlines fade before they\u2019re read
\nTomorrow\u2019s story moves ahead
\nAnother warning, another sign
\nLost beneath the daily grind<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOpen your eyes
\n(Take a look)
\nRead the pages
\n(Of the book)<\/p>\n

Truth remains
\n(Standing still)
\nWaiting on
\n(A change in will)<\/p>\n

Time keeps moving
\n(Day by day)
\nWhile concern
\n(Fades away)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Refrain]
\nThis apathy
\n(Is insanity)
\n\u2026I mean\u2026
\n(Really)
\n\u2026obscene
\n(Scene)
\nSeen<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nChange is easier to ignore
\nWhen it builds a little more
\nUntil one morning comes around
\nAnd yesterday can\u2019t quite be found<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHope begins
\nWith seeing clear<\/p>\n

Not through panic
\nNot through fear<\/p>\n

Face the facts
\n(Understand)
\nThe future\u2019s built
\n(By our hands)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nApathy\u2026<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t delay\u2026<\/p>\n

The decay.<\/p>\n

It only delays\u2026<\/p>\n

Our number of days.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThis apathy
\n(Is insanity)
\n\u2026I mean\u2026
\n(Really)
\n\u2026obscene
\n(Scene)
\nSeen<\/p>\n

Wake up now
\n(Open wide)
\nDon\u2019t let reason
\n(Step aside)<\/p>\n

This apathy\u2026
\n(Isn\u2019t destiny)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThis apathy
\n(Is insanity)
\n\u2026I mean\u2026
\n(Really)
\n\u2026 completely
\n(Clean)<\/p>\n

Whack-A-Mole-E!<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nReady?<\/p>\n

Here it comes\u2026<\/p>\n

Another one!
\n(Better run!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhack! (A mole) E!
\nNot (Exactly)
\nClose enough
\n(To call the bluff)<\/p>\n

Head in the hole
\n(Or\u2026 Whack!)
\nThe goal
\n(Whacked!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOne pops up, another drops
\nThinking somehow the problem stops
\nPlug one leak, ignore the next
\nLife becomes another test<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhack-a-mole!
\n(Here we go!)
\nRound and round
\n(The same old show)<\/p>\n

Treat the symptom
\n(Not the cause)
\nPlaying by
\n(The old applause)<\/p>\n

Swing again
\n(Miss the point)
\nTime to fix
\n(The broken joint)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Refrain]
\nWhack! (A mole) E!
\nNot (Exactly)
\nClose enough
\n(To call the bluff)<\/p>\n

Head in the hole
\n(Or\u2026 Whack!)
\nThe goal
\n(Whacked!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nBuild a wall against the tide
\nAnother river changes sides
\nFight one fire, another starts
\nPlaying games with loaded cards<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n\u2026 understanding
\nThe whole disaster
\n(The need\u2026 comin\u2019 on faster)<\/p>\n

Cause and effect
\n(Link as one)
\nThat\u2019s the race
\n(To be won)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nYou can\u2026<\/p>\n

Keep swinging\u2026<\/p>\n

Or, I mean\u2026<\/p>\n

Fix the machine\u2026<\/p>\n

Making\u2026<\/p>\n

The moles appear.
\n(Here)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhack! (A mole) E!
\nNot (Exactly)
\nClose enough
\n(To call the bluff)<\/p>\n

Head in the hole
\n(Or\u2026 Whack!)
\nThe goal
\n(Whacked!)<\/p>\n

See the pattern
\n(That\u2019s the key)
\nSolve the cause
\n(Set it free)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhack!<\/p>\n

Whack!<\/p>\n

Whack\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026or maybe\u2026<\/p>\n

Stop feeding the moles.
\n(Defeating the goals)<\/p>\n

Six Possible Futures<\/h2>\n

\n\"Six
\n<\/a>
Six Possible Climate Futures: We Choose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

[Intro]
\nThe future\u2026<\/p>\n

Is not a single path.<\/p>\n

It is a landscape\u2026<\/p>\n

Of possibilities<\/p>\n

(Into future realities)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nSix possible futures
\n(Of how we\u2019ll endure)
\n\u2026or not<\/p>\n

Six possible futures
\n(Our choice for sure)
\n\u2026so why not?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA thousand choices shape the road
\nCarrying a changing load
\nSystems moving, signals clear
\nPaths emerging year by year<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nProbability
\n(Not prophecy)
\nPossibility
\n(For humanity)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSix possible futures
\n(Standing ahead)
\nChoices we make
\n(Choices we\u2019ve led)<\/p>\n

One path toward balance
\n(One toward strain)
\nOne through disruption
\n(One through pain)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA changing climate, changing state
\nDecisions shape the final rate
\nFeedbacks grow and systems bend
\nWhere we arrive depends on when<\/p>\n

Adaptation, innovation
\nTransformation, preparation
\nThe choices made across the years
\nCan alter outcomes that appear<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot a prediction
\n(Not a fate)
\nA probability
\n(We calculate)<\/p>\n

A range of futures
\n(A fan of light)
\nSix possible paths
\n(Beyond tonight)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nThe question\u2026<\/p>\n

Is not:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat future will happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

The question is\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich future\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Will we choose?<\/p>\n

(Win or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nSix possible futures
\n(Of how we\u2019ll endure)
\n\u2026or not<\/p>\n

Six possible futures
\n(Our choice for sure)
\n\u2026so why not?<\/p>\n

The future is waiting
\n(Not written in stone)
\nThe path we create
\n(Is the path we own)<\/p>\n

Six possible futures
\n(Standing in view)<\/p>\n

The next step forward\u2026<\/p>\n

Depends on what we do.<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSix possible futures\u2026<\/p>\n

Six possible ways\u2026<\/p>\n

One shared planet\u2026<\/p>\n

Our choice today.<\/p>\n

About the Song
\nThis graphic emphasizes a fundamental idea: **the future is not predetermined.** Humanity is actively choosing which of these six climate futures we move toward through the decisions we make today.<\/p>\n

It also represents an effort to visualize some very complex mathematics and nonlinear climate dynamics in a way that is accessible to a broad audience.<\/p>\n

For those interested in the underlying science and calculations, there are two versions of the paper:<\/p>\n

**Graduate-Level Version**
\nA Physics-Based Scenario Framework for Nonlinear Climate Outcomes<\/a><\/p>\n

**General Audience Version**
\nUnderstanding Climate Change as a Cascading System: The Domino Effect<\/a><\/p>\n

As always, comments and constructive feedback are welcome.<\/p>\n

Voice<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nA whisper\u2026<\/p>\n

Can become a signal.
\n(To all\u2026 make the call)<\/p>\n

A single voice\u2026<\/p>\n

Can change the direction.
\n(Solution contribution)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nYou\u2019ve a voice
\n(Then you\u2019ve a choice)
\nWill you choose
\n(Win\u2026 or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWords can travel through the air
\nReaching places most everywhere
\nSilent thoughts can come alive
\nWhen a voice decides to rise<\/p>\n

Choices made from day to day
\nShape the path along the way
\nOne decision, one reply
\nCan lift a dream or let it die<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSpeak your mind
\n(Stand your ground)
\nListen close
\n(To what you\u2019ve found)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYou\u2019ve a voice
\n(Use it well)
\nA story
\n(Only you can tell)<\/p>\n

Raise the question
\n(Seek the truth)
\nBuild tomorrow
\n(From the proof)<\/p>\n

Win or lose
\n(The choice remains)
\nA voice can change
\n(The future\u2019s frame)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Refrain]
\nYou\u2019ve a voice
\n(Then you\u2019ve a choice)
\nWill you choose
\n(Win\u2026 or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nYou\u2019ve a voice
\n(Then you\u2019ve a choice)
\nWill you choose
\n(Win\u2026 or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA voice can challenge what we know
\nA voice can help awareness grow
\nA voice can question, voice can learn
\nA voice can guide the next concern<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nA voice ignored
\n(Can fade away)
\nA voice shared
\n(Can light the way)<\/p>\n

A choice begins
\n(With what we say)
\nA future forms
\n(From today)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe power\u2026<\/p>\n

Is not only\u2026<\/p>\n

In having a voice.<\/p>\n

It is in the choice!<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nYou\u2019ve a voice
\n(Then you\u2019ve a choice)
\nWill you choose
\n(Win\u2026 or lose?)<\/p>\n

Speak with reason
\n(Seek what\u2019s true)
\nThe next chapter
\n(Starts with you)<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve a voice
\n(You have a choice)
\nMake it right\u2026<\/p>\n

See the light.<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nA voice\u2026<\/p>\n

A choice\u2026<\/p>\n

A moment\u2026<\/p>\n

To decide.<\/p>\n

(Live or die)<\/p>\n

Period.<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nA period\u2026<\/p>\n

Can mark an ending.<\/p>\n

Or\u2026<\/p>\n

A moment before something new begins.<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe end.
\n(Period.)<\/p>\n

Wait! (Wait!)
\nHesitate
\n(Cause it\u2019s not over yet)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait!
\n(Nooo\u2026 don\u2019t procrastinate)
\nAnd, don\u2019t forget\u2026
\n(Participate!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA final word, a closing line
\nA point that marks a place in time
\nBut endings often hide the start
\nAnother chapter, another part<\/p>\n

The choice arrives before the page
\nA moment waiting in the age
\nStand aside or step ahead
\nChoose the path that will be led<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nOne more chance
\n(One more day)
\nOne more voice
\n(One more say)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPeriod.
\n(The sentence ends)
\nBut the story
\n(Bends again)<\/p>\n

Not complete
\n(Not defined)
\nStill unfolding
\n(Through our time)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe end.
\n(Period.)<\/p>\n

Wait! (Wait!)
\nHesitate
\n(Cause it\u2019s not over yet)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait!
\n(Nooo\u2026 don\u2019t procrastinate)
\nAnd, don\u2019t forget\u2026
\n(Participate!)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Refrain]
\nThe end.
\n(Period.)<\/p>\n

Wait! (Wait!)
\nHesitate
\n(Cause it\u2019s not over yet)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait!
\n(Nooo\u2026 don\u2019t procrastinate)
\nAnd, don\u2019t forget\u2026
\n(Participate!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWaiting for the perfect sign
\nCan leave the moment far behind
\nQuestions grow when actions stall
\nSilence cannot solve it all<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nA period
\n(Can close a door)<\/p>\n

A question mark
\n(Can ask for more)<\/p>\n

An exclamation
\n(Can ignite)<\/p>\n

A voice can turn
\n(Darkness into light)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nDon\u2019t confuse\u2026<\/p>\n

An ending\u2026<\/p>\n

With giving up.<\/p>\n

A period\u2026<\/p>\n

Can be\u2026<\/p>\n

A beginning point.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThe end.
\n(Period.)<\/p>\n

Wait! (Wait!)
\nHesitate
\n(Cause it\u2019s not over yet)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait!
\n(Nooo\u2026 don\u2019t procrastinate)
\nAnd, don\u2019t forget\u2026
\n(Participate!)<\/p>\n

The next line\u2026
\n(Is yours to write)<\/p>\n

The next chapter\u2026
\n(Is yours tonight)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nPeriod\u2026<\/p>\n

Not finished\u2026<\/p>\n
