Robust<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nRobust\u2026
\n(Thrust}
\nStrong enough to bend.
\n(Before the end)
\nAlive enough to change.
\n(Rearrange)
\nNot just surviving\u2026
\n(Thriving.)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWhen the world gets rough
\nCan you stand your ground?
\nWhen the noise gets loud
\nCan you hear the sound?<\/p>\n

\n(Alive)
\nAlive!
\n(Alive!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA healthy system
\nHas some room
\nFor change to happen
\nBefore the boom<\/p>\n

Diversity
\n(Is strength)
\nResilience
\n(Goes the length)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRobust isn\u2019t perfect
\n(Perfect takes fakes)<\/p>\n

Robust will bend
\n(\u2026 and rise again)<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nStrong doesn\u2019t mean
\nYou never fall<\/p>\n

Strong means
\nYou answer the call<\/p>\n

Adapt
\n(Adjust)
\nRespond
\n(Rebuild)<\/p>\n

Find the weakness
\nChange the field<\/p>\n

Less waste
\n(More room)
\nLess pressure
\n(Let it bloom)<\/p>\n

For the planet
\nFor the woman
\nFor the man
\n(Yes we can!)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nWhen justice is\u2026 just\u2026
\nThat\u2019s robust.<\/p>\n

Earth or Bust<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStick out your thumb\u2026
\n(Ummm)
\nWhere are you going?
\n(Not knowing\u2026)
\nEarth\u2026<\/p>\n

Or bust?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStanding by the roadside
\nWatching traffic roll
\nEverybody\u2019s moving
\nBut nobody gives a ride<\/p>\n

Got a little suitcase
\nGot a head full of dust
\nOne road goes nowhere
\nOne road says trust<\/p>\n

Fossil fuel fool
\nPushing one more mile
\nBurning through the future
\nWith a confident smile<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nThumb!
\n(Thumb a ride!)
\nRide!
\n(Nowhere to hide!)<\/p>\n

Choose!
\n(Choose!)
\nA side!<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nStickin\u2019 out my thumb
\n(Feelin\u2019 a little dumb)
\nEarth\u2026 or bust
\n(It\u2019s a must)<\/p>\n

The fossil fuel fool
\n(Has made it uncool)
\nBoth figuratively
\n(And literally\u2026)<\/p>\n

Literally!<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nEarth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nWhat\u2019s it gonna be?<\/p>\n

Earth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nChoose your destiny<\/p>\n

Earth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nIt\u2019s a must!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYou don\u2019t have to suffer
\nYou don\u2019t have to crawl
\nYou don\u2019t have to give up
\nThe good things at all<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFiguratively!
\n(Literally!)<\/p>\n

Fossil fuel
\n(Fool!)<\/p>\n

Cool?
\n(Not cool!)<\/p>\n

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

Fuel!
\n(Fool!)<\/p>\n

Burning the future
\nIs nobody\u2019s rule<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nStick out your thumb
\nHitch a ride
\nBut don\u2019t get stuck
\nOn the wrong side<\/p>\n

Old technology
\nOld demand
\nOld excuses
\nOld command<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t change\u201d
\n(Why not?)
\n\u201cCosts too much\u201d
\n(Does not)<\/p>\n

Check the ledger
\nCheck the bill<\/p>\n

Maybe changing
\nPays you still<\/p>\n

Demand destruction
\nStarts with a revolution<\/p>\n

Or bust.<\/p>\n

[Whispered]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a must.<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nStickin\u2019 out my thumb
\n(Feelin\u2019 a little dumb)
\nEarth\u2026 or bust
\n(It\u2019s a must)<\/p>\n

The fossil fuel fool
\n(Has made it uncool)
\nBoth figuratively
\n(And literally\u2026)<\/p>\n

Literally!<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nEarth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nWe\u2019re on the road<\/p>\n

Earth or bust!
\n(Earth or bust!)
\nTime to lighten the load<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nEarth\u2026
\n(Not so robust?)
\nEarth\u2026
\n(A new birth)
\nEarth or bust!<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]
\nLiterally\u2026
\n(Reality)<\/p>\n

Busted<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nBusted\u2026
\n(Suggested)
\nNot finished.<\/p>\n

Not forgotten.
\n(Not rotten)
\nJust\u2026<\/p>\n

A little worse for wear.
\n(Right around there)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCracked paint
\nRusty frame
\nStill remembers
\nWhy it came<\/p>\n

Bent wheel
\nLoose screw
\nStill got something
\nLeft to do<\/p>\n

Years go by
\nThings get old
\nStories fade
\nBut hearts stay bold<\/p>\n

You can wear
\nThe battle scars
\nStill keep reaching
\nFor the stars<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nBusted
\n(But not broken)
\nRusted
\n(But still stokin\u2019)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBusted!
\n(Busted!)
\nBut I\u2019m still alive<\/p>\n

Rusted!
\n(Rusted!)
\nStill got a drive<\/p>\n

Busted!
\n(Busted!)
\nNot broken!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nKeep those dreams
\nDon\u2019t delay
\nChange the scenes
\nHave a say<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBusted doesn\u2019t mean
\nYou\u2019ve lost
\n(It\u2019s more the cost)
\nOf obscene\u2026<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nBusted
\n(Still moving)
\nRusted
\n(Still grooving)<\/p>\n

Busted
\n(But not broken)
\nTrusted
\n(Keep on stokin\u2019)<\/p>\n

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

But not broken.<\/p>\n

Rusted\u2026<\/p>\n

But still stokin\u2019.<\/p>\n

[Whispered]
\nStill tokin\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nBusted
\n(But not broken)
\nTrusted
\n(Keep on stokin\u2019)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nBusted!
\n(Busted!)
\nStill alive<\/p>\n

Rusted!
\n(Rusted!)
\nStill got drive<\/p>\n

Bent!
\n(Bent!)
\nScars!
\n(Upon scars)<\/p>\n

Still reaching
\nFor the stars<\/p>\n

Busted!
\n(Busted!)
\nBut not broken!<\/p>\n

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

Rusted\u2026<\/p>\n

Still stokin\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n

Not broken.<\/p>\n

Raising the Bar<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nRaise it\u2026
\n(Why?)
\nRaise the bar.
\n(But how high\u2026)
\nCan we go?
\n(Do you know?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOne more step
\nOne more climb
\nMove the marker
\nOne more time<\/p>\n

Set the standard
\nSet the pace
\nPush the limit
\nChange the race<\/p>\n

Yesterday
\nWas yesterday
\nTomorrow
\nMoves away<\/p>\n

What we thought
\nWas far enough
\nSuddenly
\nIs gettin\u2019 tough<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nRaising the bar
\n(Sound bizarre)
\nGonna see how far
\n(We push, push, push)<\/p>\n

Gotta raise the bar
\n(To accommodate the state)
\n\u2026 the state we\u2019re in\u2026
\n(Begin!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHeat goes up
\nWater climbs
\nStorms arrive
\nAt different times<\/p>\n

Old assumptions
\nLose their grip
\nWhen the system
\nStarts to shift<\/p>\n

What was rare
\nBecomes routine
\nWhat was distant
\nNow is seen<\/p>\n

Adaptation
\nIsn\u2019t fear
\nIt\u2019s responding
\nTo what\u2019s already here<\/p>\n

The bar was built
\nFor yesterday<\/p>\n

Yesterday
\nIs gone<\/p>\n

If the baseline
\nMoves beneath us<\/p>\n

Then the baseline
\nMust move on<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nRaise the standard
\nRaise the floor
\nMeasure more
\nOf what\u2019s in store
\nDon\u2019t pretend
\nThe old scale
\nStill explains
\nYour fairytale<\/p>\n

New data
\n(New day)
\nNew limits
\n(New way)<\/p>\n

New conditions
\nNeed knew vision<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait
\nUntil the water
\nReaches the door
\n(No, we can\u2019t wait any more!)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nRaising the bar\u2026<\/p>\n

Sound bizarre\u2026<\/p>\n

How far?<\/p>\n

[Whispered]
\nThe state we\u2019re in\u2026<\/p>\n

Begin.<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nRaising the bar
\n(Sound bizarre)
\nGonna see just how far
\n(We can push, push, push)
\n\u2026 push the lush<\/p>\n

Gotta raise the bar
\n(To accommodate the state)
\n\u2026 the state we\u2019re in\u2026
\n(Begin!)<\/p>\n

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

The bar\u2026<\/p>\n

Push\u2026<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]
\nAccommodate\u2026<\/p>\n

The modern state.<\/p>\n

It’s a Must<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nIt\u2019s a must\u2026<\/p>\n

(Find a way)<\/p>\n

Not someday.<\/p>\n

(Justice or bust)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWe bent the frame
\nWe pushed too far
\nForgot how fragile
\nSystems are<\/p>\n

Took what worked
\nAnd took some more
\nTill the warning
\nReached the door<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIt\u2019s a must
\n(Find our way back to robust)
\nIt\u2019s a must
\n(Making justice just)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s a must!
\n(Kick of the dust)
\nFind our way back
\nTo robust<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a must!
\n(Forego lust!)
\nMake the future
\nMore just
\n(\u2026 for sure)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nJustice isn\u2019t
\nTaking more
\nJustice isn\u2019t
\nBlood and gore<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRobust!
\n(Essence of resilience)<\/p>\n

Justice!
\n(Forget vengeance)<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nIt\u2019s a must
\nNot a threat<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a must
\nNot a regret<\/p>\n

Change the signal
\nSend it out to all<\/p>\n

Put the power
\nIn your hand
\n(\u2026 to understand)<\/p>\n

Break the cycle
\nBreak the spell
\n(Make ill well)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nIt\u2019s a must\u2026
\n(Pick up the slack)
\nFind our way back\u2026
\nTo robust.<\/p>\n

[Whispered]
\nMaking\u2026<\/p>\n

Justice\u2026<\/p>\n

Just.<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nIt\u2019s a must
\n(Find our way back to robust)
\nIt\u2019s a must
\n(Making justice just)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s a must!
\n(It\u2019s a must!)
\nJust\u2026
\n(Justice!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a must!
\n(It\u2019s a must!)
\nFind our way
\nBack to robust<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nContinues Underneath]
\nRobust\u2026<\/p>\n

Just\u2026<\/p>\n

Justice\u2026<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]
\nIt\u2019s not enough
\nto survive.<\/p>\n

We must\u2026<\/p>\n

Thrive.<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nYou got vigor?<\/p>\n

Heart beats
\nFeet move
\nFind a rhythm
\nFind your groove<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait
\nFor the perfect time
\nDon\u2019t wait
\nFor the perfect sign<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nStrong isn\u2019t
\nJust muscle and bone
\nIt\u2019s the will
\nTo make it known<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSeriously!
\n(Seriously!)<\/p>\n

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

Not just one
\n(Won\u2019t be won)<\/p>\n

But all of us
\n(All of us)
\n(Vigor\u2026 us)<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nKick the vigor
\nKick it harder
\nTurn the spark
\nInto a starter<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t confuse
\nThe word \u201cvigorous\u201d
\nWith pretending
\nNothing\u2019s dangerous<\/p>\n

Vigor means
\nYou\u2019re ready<\/p>\n

Ready to adapt
\nReady to move
\nReady to act<\/p>\n

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

Seriously\u2026<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]
\n(Unaware?)
\nIt\u2019s in there.
\n(We can choose)
\n\u2026 to kick it loose.<\/p>\n

Feeling Good<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nDo you wish we could?<\/p>\n

Feel good\u2026<\/p>\n

You know we should.<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWake up in the morning
\nOpen up the door

[Verse 2]
\nLess stuff in the closet
\nLess clutter in the mind
\nLess running after something
\nYou were never gonna find<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDo you need it?
\n(Need it?)
\nOr wanna feed it?
\n(Why not concede it?)<\/p>\n

\u2026 finding balance
\nEvery chance
\nSing our song
\n\u2026 do the dance<\/p>\n

Not just money

Blow Off the Dust<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nBeen sitting around?<\/p>\n

Missing the sound?<\/p>\n

Well\u2026<\/p>\n

Blow it off!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCobwebs on the ceiling
\nDust upon the floor
\nBeen waiting for a reason
\nTo open up the door<\/p>\n

Stretch your arms
\nMove your feet

\nA different beat<\/p>\n

\nAt the chance!<\/p>\n

Life is waiting
\nDon\u2019t sit still<\/p>\n

Find your rhythm
\nFind your will<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMaybe you\u2019ve been waiting
\nFor the world to change
\nMaybe you\u2019ve been thinking
\nLife should rearrange<\/p>\n

Walk outside
\nFeel the air
\nTurn around
\nThere\u2019s life out there<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRust isn\u2019t destiny
\n(Dust isn\u2019t home)<\/p>\n

Stillness isn\u2019t energy
\n(Get up and roam)<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to run
\n(You don\u2019t have to race)<\/p>\n

Just put a little motion
\nBack into the place<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nShake it
\n(Don\u2019t break it)
\nMove it
\n(Improve it)<\/p>\n

Stand up
\n(Speak up)<\/p>\n

Turn the volume
\nWay up!<\/p>\n

More movement
\nMore light
\nA lot more laughter
\nFeels alright<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait
\nFor motivation
\nMotion can create
\nThe inspiration<\/p>\n

Blow off the dust
\n(Shake off the rust)
\nGet up and move about
\n(Shout!)<\/p>\n

Dance at the chance<\/p>\n

About the Song
\nMountains may look permanent. They are not.<\/p>\n

Across Alaska, Greenland, Norway, Chile, New Zealand, and the European Alps, glaciers are retreating, permafrost is thawing, and mountain slopes that were stabilized by ice for centuries or millennia are becoming increasingly unstable.<\/p>\n

The result is a dangerous transformation of the high mountains: rockfalls, landslides, glacier collapses, debris flows, and landslide-generated tsunamis.<\/p>\n

These are not simply isolated geological curiosities. They are examples of a larger climate-driven interaction among the cryosphere\u2014the frozen part of the Earth system\u2014the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere. As ice disappears, water enters places where it previously could not. As frozen ground thaws, fractures that were once reinforced by ice can weaken. As glaciers retreat, steep slopes can lose part of the support and confinement that helped stabilize them.<\/p>\n

The mountains can begin to crumble.<\/p>\n

And when they do, enormous amounts of stored gravitational energy can suddenly become kinetic energy.
\nA Mountain Can Become a Climate Hazard<\/p>\n

One of the clearest examples occurred in East Greenland in September 2023.<\/p>\n

A massive rock-and-ice avalanche, involving approximately 25 million cubic meters of material, plunged into Dickson Fjord. The impact generated an initial tsunami with a runup of approximately 200 meters\u2014about 650 feet. The confined fjord then acted like a gigantic bathtub, allowing the water to oscillate back and forth as a seiche.<\/p>\n

That oscillation continued for nine days.<\/p>\n

The movement was powerful enough to generate seismic waves detectable around the world. Scientists eventually determined that the mysterious nine-day signal recorded by seismometers globally was produced by the fjord\u2019s oscillating water.<\/p>\n

In other words, a climate-related change in a glacierized mountain landscape produced a chain reaction:<\/p>\n

Glacial thinning \u2192 slope destabilization \u2192 rock-and-ice avalanche \u2192 tsunami \u2192 seiche \u2192 global seismic signal<\/p>\n

This is what a climate cascade looks like.<\/p>\n

About the Song: Selecting Trees
\nA diverse mixture of trees provides the greatest resilience.<\/p>\n

Both deciduous and evergreen (conifer) species should be included whenever practical.<\/p>\n

Whenever possible, native species should be prioritized because they support local wildlife, require less maintenance, and are naturally adapted to regional conditions.<\/p>\n

Nature often contributes to the experiment as well. Birds, squirrels, and the wind frequently plant volunteer seedlings that can be transplanted into containers.<\/p>\n

During the Pennsylvania experiment, naturally occurring species included:
\nBlack locust
\nRed and Japanese maples
\nOak
\nSycamore
\nBlack walnut
\nTulip poplar<\/p>\n

The Black Locust<\/b>
\nOne of the most promising candidates for future forests is the black locust. Reaching heights of up to 100 feet and lifespans of 75-90 years, black locusts combine durability, rapid growth, and climate resilience. Their wood is exceptionally strong \u2014 with a Janka hardness of approximately 1,700 lbf, rivaling or exceeding that of white oak and golden teak. Their natural resistance to rot, ability to recover from damage, and tolerance of heat and drought make them remarkably suited for 21st-century conditions. Black locust sprouts vigorously from stumps and roots after cutting or damage. As hardwoods that also fix nitrogen, locusts help rebuild soils damaged by erosion and extreme rainfall.<\/p>\n

Could it be\u2026<\/p>\n

Reality?<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019ve finally
\n(foregone destiny)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI used to chase the answer
\nLike it owed me something back
\nLooking down the road ahead
\nWhile standing on the track<\/p>\n

I wanted certainty
\nI wanted something sure
\nBut life kept moving underneath me
\nAnd the future wasn\u2019t pure<\/p>\n

Then somewhere in the silence
\nI began to understand
\nThe things I thought were permanent
\nWere slipping through my hands<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA tree that never bends
\nMay break beneath the storm
\nA river finds a pathway
\nBy changing its own form<\/p>\n

Roots beneath the surface
\nBranches reaching high
\nStrength isn\u2019t just the trunk
\nIt\u2019s knowing when to try<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCome on!

[Intro]
\nGive it a thrust!<\/p>\n

A lil\u2019 shove\u2026
\n(Into the love)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWhen the road gets rough
\nAnd the pressure starts to build
\nWhen the old way isn\u2019t working
\nAnd the future won\u2019t stand still<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t freeze up
\nDon\u2019t rust

[Verse 2]
\nA seed beneath the surface
\nDoesn\u2019t know the sky
\nBut something in its nature
\nTells it it should try<\/p>\n

Push through the darkness
\nPush through the dirt
\nFind a little sunlight
\nEven when it hurts<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t confuse

Give the future

Need a Hand<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Do you need a miracle?
\nPerhaps more practical
\n\u2026 is a helping hand.
\n(I understand)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStanding on the edge
\nTrying to find your way
\nLooking for a little strength
\nTo make it through the day<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to do it
\nAll by yourself
\nJust reaching out
\nCan be the greatest self-wealth<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI understand\u2026
\n(Do you need a hand)
\nTo strive to thrive
\n(We\u2019re both alive!)<\/p>\n

\n(Need a hand!)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got one to give<\/p>\n

Need a hand?
\n(Need a hand!)<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got one life to live<\/p>\n

You help me
\n(I help you)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what living
\nIs supposed to do<\/p>\n

Strive to thrive!
\n(Strive to thrive!)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re both alive!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA seed needs soil
\nA tree needs rain
\nA river needs a pathway
\nThrough the mountain plain<\/p>\n

When one begins to stumble
\nAnother can stand near
\nNot to carry all the burden
\nJust to make the path more clear<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCooperation
\n(Our futures solution)<\/p>\n

A hand can say:
\n(Come this way)<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nNeed a hand?

No shame
\nIn asking what life\u2019s about<\/p>\n

Give a hand
\n(Give a hand!)<\/p>\n

Take a hand
\n(Take a hand!)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how we
\n(Take command!)<\/p>\n

Strive!
\n(Thrive!)<\/p>\n

Rise!
\n(Alive!)<\/p>\n

Push a little
\nHelp someone survive<\/p>\n

One small gesture
\nOne small chance<\/p>\n

One helping hand
\nCan change the circumstance<\/p>\n

I understand\u2026<\/p>\n

Stand together side by side<\/p>\n

Give a hand!
\n(Give a hand!)<\/p>\n

Take a hand!
\n(Take a hand!)<\/p>\n

Help each other
\nWhen we can<\/p>\n

Strive to thrive!

Zex<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Where ya going?<\/p>\n

(That\u2019s the question.)<\/p>\n

Not knowing\u2026<\/p>\n

(Is in the suggestion.)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStanding at the threshold
\nLooking through the door
\nYesterday is history
\nTomorrow isn\u2019t sure<\/p>\n

You can make a map
\nBut you can\u2019t map the unknown
\nYou can build a fortress
\nBut you can\u2019t live alone<\/p>\n

Something\u2019s always waiting
\nJust beyond the line
\nA possibility
\nA chance to redefine<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat\u2019s next?
\n(Zex)
\nOh the appeal
\n(Zex appeal)
\nThe unknown ideal<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nZex!
\n(Zex!)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s around the corner?<\/p>\n

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

Could tomorrow change the order?<\/p>\n

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

That\u2019s still the thrill
\n(That\u2019s the deal)<\/p>\n

The unknown ideal!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWe don\u2019t need to know
\nHow the story ends
\nSometimes uncertainty
\nIs where discovery begins<\/p>\n

A seed beneath the soil
\nDoesn\u2019t know the tree
\nA child doesn\u2019t know
\nThe person they will be<\/p>\n

A mountain doesn\u2019t know
\nThe shape of falling reign
\nThe giver doesn\u2019t know
\nThe pathway through your brain<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDon\u2019t fear the unknown.<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

(It\u2019s were grows grown.)<\/p>\n

[Pause]
\n(Wit)
\nDiscover it.<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?
\n(Zex!)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new?
\n(Zex!)<\/p>\n

What don\u2019t you know
\nThat could change your view?<\/p>\n

Turn the page
\n(Become a sage!)<\/p>\n

Open the door
\n(Explore more!)<\/p>\n

There might be something
\nYou\u2019ve never seen before<\/p>\n

Unknown!
\n(To be grown!)<\/p>\n

Ideal!
\n(For real!)<\/p>\n

\u2026 that\u2019s
\nThe whole appeal<\/p>\n

Not knowing
\n(Where we\u2019re going!)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s coming
\n(Come on along!)<\/p>\n

Makes tomorrow
\nWorth becoming!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

[Whispered]<\/p>\n

Room to Romp<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Make some room!
\n(Shake the gloom)
\nMove your feet!
\n(Off your seat)
\nIf you\u2019re wanna stomp\u2026<\/p>\n

You might as well romp.<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStuck inside the little box
\nCounting every step
\nWorrying about tomorrow
\nAnd forgetting what you\u2019ve got yet<\/p>\n

Open up the doorway
\nLet the fresh air in
\nShake away the cobwebs
\nLet the good times begin<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a rhythm in the sidewalk
\nThere\u2019s a rhythm in the street
\nThere\u2019s a rhythm in your heartbeat
\nWhen you move your feet<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nMove!

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

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

Let the rhythm boom<\/p>\n

Make some room
\nIn the room!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYou don\u2019t need a mansion
\nYou don\u2019t need a throne
\nJust a little open space
\nTo call your own<\/p>\n

A kitchen floor
\nA backyard patch
\nA beat inside your head
\nThat you can catch<\/p>\n

Jump around
\n(Jump around!)<\/p>\n

Turn it loose
\n(Turn it loose!)<\/p>\n

Life is short
\nSo what\u2019s the use
\nOf standing still?
\n(Show your freewill)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRoom\u2026
\n(Not measured by the walls.)<\/p>\n

Room\u2026
\n(When the wall falls)<\/p>\n

Room to breathe.<\/p>\n

Room to move.

\nRoom to become.

Cut the loose
\nAnd cut loose!<\/p>\n

Move your body
\n(Move!)<\/p>\n

Move your mind

\nAll the people saying, \u201cHey!
\nThere\u2019s another way!\u201d

[Build]<\/p>\n

To breakout!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nAbout to find out
\n(Breakout)
\nThere\u2019s no doubt
\n(We\u2019re about)
\n\u2026 to breakout!
\n(Breakout)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nBreakout!
\n(Breakout!)<\/p>\n

Kick down the door<\/p>\n

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

Don\u2019t do it like before<\/p>\n

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

Find another way<\/p>\n

Make a different choice
\nToday!<\/p>\n

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

Leave the old behind<\/p>\n

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

Open up your mind<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Breakout!<\/p>\n

Breakout!<\/p>\n

Breakout!<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n

About to find out\u2026<\/p>\n

What happens\u2026<\/p>\n

When we break out.<\/p>\n

Be Wildered<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Bewildered?<\/p>\n

(Good.)<\/p>\n

That means
\nthere\u2019s something
\n(\u2026 you could)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWhen the answers don\u2019t come easy
\nAnd the picture isn\u2019t clear
\nDon\u2019t run away from questions
\nLet curiosity appear<\/p>\n

A puzzle on the table
\nA riddle in the air
\nThe stranger something seems to be
\nThe more you want to stare<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t settle for the simple
\nDon\u2019t settle for the sure
\nThe question keeps you moving
\nMystery is to explore<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nBewildered
\n(Seek the answers)
\nBe wildered
\n(Mind dancers)<\/p>\n

\u2026 find the answers\u2026
\n(See curiosity)
\nBe wildered!<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBe wildered!
\n(Be bewildered!)<\/p>\n

Let your mind run free<\/p>\n

Be wildered!
\n(Be bewildered!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe Earth can keep you guessing
\nThe weather changes fast
\nA pattern may look certain
\nUntil the pattern doesn\u2019t last<\/p>\n

So when the pieces shift
\nAnd the old ideas collide
\nDon\u2019t close your eyes and call it noise
\nGo see what rises with the tide<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n(Set the pace)
\n\u2026 the space
\nBetween the question\u2026
\n(The suggestion)<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]<\/p>\n

Be wildered!
\n(Be bewildered!)<\/p>\n

Wild your mind
\n(Wild your mind!)<\/p>\n

Leave the easy answers
\nFar behind<\/p>\n

Find why!
\n(Go\u2026 try!)<\/p>\n

Ask when!
\n(\u2026 then\u2026)<\/p>\n

Ask what happens
\nIf we try again<\/p>\n

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

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

Maybe being puzzled
\nMakes us wiser<\/p>\n

Turn it round
\n(Turn it round!)<\/p>\n

Begin
\n(Look again!)<\/p>\n

New game
\n(New name)<\/p>\n

Let the knowing\u2026
\n(Get growing)<\/p>\n

Bewildered\u2026<\/p>\n

[Whispered]<\/p>\n

Seek the answers.<\/p>\n

Be wildered\u2026<\/p>\n

(One with the mind dancers)<\/p>\n

[Soft Response]<\/p>\n

Mind dancers.<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

Find the answers\u2026<\/p>\n

[Whispered]<\/p>\n

See curiosity.<\/p>\n

[Build]<\/p>\n

Be wildered!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nBewildered
\n(Seek the answers)
\nBe wildered
\n(Mind dancers)<\/p>\n

\u2026 find the answers\u2026
\n(See curiosity)
\nBe wildered!<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the answer?
\n(Find the dancer)
\n[Pause]<\/p>\n

Inside of you<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]
\n(Knew point of view)
\nAbout to find out.<\/p>\n

Whereabouts<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Where about?<\/p>\n

Where are we going?
\n(With no one knowning)<\/p>\n

Where have we been?
\n(Tell me again)
\nAnd where\u2026<\/p>\n

Are we now?
\n(Wow!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nLost somewhere between the lines
\nLooking for a place to stand
\nFollowing a trail of signs
\nTrying hard to understand<\/p>\n

North is south
\nAnd up is down
\nSignals flying all around<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhere about
\n(Are your whereabouts)
\nOh, don\u2019t cry n\u2019 pout
\n(We\u2019ll figure it out)<\/p>\n

Everyone shouts:
\n(Beyond a doubt!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA map can show the road ahead
\nA compass points the way
\nBut neither tells you what to do
\nWith choices made today<\/p>\n

You can wander
\n(You can wonder)<\/p>\n

You can wait
\n(Hesitate)<\/p>\n

You can change
\n(Rearrange)<\/p>\n

Your destination
\nBefore it\u2019s too late
\n(At any rate)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhere are we?<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

Right here.<\/p>\n

Where do we go?
\n(Do you know)<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the question.
\n(Up for suggestion)<\/p>\n

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

Check it out
\n(Check it out!)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t mistake
\nA shout for doubt<\/p>\n

Find the facts
\n(Find the facts!)<\/p>\n

Find the track
\n(Find the track!)<\/p>\n

If you lose your way
\nThen circle back<\/p>\n

Left?
\n(Left!)<\/p>\n

Right?
\n(Right!)<\/p>\n

Which direction
\nFeels right?
\n(Into the light)<\/p>\n

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

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

Before you jump
\nTo the brink<\/p>\n

Everybody shouting
\n(Beyond a doubt!)<\/p>\n

But certainty
\nCan still be wrong<\/p>\n

Figure out
\n(Work it out!)<\/p>\n

What the evidence
\nIs about<\/p>\n

Then move along!
\n(And join in song)<\/p>\n

Where about\u2026<\/p>\n

[Whispered]<\/p>\n

Are your whereabouts?<\/p>\n

Oh, don\u2019t cry\u2026<\/p>\n

[Soft Response]<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t pout.<\/p>\n

[Lead Vocal]<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll figure\u2026<\/p>\n

[Response]<\/p>\n

\u2026 out why!<\/p>\n

[Build]<\/p>\n

Everyone shouts\u2026<\/p>\n

[Big Vocal]<\/p>\n

Beyond a doubt!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhere about
\n(Are your whereabouts)
\nOh, don\u2019t cry n\u2019 pout
\n(We\u2019ll figure it out)<\/p>\n

Everyone shouts:
\n(Beyond a doubt!)<\/p>\n

Where are you?<\/p>\n

Where are we?<\/p>\n

Whereabouts?<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n

Right here\u2026<\/p>\n

(See your way clear)<\/p>\n

Razor Sharp<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Careful\u2026<\/p>\n

That\u2019s sharp.<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

Really sharp.<\/p>\n

Careful\u2026
\n(Don\u2019t wanna become \u201cawful\u201d)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWalking on the edge
\nWith a razor in your hand
\nOne little wrong direction
\nAnd you might not understand<\/p>\n

Sharp ideas
\n(Sharp!)
\nSharp minds
\n(Sharp!)<\/p>\n

Cutting through the noise
\nAnd leaving doubt behind<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t confuse the bleeding edge
\nWith knowing where you stand
\nSometimes pushing forward
\nMeans knowing when to land<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nCut!
\n(Cut!)<\/p>\n

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

See what\u2019s really
\nComing to you!<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nOuch!
\n(Razor sharp)
\nI can vouch
\n(Ouch)<\/p>\n

Razor sharp!
\n(The bleeding edge)
\nSolemn pledge<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRazor sharp!
\n(Razor sharp!)<\/p>\n

Cutting through the haze<\/p>\n

Razor sharp!
\n(Razor sharp!)<\/p>\n

Lighting up the maze<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe future moves quickly
\nThe present can\u2019t keep pace
\nNew ideas arrive
\nAnd old ones lose their place<\/p>\n

You can sharpen up your thinking
\nYou can sharpen up your view
\nBut the sharper that the edge becomes
\nThe more it asks of you<\/p>\n

Stay aware
\n(Stay aware!)<\/p>\n

The bleeding edge
\nIs never safe out there<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOuch!
\n(Razor sharp)
\nI can vouch
\n(Ouch)<\/p>\n

[Rap Vocal Break]
\nRazor!
\n(Razor!)<\/p>\n

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

Cut through
\nThe static<\/p>\n

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

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

Bleeding edge
\n(Bleeding edge!)<\/p>\n

Leading edge
\n(Leading edge!)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference?
\nLook at the pledge<\/p>\n

Push the limit
\n(Push!)<\/p>\n

Test the claim
\n(Test!)<\/p>\n

If the answer
\nCan\u2019t survive the game
\n(It\u2019s not the best)<\/p>\n

Cut it!
\n(Cut!)<\/p>\n

Shape it!
\n(Shape!)<\/p>\n

Build a better
\nHuman landscape<\/p>\n

Ouch\u2026<\/p>\n

Razor sharp.<\/p>\n

I can vouch\u2026<\/p>\n

Ouch.<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

The bleeding edge\u2026<\/p>\n

Solemn pledge.<\/p>\n

RAZOR SHARP!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nOuch!
\n(Razor sharp)
\nI can vouch
\n(Ouch)<\/p>\n

Razor sharp!
\n(The bleeding edge)
\nSolemn pledge<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nRazor sharp!
\n(Razor sharp!)<\/p>\n

Cut through the doubt<\/p>\n

Razor sharp!
\n(Razor sharp!)<\/p>\n

Figure it out<\/p>\n

Sharp!<\/p>\n

Sharp!<\/p>\n

Razor sharp!<\/p>\n

[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n

Respect the edge.
\n(Respect the pledge)<\/p>\n

Sweet Spot<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

Why not?<\/p>\n

Why not find the place
\nwhere everything works out fine?
\n(At least most of the time)<\/p>\n

Not too much\u2026<\/p>\n

Not too little\u2026<\/p>\n

Right in the middle.<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nToo far left
\n(Too far!)
\nToo far right
\n(Too far!)<\/p>\n

Push too bizarre
\nAnd you lose the light<\/p>\n

Too much pressure
\nToo much heat
\nToo much running
\nIn the wrong heartbeat<\/p>\n

Find the flow
\n(Get in the know!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhy not\u2026
\n(Hit our sweet spot)
\nPerhaps we ought\u2026
\n(I mean\u2026 why not?)<\/p>\n

Sweeeet spot
\n(Sweet, sweet, sweet)
\nNo, no, no
\n(Know you can\u2019t beat)
\nThe sweet spot\u2026
\n(So hot)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSweet spot!
\n(Sweet spot!)<\/p>\n

Right where we belong<\/p>\n

Sweet spot!
\n(Sweet spot!)<\/p>\n

Where the balance feels strong<\/p>\n

Not too cold
\n(Not too old!)<\/p>\n

Not too hot
\n(Not too not!)<\/p>\n

Findin\u2019 the place
\nThat hits the spot!<\/p>\n

Sweet spot!
\n(Sweet spot!)<\/p>\n

Why not?<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA little less
\nCan give you more
\nA little change
\nCan open the door<\/p>\n

Less destruction
\n(More to gain!)
\nFind the balance
\n(Break the chain)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSweet!
\n(Sweet!)<\/p>\n

Spot!
\n(Forgot? Not!)<\/p>\n

Find the place
\nThat eye\u2019s the dot<\/p>\n

Findin\u2019 the place
\nIn the race<\/p>\n

Sanity (in humanity)<\/p>\n

Open up
\nAnother door<\/p>\n

(One more!)<\/p>\n

No fear!
\n(No fear!)<\/p>\n

Findin\u2019 the the way clear\u2026
\n\u2026 the choice\u2026 right here!<\/p>\n

Why not?
\n(Why not?)<\/p>\n

Perhaps we ought!<\/p>\n

I mean\u2026<\/p>\n

Why not?<\/p>\n

Why not\u2026<\/p>\n

Hit our sweet spot.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we ought\u2026<\/p>\n

I mean\u2026<\/p>\n

Why not?<\/p>\n

Sweeeet spot\u2026<\/p>\n

[Pause]<\/p>\n

Sweet\u2026<\/p>\n

Sweet\u2026<\/p>\n

Sweet spot.<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhy not\u2026
\n(Hit our sweet spot)
\nPerhaps we ought\u2026
\n(I mean\u2026 why not?)<\/p>\n

Sweeeet spot
\n(Sweet, sweet, sweet)
\nNo, no, no
\n(Know the dancin\u2019 beat)
\nThe sweet spot\u2026
\n(So hot)<\/p>\n

Sweet!<\/p>\n
