I Dunno<\/div>\n

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

From the album “I Dunno<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

I Dunno<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nI got a question
\n(What\u2019s the answer?)
\nI got a notion
\n(It involves locomotion)<\/p>\n

Round and round
\nThe world keeps turning
\nWe keep learning
\nAll along
\n(Sing the song:)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI dunno where the river bends
\nI dunno where the weather ends
\nI dunno what tomorrow brings
\nOr when the next bell rings<\/p>\n

But I know there\u2019s something
\nBigger than me
\nSomething we share
\nSomething we can be<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat?
\n(I dunno about that)
\nBut one thing\u2019s for sure
\n(Love can endure)<\/p>\n

Love your neighbor
\n(Love your planet)
\nYes! That\u2019s it
\n(Love love\u2026 love.)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nI dunno when the seasons will change
\nI dunno why we make the climate strange
\nI dunno every feedback loop
\nOr every molecule in the soup<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLove!
\n(Love!)
\nThat\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about
\nLove!
\n(Love!)
\nThat\u2019s what it comes above<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe I dunno
\n(That\u2019s okay!)
\nMaybe you don\u2019t know
\n(Not today!)<\/p>\n

We can ask
\nWe can learn
\nWe can listen
\nWe can turn<\/p>\n

When the answers aren\u2019t enough
\nThere\u2019s still one thing we know
\nYou can give it
\nYou can live it<\/p>\n

Love can grow!<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nWhat?
\n(I dunno!)
\nWhy?
\n(I dunno!)
\nWhen?
\n(I dunno!)
\nWhere?
\n(I dunno!)<\/p>\n

Who?
\n(All of us!)
\nWhat for?
\n(Love!)
\nWhat\u2019s the answer?
\n(Put love above)
\nLOVE!<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat?
\n(I dunno about that)
\nBut one thing\u2019s for sure
\n(Love can endure)<\/p>\n

Love the day
\n(Love the way)
\nYes! Love some more
\n(Love love\u2026 love.)<\/p>\n

(La-la-la!)
\n(Love love\u2026 love!)
\n(Love love\u2026 love!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat?
\n(I dunno about that)
\nBut one thing\u2019s for sure
\n(Love can endure)<\/p>\n

Love the night
\n(Love the light)
\nShining from above
\n(Love love\u2026 love.)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhat?
\n(I dunno\u2026)<\/p>\n

But one thing\u2019s for sure
\n(Love can endure)<\/p>\n

Love your neighbor
\n(Love your planet)<\/p>\n

Yes!
\n(That\u2019s it!)<\/p>\n

Love\u2026
\n(Love\u2026)
\nLove\u2026<\/p>\n

Lost and Found<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nI took a wrong turn
\n(Another bridge\u2026 burn)
\nFollowed every road
\n(Just increasing my load)<\/p>\n

Looking for an answer
\nI couldn\u2019t quite explain
\nChasing down a feeling
\nThrough sunshine, storm, and rain<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI was lost in the noise
\nLost in the crowd
\nLost in the questions
\nThat shouted too loud
\n[Refrain]
\nI was lost
\n(And\u2026 at what cost?)
\nNow I\u2019ve found
\n(The meanings in the sound)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nI found a little rhythm
\nIn the beating of the rain
\nFound a little harmony
\nOn the other side of the pain<\/p>\n

Found a voice in the distance
\nFound a hand reaching out
\nWanting to learn all about
\nMoving beyond fear and doubt<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLost and found
\n(Found and lost)
\nTurn it around
\n(What\u2019s the cost?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI was lost
\n(And\u2026 at what cost?)
\nNow I\u2019ve found
\n(The meanings in the sound)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhat if you don\u2019t know?
\n(I don\u2019t know!)
\nWhat if feel the flow?
\n(Say: That\u2019s okay!)<\/p>\n

We can learn together
\nWe can search around
\nIs the \u201cwhether\u201d
\n\u2026 hidden in the sound?<\/p>\n

And if we lose our way
\nWe don\u2019t have to stay
\nWe can turn around
\nAnd find another way<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\nListen to the sound\u2026
\n(Found all around\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI was lost
\n(And\u2026 at what cost?)
\nNow I\u2019ve found
\n(The meanings in the sound)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nLost and found
\n(Found and lost)
\nTurn it around
\n(Troubles? Tossed.)<\/p>\n

Loving others
\n(Like sisters\u2026 brothers)
\nListen to the sound
\n(The meaning\u2026 of\u2026 love)
\nOf love!<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nI was lost\u2026
\n(But now I\u2019ve found)<\/p>\n

I was lost\u2026
\n(And now I hear)
\nIt\u2019s right here
\n(Hear?!?!)<\/p>\n

The meaning\u2026
\n(In the sound)<\/p>\n

Found.<\/p>\n

Fork in the Road<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nMidnight rides
\n(Through the mist)
\nHooves pound hard
\n(What\u2019s that I missed?)<\/p>\n

A shadow crosses
\nThe moonlit road
\nSomething\u2019s coming
\n(Heavy load)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHeadless rider
\nOn a midnight ride
\nLooking for something
\nHe can\u2019t find outside<\/p>\n

He hears a voice
\nFrom somewhere near
\nTurns his horse
\nAnd disappears<\/p>\n

A little farther
\nDown the way
\nSomething strange
\nBegins to say:<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWho\u2019s got the answer?
\n(Who knows?)
\nWhere does the road go?
\n(Who knows?)<\/p>\n

Left or right?
\n(Which one tonight?)
\nPick your poison
\n(Hold on tight!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe headless horseman said:
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s that on the road\u2026\u201d
\n(A head)
\nDread\u2026
\n(If it is mine)<\/p>\n

This hairless ape\u2026
\n(Lookin\u2019 for an escape)
\n\u2026 in the nick of time<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nI saw the horseman
\nI saw the head
\nI saw him looking
\nAt what lay ahead<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThat\u2019s funny
\nI know that face\u2026\u201d
\nThen his horse
\nPicked up the pace<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that my head?\u201d
\n(He couldn\u2019t tell)
\n\u201cMaybe I\u2019m dreaming\u2026\u201d
\n(What the hell?)<\/p>\n

A head in the roadway
\nA horse in the night
\nA man with no head
\nTrying to make things right<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nCame to a fork
\n(In the road)
\nFeelin\u2019 like a dork
\n(Heart might explode)<\/p>\n

Left goes nowhere
\n(Right looks worse)
\nChoose your direction
\n(Or choose the curse!)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFork in the road!
\n(Fork in the road!)
\nWhich way to go?
\n(Which way to go?)<\/p>\n

A\u2026 Head on the road!
\n(Ahead on the road!)
\nWhat do you know?<\/p>\n

When the choices split
\nAnd the signs don\u2019t show
\nYou gotta pick a path
\nAnd let the other go<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nThe horseman points
\nTo the left-hand lane
\nThe ape says,
\n\u201cBuddy, are you insane?\u201d<\/p>\n

The horse goes right
\nWithout a word
\nThe rider screams
\n(That\u2019s absurd!)<\/p>\n

Found the answer
\nFirst, make the choice
\nHead to the light
\nHear your voice<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFork!
\n(In the road!)<\/p>\n

Fork!
\n(What\u2019s the code?)<\/p>\n

Ahead!<\/p>\n

(Where\u2019s your head?)<\/p>\n

Dread!<\/p>\n

(What he said!)<\/p>\n

Left!<\/p>\n

(Right!)<\/p>\n

Wrong!<\/p>\n

(Or right?)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nThe horseman rides
\nThe road divides
\nThe moon hangs low
\nThe river flows<\/p>\n

A head rolls left
\nA horse rolls right
\nThe ape runs screaming
\nInto the night!<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nFork in the road!
\n(Fork in the road!)
\nFeelin\u2019 like a dork!
\n(Heart might explode!)<\/p>\n

Ahead in the road!
\n(A head in the road!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThe headless horseman said:
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s that on the road\u2026\u201d
\n(A head)
\nDread\u2026
\n(If it is mine)<\/p>\n

This hairless ape\u2026
\n(Lookin\u2019 for escape)
\n\u2026 in the nick of time<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nFork in the road\u2026<\/p>\n

Pick a side\u2026<\/p>\n

Off with the pride!<\/p>\n

Seek<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat are you looking for?
\n(What do you seek?)
\nSomething you can\u2019t quite see?
\n(Or just a peek?)<\/p>\n

Round and round
\nThe questions go
\nHigher and higher
\n(Where they lead, the mind glows)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSneaking through the shadows
\nPeeking through the door
\nSearching for a little truth
\nThen searching for some more<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nSneak
\n(A peek)
\nSeek
\n(A peak)<\/p>\n

See\u2026 a glimpse
\n(Of reality)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nClimb the mountain
\nSee the view
\nStep back farther
\nSee what\u2019s true<\/p>\n

Zoom in close
\n(Granular!)
\nZoom back out
\n(To be sure)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSeek!
\n(Seek!)
\nDon\u2019t be afraid to look
\nSeek!
\n(Seek!)
\nBe the scribe for the book<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nSneak
\n(A peek)
\nSeek
\n(A peak)<\/p>\n

See\u2026 a glimpse
\n(Of reality)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSeek the signal
\n(Through the noise)
\nSeek the meaning
\n(Through the voice)<\/p>\n

Seek the question
\n(Seek the why)
\nSeek the answer
\n(Don\u2019t deny)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nSneak!
\n(A peek!)<\/p>\n

Seek!
\n(A peak!)<\/p>\n

Look!
\n(Closer!)<\/p>\n

Look!
\n(Farther!)<\/p>\n

What do you see?
\n(Can you tell me?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nSneak
\n(A peek)
\nSeek
\n(A peak)<\/p>\n

See\u2026 a glimpse
\n(Of reality)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhat are you looking for?<\/p>\n

(A little truth\u2026)<\/p>\n

What are you looking for?<\/p>\n

(A little proof\u2026)<\/p>\n

Sneak\u2026
\n(A peek\u2026)<\/p>\n

Seek\u2026<\/p>\n

And peak.<\/p>\n

Eat n’ Stuff<\/h2>\n

\n\"How
\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

[Intro]
\nWell, everybody\u2019s gotta eat
\n(That\u2019s right!)
\nSomething goes in
\n(Something comes out)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what this song\u2026
\n(Is about!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA little bit of breakfast
\nA little bit of lunch
\nA little bit of dinner
\n(And maybe just a bunch)
\n\u2026 right around brunch<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nYou can try to hold it
\nYou can try to hide
\nBut biology\u2019s got a schedule
\n(And it\u2019s coming from inside!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI had a bite to eat
\n(Once complete)
\nIt passed right through
\n(How about you?)<\/p>\n

In one end
\n(Out the other)
\nAlarms send
\n(Better save your mother)<\/p>\n

At any rate\u2026
\n(Can you accommodate)
\nAll you ate\u2026
\n(All that passes through you\u2026)
\n\u2026 and your brother\u2026
\n(And yet another\u2026.)
\nSon and daughter\u2026.
\n(Sister\u2026 and mother-n\u2019-law, too?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFood becomes energy
\nEnergy becomes heat
\nSome becomes your body
\nSome runs\u2026 in fleet<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nEat n\u2019 stuff!
\n(Stuff n\u2019 eat!)
\nLife is messy
\n(Sweet, sweet, sweet!)<\/p>\n

Eat n\u2019 stuff!
\n(Stuff n\u2019 eat!)
\nThe ends compete
\n(With the means\u2026)
\n\u2026 know what I mean?
\n(A mean scene)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhat goes in
\nMust come out!<\/p>\n

(Usually!)<\/p>\n

What goes up
\nMust come down!<\/p>\n

(Eventually!)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nEat!
\n(Chew!)
\nSwallow!
\n(Do!)
\n\u2026 as you do
\n(Do doo\u2026 do dee do doo\u2026 doo)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nEat n\u2019 stuff!
\n(Stuff n\u2019 eat!)
\nLife keeps moving
\n(Down the street!)<\/p>\n

In one end
\n(Out the other!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI had a bite to eat

\nHow about your neighbor
\n(How about a friend)
\nCan you handle more
\n(Then ever before)
\nOr will it be\u2026

About the Song: How much land do I need for my own shit?<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s homework assignment: How much land do I need for my own shit?<\/strong> (AKA The Eat n\u2019 Poop Experiment)<\/p>\n

Both literally and figuratively.<\/strong> This is an experiment I\u2019ve been working on for years. And when you actually try to do it\u2014when you have to think about where your food comes from, where your water comes from, and what happens to everything that comes out of you\u2014you gain a very different perspective. And yes, sometimes the experiment even comes down to a question like: Do I eat the worm, or don\u2019t I?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food and water are big problems. But getting rid of what comes out of you<\/strong> can be an even bigger problem.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been meeting quite a few other people who are \u201cdoing it\u201d\u2014trying to become more self-sufficient, reduce their dependence on centralized systems, and figure out what is actually required to sustain a human being. So I thought a good test for me would be to reevaluate the whole concept at two scales: Macro. And micro.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tonight is micro night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many acres do you need for your own shit?<\/h3>\n

A commonly cited homesteading rule of thumb is roughly 2\u20135 acres per person<\/strong> for a fairly self-sufficient setup\u2014but that\u2019s not a universal number. It depends enormously on your diet, soil, climate, water supply, livestock, energy needs, and how much of your waste you can safely recycle.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where it gets interesting.<\/p>\n

Food production:<\/strong> You might be able to produce a substantial amount of plant food on a fraction of an acre. Add grains, livestock, dairy, or meat, and the land requirement can increase dramatically.<\/p>\n

Water:<\/strong> You need a reliable source of potable water\u2014and potentially enough watershed, recharge area, storage, or infrastructure to keep that supply reliable.<\/p>\n

Waste:<\/strong> This is the part people tend to overlook. Your sewage system doesn\u2019t just need a place to put sewage. It needs soil, treatment capacity, separation from groundwater and drinking-water sources, and enough suitable land for the system to function safely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Pennsylvania, for example, wastewater land-treatment systems can require significant separation distances from private drinking-water wells. That means the geometry of the property<\/em> can matter almost as much as the number of acres.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the really interesting question:<\/p>\n

What if the waste isn\u2019t actually waste?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humanure, composting systems, graywater, nutrient cycling, orchards, biomass\u2026 At the right scale\u2014and with proper treatment\u2014some things we call \u201cwaste\u201d become inputs into another system.<\/p>\n

So tonight I\u2019m starting at the smallest possible unit: One human.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How much land does one human actually need to provide food, water, and a safe place to put\u2014or recycle\u2014everything that comes out of them?<\/p>\n

How many acres do you need for your own shit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then we\u2019ll scale it up. Because four people don\u2019t necessarily require four times the land. And four people sharing a watershed, a food system, and a waste-treatment system creates an entirely different problem.<\/p>\n

Tonight: micro. Next: macro.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow-Though<\/h2>\n

In New Zealand, Ganantchian Claire<\/strong> said: Human waste is a very easy \u201cproblem \u201c. Composting is super easy, safe, and valuable. Water of course depends where you are. Stream, or roof water are easy gravity fed, groundwater requires energy to bring it up. Food, acreage\u2026 as you say, depends entirely on your soil and climate. My opinion is a cow or a couple of goats are the easiest quickest way to get food security as milk covers all your needs. My experience is plants are great, but unreliable as crops can be devastated in a flash by pests or weather events. To avoid starvation, I would never give up my milking cow. One could actually survive with no land at all just walking a cow along the roadsides. A bit extreme, but why not?<\/p>\n

In Pennsylvania, USA, I replied: Nice! Thanks. \u201cReal food\u201d is the hardest thing in my environment as well, especially in the winter. When I say real food, I mean exactly what you said\u2014food security. Eating vegetation is not something I can do for any extended period, and winter makes that particularly difficult.<\/p>\n

Though your winters get cooler, I assume they aren\u2019t quite as extreme as Pennsylvania\u2019s, are they?<\/p>\n

This becomes particularly relevant when we get to the \u201cmacro\u201d experiment.<\/p>\n

You also raise another important point with your example of \u201cwalking a cow along the roadsides.\u201d In our experiment, we set it up as a game. One of the rules is that you can\u2019t use other people\u2019s land.<\/p>\n

That, too, depends on where you live\u2014and on what is considered public property versus private property. Ultimately, I think this is a debate that is likely to intensify as climate migration itself intensifies.<\/p>\n

As for waste management, this also appears to be heavily dependent upon location.<\/p>\n

In Pennsylvania, the largest long-term problem is waste management, followed by food, then water. But if you don\u2019t manage waste properly, water quickly becomes your biggest problem. Contamination of drinking-water supplies from inadequate or poorly located waste management has been a long-term issue.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, you needed at least 10 acres if you could not \u201cperc\u201d your lot.<\/p>\n

Collecting rainwater isn\u2019t necessarily a viable solution either. There simply isn\u2019t enough precipitation in many locations across the continental U.S. And in several states, there are legal restrictions on collecting or impeding the flow of water unless you specifically own the water rights.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what makes this experiment so interesting. The answer isn\u2019t just \u201cHow much land do I need?\u201d It\u2019s where is the land, what can it produce, where does the water come from, and where does the poo go?<\/p>\n

Who Fends for Themselves?<\/h2>\n

\n\"How
\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

[Intro]
\nHow much is enough?
\n(Enough for who?)
\nHow much can the land provide?
\n(And who gets to stay inside?)<\/p>\n

Count the acres
\n(Count the mouths)
\nCount the water
\n(Count the house)<\/p>\n

Count the children
\n(Count the kin)
\nThen ask the question\u2026<\/p>\n

(Who\u2019s out? Who\u2019s in?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA hundred acres
\nTwenty souls
\nThat\u2019s the number
\nThat\u2019s the goal<\/p>\n

Food and water
\nWood and heat
\nEnough to keep
\nThe whole thing neat<\/p>\n

\u2026 add another
\nAnd another
\nPretty soon
\nYou\u2019re counting cousins
\n(Who\u2019s in?)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nThe spreadsheet grows
\n(The numbers climb)
\nThe land stays put
\n(It\u2019s still the same size)<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t create
\nAnother acre
\nJust because
\nYou need it later<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhere to begin?
\n(Who\u2019s out\u2026 who\u2019s in?)
\nOnce it\u2019s thought about\u2026
\n(Who\u2019s in\u2026 who\u2019s out?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMom and Dad
\n(Bring them in)
\nFourteen people
\n(Here we begin)<\/p>\n

Sister, brother
\n(Bring them too)
\nPartners, children
\n(What do we do?)<\/p>\n

Twenty-five
\n(And counting!)
\nThe gate is closed
\n(The clock is sounding)<\/p>\n

There comes a moment
\nYou have to decide
\nWho gets a place
\nOn the inside<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWho fends for themselves?
\n(Who fends for themselves?)
\nWhen there\u2019s nowhere else
\n(And nobody helps)<\/p>\n

Who gets the water?
\n(Who gets the food?)
\nWho gets the shelter?
\n(Who\u2019s in the mood?)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to say
\n(Everybody comes!)
\nWhen everything\u2019s plentiful
\n(And there\u2019s plenty for everyone)<\/p>\n

But when the limits
\nFinally show\u2026<\/p>\n

(Who gets to stay?)
\n\u2026 I dunno just ain\u2019t gonna go<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDo you choose
\nThe oldest first?
\n(The youngest first?)
\nThe ones who work?
\n(The ones who hurt?)<\/p>\n

Do you choose
\nThe strongest hand?
\n(The smartest mind?)
\nThe ones you love?
\n(Or leave the choice behind?)<\/p>\n

What does \u201cfamily\u201d mean
\nWhen resources run thin?<\/p>\n

Is there an outside?
\n(Is there an in?)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nWho\u2019s in?
\n(Who\u2019s out?)<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s staying?
\n(Who\u2019s going?)<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s got some?
\n(Who\u2019s got none?)<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s got tomorrow?
\n(Who gets one?)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWho fends for themselves?
\n(Who fends for themselves?)
\nThat\u2019s the question we ask
\n(When the numbers don\u2019t match)<\/p>\n

Twenty people
\n(Then twenty-five)
\nHow many can we sustain?
\n(How many survive?)<\/p>\n

And when the capacity
\nFinally ends\u2026
\n(Who\u2019s family do we send?)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhere to begin?
\n(Who\u2019s out\u2026 who\u2019s in?)
\nOnce it\u2019s thought about\u2026
\n(Who\u2019s in\u2026 who\u2019s out?)<\/p>\n

Where to begin?
\n(Who\u2019s out\u2026 who\u2019s in?)<\/p>\n

The hardest calculation\u2026<\/p>\n

(Is who gets civilization.)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumental, Whistle Solo]
\nCount the future\u2026
\n(Are you sure?)<\/p>\n

And, what comes above?
\n(Count the love\u2026)<\/p>\n

About the Song
\nTonight\u2019s homework assignment: How much land do we need for all our shit?<\/p>\n

AKA: The \u201cWho Will Fend for Themselves?\u201d Experiment<\/p>\n

Last night was micro: How much land do I need for just me?<\/p>\n

Tonight is macro: How much land do we need for me, my family, and company?<\/p>\n

In two different experiments\u2014one in New Zealand and one in Pennsylvania\u2014families have been trying to find the answer.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, both case studies arrived at a remarkably similar result: if you can optimize the use of roughly 100 acres, you can support about 20 people, although toward the lower end of what we would consider a modern standard of living.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s when the bigger problem became evident.<\/p>\n

As part of our long-term planning, we had to determine who would be allowed to come live with us in a crisis such as climate change.<\/p>\n

There were eight of us. We figured our parents would need to be among the first to come. That added six, bringing us to 14. Then we started adding siblings, their partners, and their children. We quickly exceeded 25.<\/p>\n

So the real question became:<\/p>\n

Who gets invited?<\/p>\n

And who is left to fend for themselves?<\/p>\n

That sounds like an abstract thought experiment when you have plenty of land, food, water, and energy. It becomes a very different question when those resources have a hard limit. And as climate change accelerates\u2014and the number of grandchildren continues to grow\u2014these questions are no longer really about \u201cfuture generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are about our own descendants.<\/p>\n

They are the people who may actually have to confront the new realities we are leaving them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the part of the experiment I find hardest to calculate.<\/p>\n

Not how many people the land can sustain.<\/p>\n

But who gets to be one of them.<\/p>\n

Multiple Choice?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nA, B, C, or D
\n(Which one will it be?)
\nCircle one answer
\n(That\u2019s the key!)<\/p>\n

But what if none
\nOf the choices fit?
\nWhat if the answer
\nIsn\u2019t written in it?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI got a question
\nBut the question\u2019s strange
\nThe choices are changing
\nAs I rearrange<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIs this multiple choice?
\n(Do I get to pick and choose)
\nDo I get to raise a voice
\n(Determine win or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDo I get to question
\nThe question itself?
\nPut the answer back
\nUpon the shelf<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMultiple choice!
\n(Pick and choose!)
\nRaise your voice!
\n(You can\u2019t lose!)<\/p>\n

Ain\u2019t it funny
\nHow we know
\nOnly after
\nWhere we go?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nChoose!
\n(Win or lose!)<\/p>\n

Suggestion\u2026
\n(Question!)<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like
\nThe choices you see
\nDon\u2019t just complain
\n(Think differently!)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nA!
\n(B!)
\nC!
\n(D!)<\/p>\n

None of the above!
\n(Put love above!)<\/p>\n

Pick and choose!
\n(Pick or lose!)<\/p>\n

Raise your voice!
\n(Make a choice!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nIs this multiple choice?
\n(Do I get to pick and choose)
\nDo I get to raise a voice
\n(Determine win or lose?)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nA, B, C, or D\u2026
\n(Or maybe E?)<\/p>\n

The choice is yours
\n(To see)
\nTo be
\n(Set yourself free)<\/p>\n

Widgette<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat\u2019s that thing
\n(Over there?)
\nFancy little widget
\n(Becoming scarce\u2026 rare!)<\/p>\n

Is it useful?
\n(Is it not?)
\nDoes it matter
\n(What you\u2019ve got?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA widget is a wonder
\nA doodad with a name
\nA gizmo with a purpose
\n(For just a bit of game)<\/p>\n

But add a little fashion
\nAnd suddenly you bet
\nYou\u2019ve got a brand-new creature\u2026<\/p>\n

(What\u2019s a widgette?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat\u2019s a widgette?
\n(A female thingamabob)
\nAs in a Rockette?
\n(A placeholder\u2026)
\n(\u2026 for an economic job)<\/p>\n

With fashion\u2026 bolder!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nCould be supply and demand
\nCould be something on the shelf
\nCould be something you invented
\n(Just to entertain yourself)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nPut a price upon it
\n(Make it form a habit!)
\nGive it color and style
\n(So you\u2019ll wear it for a while)<\/p>\n

Call it what you want to
\nBut when the money\u2019s due\u2026
\n(That little widgette
\nMight be looking back at you!)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWidgette!
\n(What\u2019s she got?)<\/p>\n

Widgette!
\n(Quite a lot!)<\/p>\n

Fashion, function
\nPrice and pose
\nWho decides
\n(Who really knows?)<\/p>\n

Widgette!
\n(Strut your stuff!)<\/p>\n

Widgette!
\n(That\u2019s enough!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nMaybe she\u2019s a Rocket
\nMaybe she\u2019s a Rockette
\nMaybe she\u2019s a market
\nThat hasn\u2019t happened yet<\/p>\n

She\u2019s dancing through the data
\nShe\u2019s stepping through the stats
\n\u2026 pure accounting at the roots\u2026
\n(In high-heeled combat boots!)<\/p>\n

Price elasticity
\n(Shake it!)
\nMarginal utility
\n(Take it!)<\/p>\n

Supply curve
\n(Dip!)
\nDemand curve
\n(Flip!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIs she a product?
\n(Is she a price?)<\/p>\n

Is she a person?
\n(That don\u2019t sound right!)<\/p>\n

Is she an idea?
\n(Is she a threat?)<\/p>\n

Or just a funny little\u2026<\/p>\n

(Thingamabobette!)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nPick!
\n(Choose!)<\/p>\n

Buy!
\n(Use!)<\/p>\n

Sell!
\n(Trade!)<\/p>\n

Who made\u2026
\n(The grade?)<\/p>\n

A!
\n(B!)<\/p>\n

C!
\n(D!)<\/p>\n

None of the above!
\n(Better stick to love)<\/p>\n

[Verse 4]
\nNow fashion gets bolder
\nAnd economics gets weird
\nThe labels get fancy
\n(The margins disappear!)<\/p>\n

A widget becomes a widgette
\nA thing becomes a brand
\nA placeholder becomes somebody
\n(With a purse in her hand!)<\/p>\n

And suddenly the market
\nHas something new to sell\u2026<\/p>\n

(Well, what do you call it?)
\nWell, well, well<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWidgette!
\n(What\u2019s she got?)<\/p>\n

Widgette!
\n(Quite a lot!)<\/p>\n

Function, fashion
\nPrice and pose
\nShe\u2019s whatever
\n(Who knows?)<\/p>\n

Widgette!
\n(Strut your stuff!)<\/p>\n

Widgette!
\n(That\u2019s enough!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWhat\u2019s a widgette?
\n(A female thingamabob)
\nAs in a Rockette?
\n(A placeholder\u2026)
\n(\u2026 for an economic job)<\/p>\n

With fashion\u2026 bolder!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a widgette?
\n(Do I get to pick and choose?)
\nMaybe she\u2019s a widget
\n(With a different pair of shoes!)<\/p>\n

With fashion\u2026<\/p>\n

(BOLDER!)<\/p>\n

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

(Widgette!)<\/p>\n

Economic job\u2026<\/p>\n

(Widgette!)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask me what she is\u2026<\/p>\n

(I dunno!)<\/p>\n

Wow! There she goes
\n(Oh, oh, oh)
\nShe\u2019s got style\u2026
\n(Makes the shoppers smile!)<\/p>\n

If I Would Do That<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

I dunno
\n(If I would)
\nMaybe I should
\n(Maybe not)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a little voice
\nInside my head
\nSaying, \u201cThink twice!\u201d
\n(Before you\u2019re dead!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\n\u2026 see the road ahead
\nNow we\u2019ve made the bed
\n\u2026 see a warning sign
\n(By bad design)<\/p>\n

Future\u2019s hazy\u2026
\n(\u201cCome on, let\u2019s go!\u201d)
\nI say, \u201cAre you crazy?\u201d<\/p>\n

(I dunno!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI dunno
\n(If I would do that)
\nIt looks a bit dangerous
\n(For all of us)<\/p>\n

Do what?
\n(That.)
\nIt looks quite outrageous
\n(Not to mention\u2026 ominous)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe river\u2019s rising
\nThe bridge is shaking
\nThe ground is moving
\n(The mountain\u2019s breaking)<\/p>\n

Someone says
\n\u201cIt\u2019s probably fine\u201d
\nI look around and say:<\/p>\n

(Not this time!)<\/p>\n

The warning lights
\nAre flashing red
\nBut somebody\u2019s saying
\n\u201cGo ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always someone
\nWho wants to try
\nBut sometimes wisdom says:
\n(Don\u2019t lie!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nI dunno
\n(If I would do that)
\nIt looks a bit dangerous
\n(For all of us)<\/p>\n

Do what?
\n(That.)
\nIt looks quite outrageous
\n(Not to mention\u2026 ominous)
\n[Bridge]
\nDo what?
\n(That!)<\/p>\n

Why?
\n(Because!)
\n\u2026 what if it does<\/p>\n

(What if?)<\/p>\n

Hold on!<\/p>\n

(Wait!)<\/p>\n

Anticipate<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nDangerous!
\n(Whoa!)<\/p>\n

Outrageous!
\n(Whoa!)<\/p>\n

Ominous!
\n(Oh no!)<\/p>\n

Maybe\u2026
\n(We shouldn\u2019t go!)<\/p>\n

No. Know when to go
\n(With the flow)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nI dunno
\n(If I would do that)
\nIt looks a bit dangerous
\n(For all of us)<\/p>\n

Do what?
\n(That.)
\nIt looks quite outrageous
\n(Not to mention\u2026 ominous)<\/p>\n

I dunno\u2026
\n(I really don\u2019t know.)<\/p>\n

But before you blink\u2026<\/p>\n

(Let\u2019s think!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nI dunno
\n(If I would do that)
\nIt looks a bit dangerous
\n(For all of us)<\/p>\n

Do what?
\n(That.)
\n\u2026 quite outrageous
\n(Could kill all of us.)<\/p>\n

What’s He Thinking?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat\u2019s he thinking?
\n(Without even blinking?)
\nWhat\u2019s he been drinking?
\n(Kool-aid sinking?)<\/p>\n

Look at his face
\n(What a disgrace)
\nTalking so loud
\n(Playing to the crowd)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHe says he\u2019s got the answer
\n(Every answer!)
\nHe says he knows the way
\n(He knows the way!)<\/p>\n

But every time the facts arrive
\nHe sends them all away<\/p>\n

He builds himself a little world
\nWhere nothing can go wrong
\nThen anyone who questions it
\n(Just doesn\u2019t belong!)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIs it reason?
\n(Is it fear?)
\nIs it something
\n(We should hear?)<\/p>\n

When the warning signs
\nAre plain to see
\nWhy pretend
\n(That they can\u2019t be?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWhat\u2019s he thinking?
\n(Musta been kool-aid drinking)
\nSeems a bit mad
\n(Strikingly sad)<\/p>\n

Is his mind sound
\n(For that matter\u2026 even found?)
\nBetter look around<\/p>\n

Insanity
\n(Vanity)
\nTragically insane
\n(Lame\u2026 inane)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHe hears a warning
\n(Calls it noise)
\nHe sees the danger
\n(Calls it choice)<\/p>\n

He takes a little truth
\nAnd twists it out of shape
\nThen wonders why the evidence
\n(Just won\u2019t escape!)<\/p>\n

A mirror on the wall
\nReflecting what he wants to see
\nBut the image keeps on changing
\n(Back to reality!)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhat\u2019s he thinking?
\n(What\u2019s he thinking?)
\nMaybe we should ask
\nWhat\u2019s he drinking?
\n(What\u2019s he drinking?)
\nBefore we give him the task<\/p>\n

Of deciding for the many
\nWhat the many ought to do
\nWhen the consequences
\n(Come back through!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nInsanity!
\n(Vanity!)<\/p>\n

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

Look around!
\n(Listen up!)<\/p>\n

When the facts come knocking
\n(Will you begin\u2026 to let them in?)<\/p>\n

Or lock the door
\nAnd turn away?
\n(Once more\u2026)
\n\u2026 another day<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nIs his mind sound
\n(For that matter\u2026 even found?)
\nBetter look around<\/p>\n

Insanity
\n(Vanity)
\nTragically insane
\n(Lame\u2026)
\nReally quite a shame)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhat\u2019s he thinking?
\n(Musta been kool-aid drinking)
\nSeems a bit mad
\n(Strikingly sad)<\/p>\n

Is his mind sound
\n(For that matter\u2026 even found?)
\nBetter look around<\/p>\n

Insanity
\n(Vanity)
\nTragically insane
\n(Lame\u2026 never to regain)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhat\u2019s he thinking?
\n(Too much drinking)
\n\u2026 kool-aid\u2026
\n(and throwing shade)<\/p>\n

Gone bloody mad
\n(Tragically sad)<\/p>\n

Unkind\u2026 his mind
\n(Never to be found?)
\n\u2026 too late to look around<\/p>\n

In Question<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nQuestion, question
\n(What\u2019s the manifestation)
\nRound and round
\nThe questions spin
\nWhere do we end?
\n(Where do we begin?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nYou say the future\u2019s certain
\n(How do you know?)
\nYou say you\u2019ve got it figured out
\n(Where did you go?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIs your future
\n(In question?)
\nAre you \u201cfor sure\u201d
\n(Or open for suggestion?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDon\u2019t confuse uncertainty
\nWith having nothing planned
\nSometimes changing course
\nIs how you make a stand<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIs your future
\n(In question?)
\nAre you \u201cfor sure\u201d
\n(Or open for suggestion?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nLook a little closer
\n(See what you find)
\nChange the way you\u2019re thinking
\n(Change your mind!)<\/p>\n

Because \u201cI dunno\u201d
\nDoesn\u2019t mean \u201cI don\u2019t care\u201d
\nIt means I seek to know
\n(I\u2019m still aware)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nFor sure?
\n(No!)<\/p>\n

Certain?
\n(Not yet!)<\/p>\n

Written in stone?
\n(Not quite!)<\/p>\n

Open for suggestion?
\n(You bet!)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nIn question!
\n(In question!)
\nLet the question ring
\nIn question!
\n(What will tomorrow bring?)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nIs your future
\n(In question?)
\nAre you \u201cfor sure\u201d
\n(Or open for suggestion?)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nIs our future
\n(In question?)
\nIs truth so pure
\n(Or open for investigation?)<\/p>\n

Inquisitive<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat\u2019s that?
\n(What\u2019s this?)
\nWhat\u2019s what?
\n(Pop quiz)<\/p>\n

Look around
\n(What do you see?)
\nAsk again
\n(What could it be?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI want to know
\n(I want to know)
\nBefore I go
\n(Before I go)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s underneath
\n(The surface?)
\nWhat\u2019s beneath\u2026<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you\u2026
\n(Inquisitive)
\nOr is your brain
\n(Like a sieve)<\/p>\n

Do you\u2026
\n(Think)
\nOr refrain<\/p>\n

To sustain\u2026
\n(Be inquisitive)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA little curiosity
\nCan open up a door
\nA little more attention
\nCan show you something more<\/p>\n

Connect one dot
\n(Then another)
\nLook for the pattern
\n(Stealth\u2026 undercover)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you\u2026
\n(Inquisitive)

[Bridge]
\nQuestion!

Wonder!
\n(Why?)<\/p>\n

Suggestion:
\n(Kiss the sky!)<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to know
\nTo start the quest
\nYou just have to wonder:<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nThink!
\n(Wink!)<\/p>\n

Seek!
\n(Peak!)<\/p>\n

\n(What\u2019s the effect?)<\/p>\n

Not \u201cbecause\u201d

[Final Chorus]

Don\u2019t just hear the answer\u2026<\/p>\n

(Question what you believe!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhat\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

(I dunno.)<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

(I wanna know.)<\/p>\n

How?<\/p>\n

(Let\u2019s find out\u2026)

What I Know<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nI\u2019ve learned a thing or two
\n(Along the way)
\nSome things that were true
\n(Are different today)<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know everything
\n(Who could?)
\nBut I know a little something
\n(That is pretty good)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nYou can have a pocket full
\nOf dollars and gold
\nBut there\u2019s one kind of treasure
\nThat can\u2019t be bought or sold<\/p>\n

You can build a castle
\nWith a wall ten miles wide
\nBut hope needs a doorway
\n(For love to get inside)<\/p>\n

You can measure your fortune
\nYou can count every dime
\nBut money can\u2019t purchase
\n(A moment in time)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSo when the numbers don\u2019t add up
\nAnd the road gets rough
\nLook around you
\n(You may already have enough)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is what I know:
\n(Money can\u2019t buy you hope)
\nNope!<\/p>\n

Come on\u2026 give \u2018er a go!
\n(Love helps hope grow)
\nSo\u2026<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be proud
\n(Love out loud)
\nGo on\u2026 live!
\n(Love! Give, give, give)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nGive a little kindness
\n(Give a little more)
\nOpen up your heart
\n(Open up the door)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis is what I know:
\n(Money can\u2019t buy you hope)
\nNope!<\/p>\n

Come on\u2026 give \u2018er a go!
\n(Love helps hope grow)
\nSo\u2026<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be proud
\n(Love out loud)
\nGo on\u2026 live!
\n(Love! Give, give, give)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nPride wails:
\n\u201cI\u2019m the legend of the tales\u201d<\/p>\n

(Love sings:

Unfathomable<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nHow far below?
\n(How far?)
\nDo you know?
\n(How bizarre?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nYou think you\u2019ve seen the bottom
\n(But there\u2019s another floor)
\nYou think you\u2019ve found the answer
\n(Then you discover more)<\/p>\n

Nonsense<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nMaybe yes
\n(Maybe no)
\nPerhaps neither
\n(Or even either?)<\/p>\n

Round and round
\nThe arguments go
\nEveryone\u2019s certain
\n(But do they know?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThere\u2019s a line in the middle
\n(Where nobody stands)
\nOne foot in reason
\n(One foot in the sands)<\/p>\n

You can balance forever
\n(And call it a stance)

[Refrain]
\nNo, not on the fence
\n(Nonsense)
\nConsider the scope

\n(You fall)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe bigger the picture
\nThe smaller the claim
\nThe more that you measure
\nThe harder the game<\/p>\n

One little number
\nCan tell you a lot
\nBut one little number
\n(Is all that you\u2019ve got?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nNo, not on the fence
\n(Nonsense)

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Maybe yes\u2026<\/p>\n

Secret Ingredient<\/h2>\n

\nWhat\u2019s in the mix?
\n(Rock n\u2019 hard place betwixt)

[Verse 2]
\nCould it be the courage
\nTo prove what we know?

\n(Can you feel it?)
\nAre you aware
\n(Even a little bit?)<\/p>\n

A little connection
\nA little reaction
\nOne tiny flash
\n(Can start an interaction)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nFrom point to point
\nThe signal flies
\nAcross the space
\nBefore your eyes<\/p>\n

You touch a wire

\nA little charge
\n(And then it comes!)<\/p>\n

A sudden jolt
\nA little surprise

Wax Museum<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStep inside
\n(Don\u2019t be afraid)
\nEverybody\u2019s smiling
\n(Everybody\u2019s made)<\/p>\n

Standing still
\n(Standing still)
\nWaiting for the room to turn
\n(Waiting for the thrill)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI walked through the doorway
\nAnd something felt strange
\nA face not familiar
\nYet nobody changed<\/p>\n

Eyes looking forward
\nA smile painted on
\nI wondered for a moment
\n(Where had everybody gone?)<\/p>\n

A hand on the shoulder
\nA pose frozen tight
\nYou could swear they were breathing
\n(But they never moved right)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIs this a reflection
\n(Is this reality?)
\nAm I just observing
\n(What I\u2019m supposed to see?)<\/p>\n

If everybody\u2019s certain
\n(But nobody knows)
\nHow do you tell the difference
\n(When nobody shows?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDo you feel
\n(Like I am\u2026)
\n\u2026 in a wax museum?<\/p>\n

Are you real
\n(The real deal)
\n\u2026 or muse-dumb?<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAm I the statue
\nAnd you\u2019re the guide
\n\u2026 we\u2019re both pretending
\n(There\u2019s nothing here to hide)<\/p>\n

A little bit of vanity
\nA little bit of fame
\nA frozen little likeness
\n(And somebody\u2019s given it a name)<\/p>\n

But outside the museum
\nThe real world carries on
\nThe river keeps on flowing
\n(Even when the lights are gone)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWax museum
\n(Wax museum)
\nI\u2019m supposing\u2026
\n(Everybody\u2019s posing)<\/p>\n

Real deal

Muse-dumb
\n(Muse-dumb)
\nLost inside the room
\nWhen you\u2019re staring at the statue

Dawning on Me<\/h2>\n

\nSomething\u2019s changing
\n(What could it be?)
\nA little light
\n(Is dawning on me)<\/p>\n

I looked away

\nThe thing I sought
\n(Was looking at me)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWoke up this morning
\nWith a thought in my head
\nSomething I\u2019d heard
\n(Something somebody said)
\nCould be coincidence
\nCould be a sign
\nCould be the future
\n(Catching up with time)<\/p>\n

I took a step
\nThen another one

\n(Hard to understand!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nIs your destiny
\n(A mystery)
\nOr do you plan
\n(To understand)<\/p>\n

Is your history
\n(A mystery)
\nIs Man\u2019s plan
\n(Hard to understand)<\/p>\n

Is your destiny\u2026
\n(History?)<\/p>\n

Is your history\u2026
\n(A mystery!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nMan\u2019s plan?<\/p>\n

(Hard to understand.)<\/p>\n

Mystery\u2026
\n(Turns to history)<\/p>\n

Requests?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStep right up\u2026
\n(What can I do?)
\nGot a question?
\n(I got one too)<\/p>\n

Pull up a chair
\n(Anywhere)
\nGot something on your mind?
\n(Well\u2026 let\u2019s see what we can find)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDo you want a melody?
\n(A little harmony)
\nA song about the weather?
\n(Or getting things together)<\/p>\n

A tune about the truth?
\n(A little more uncouth)
\nA rhyme about the reason?
\n(For every changing season)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nYou ask\u2026
\n(I\u2019ll try)
\nYou wonder\u2026
\n(Why?)<\/p>\n

You make a request
\n(I\u2019ll do my best)
\nBut if I don\u2019t know\u2026
\n(Well, there you go)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDo you take requests?
\n(Give it a go)
\nMight I suggest\u2026
\n(One that I know)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nRequest a little wisdom
\n(Where can I get some?)
\nRequest a little laughter
\n(What happens after?)<\/p>\n

Request a better answer
\n(Perhaps another dancer)
\nRequest a way to choose
\n(When there\u2019s nothing left to lose)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDo you take requests?
\n(Oh, I dunno\u2026 giver \u2018er a go)
\nMight I suggest\u2026
\n(One that I know)<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nCan I request a better world?
\n(A little less absurd)
\nA planet we can share?
\n(Where humane humanity is there.)<\/p>\n

Can I request some peace?
\n(And maybe wars decrease)
\nCan I request some love?
\n(Enough to rise above)<\/p>\n

Can I request a clue?
\n(About what we should do)
\nCan I request a sign?
\n(That the future might be fine)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhat if I request\u2026
\n(A little more patience)
\nWhat if I suggest\u2026
\n(A new expectation)<\/p>\n

What if the answer\u2026
\n(Isn\u2019t an answer at all?)
\nWhat if the question\u2026
\n(Is the reason we call?)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nDo you take requests?
\n(Yes, I do!)
\nGot a good suggestion?
\n(Yes! This one is for you!)<\/p>\n

Love our evolution!
\n(Love our planet!)
\nAsk the question!
\n(Then understand it!)<\/p>\n

Requests\u2026
\n(Send \u2019em my way)
\nRequests\u2026
\n(Any time of day)<\/p>\n

A little truth\u2026
\n(A little play)
\nA little something\u2026
\n(To brighten the day)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nDo you take requests?
\n(Give it a go)
\nMight I suggest\u2026
\n(One that I know)<\/p>\n

Do you take requests?
\n(Ask me again)
\nMight I suggest\u2026
\n(Question your question, my friend)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOne more request?
\n(What\u2019s that?)
\nCan I request\u2026
\n(A little more love?)<\/p>\n

Of love\u2026
\nWith love
\nWe\u2019ll rise above\u2026
\n(Love, love, love)<\/p>\n

Do You<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nDo you know?
\n(Yes or no?)<\/p>\n

Do you wonder?
\n(Do you ponder?)<\/p>\n

Do you ask yourself\u2026
\n\u2026 hey!
\n(What\u2019s really going on?)
\n\u2026 say\u2026
\nDo you?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDo you look beyond
\nWhat is right in front of you?
\nDo you question what you hear
\nWhen somebody says it\u2019s true?<\/p>\n

Do you listen for the answer
\nWhen the question isn\u2019t clear?
\nDo you recognize the signal
\n(When the meaning\u2019s hiding here?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\n(Oh, oh, oh)
\nDo you know
\n(Do you?)
\n\u2026 tell me true
\n(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Do you care
\n(Do you?)
\nAre you aware
\n(Care to share?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDo you care about tomorrow
\nWhen tomorrow isn\u2019t here?
\nDo you care about the people
\n\u2026 with what we leave here?<\/p>\n

Do you care enough to wonder
\nWhat your choices really mean?
\nDo you see beyond the moment
\n(To the consequences unseen?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\n(Oh, oh, oh)
\nDo you know
\n(Do you?)
\n\u2026 tell me true
\n(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Do you care
\n(Do you?)
\nAre you aware
\n(Care to share?)<\/p>\n

\u2026 are you even there?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDo you
\n(See through)<\/p>\n

Do you dare?
\n(Do you care?)<\/p>\n

Do you listen?
\n(Do you share?)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nOh, oh, oh\u2026
\nSo\u2026 do you?
\n(Point of view)<\/p>\n

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

Care!
\n(Dare)
\nTo care
\n(Share!)<\/p>\n

(Do you?)
\nLook around!
\nSee what\u2019s found
\n(Do you?)
\nPurview
\n(Do you?)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\n(Oh, oh, oh)
\nDo you know
\n(Do you?)
\n\u2026 tell me true
\n(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Do you care
\n(Do you?)
\nAre you aware
\n(Care to share?)<\/p>\n

Do you know?
\n(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Will you go?
\n(Oh, oh, oh)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nDo you?
\n(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Tell me true\u2026<\/p>\n

(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Do you care?<\/p>\n

(Do you?)<\/p>\n

Are you aware?<\/p>\n

(Care to share?)<\/p>\n

Share you, too?<\/p>\n

I Due Know<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhen I was just a little kid
\n(I did what I did)
\nMy folks had something to say
\n(Still with me to this day)<\/p>\n

Life isn\u2019t free
\n(There\u2019s always a due)
\nAnd what you give
\n(Comes back to you)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPapa taught me early
\nBefore I could count
\nEach and every promise
\n(Has to be accounted)<\/p>\n

Pay your debts
\n(Do what\u2019s due)
\nKeep your word
\n(See it through)<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need a fortune
\nYou don\u2019t need fame
\nJust keep your conscience
\n(Clear of the blame)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nPapa always said:
\n(Son, don\u2019t forget\u2026)
\nBe true\u2026 pay what\u2019s due
\n(No debt. No regret.)<\/p>\n

From the first day
\n(Of my birth on Earth)
\nMy mama would say
\n(Son, \u2019till you\u2019re dead)
\nBe true\u2026 pay what\u2019s due
\n(No debt. No regret.)<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t forget\u2026
\n(Oh, no, no, no)
\nI due know
\n(Sooo\u2026.)
\nYou bet\u2026
\n(Do what\u2019s due)
\nI do\u2026<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMama had another lesson
\nThat I learned along the way
\nWhat you do to someone else
\n(Can come back another day)<\/p>\n

Give a little kindness
\nWhen kindness is required
\nDon\u2019t leave somebody stranded
\n(When they\u2019re already tired)<\/p>\n

Pay attention
\n(Pay your dues)
\nPay respect
\n(That\u2019s your cue)<\/p>\n

Cause the greatest debt
\nIsn\u2019t money in a book
\nIt\u2019s the credit of having cared
\n(And giving when you could)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI due know!
\n(I do!)<\/p>\n

What is due!
\n(What to do)<\/p>\n

I due know!
\n(I do!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDue to you!
\n(Due to me!)<\/p>\n

Due to them!
\n(Due to we!)<\/p>\n

What we borrow
\n(What we use)<\/p>\n

What we leave
\n(What we choose)<\/p>\n

Earth gives us
\n(What we need)<\/p>\n

What we owe her
\n(What we heed)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nDo you know?
\n(I do!)<\/p>\n

Do you care?
\n(Me, too!)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s due?
\n(We\u2019ll do!)<\/p>\n

No debt!
\n(No regret!)<\/p>\n

Be true!
\n(Do what\u2019s due!)<\/p>\n

I due know!<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nPapa always said:
\n(Son, don\u2019t forget\u2026)
\nBe true\u2026 pay what\u2019s due
\n(No debt. No regret.)<\/p>\n

\nBe true\u2026 pay what\u2019s due
\n(No debt. No regret.)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nI won\u2019t forget\u2026 (wont regret)
\n(Oh, no, no, no)
\nI due know
\n(Sooo\u2026.)
\nYou bet\u2026 (won\u2019t forget)
\n(Do what\u2019s due)
\nWill you\u2026<\/p>\n

Fleeting<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nHere for a moment
\n(Then gone from sight)
\nA thought in the morning
\n(Away by night)<\/p>\n

You try to hold her
\n(You try to stay)
\nBut time keeps moving
\n(And carries her away)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA little idea
\nCan enter your mind
\nYou reach out to catch it
\n(But it\u2019s already behind)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe thought\u2026
\n(Fleeting)
\nIt\u2019s not\u2026
\n(Completing)<\/p>\n

Fly, fly, fly
\n(Why goodbye?)
\nFly away
\n(Fly, fly, fly)
\nLet\u2019s hear you say:
\n(Fly, fly, fly)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYesterday\u2019s thought
\nIs tomorrow\u2019s clue
\nSomething you wondered
\n(Suddenly comes true)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFleeting!
\n(Here and gone!)<\/p>\n

Moving!
\n(Traveling on!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe thought\u2026
\n(Fleeting)
\nIt\u2019s not\u2026
\n(Completing)<\/p>\n

Fly, fly, fly
\n(Why goodbye?)
\nFly away
\n(Fly, fly, fly)
\nThe sky way
\n(Fly, fly, fly)<\/p>\n

Fly, fly, fly
\n(Don\u2019t ask why)
\nFly away
\n(It\u2019s okay)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Percussion Break]<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nFly!
\n(Fly!)<\/p>\n

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

Fly away!
\n(Fly today!)<\/p>\n

Why\u2026
\n(\u2026 goodbye?)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThe thought\u2026
\n(Fleeting)
\nIt\u2019s not\u2026
\n(Completing)<\/p>\n

Fly, fly, fly
\n(Why goodbye?)
\nFly away
\n(Fly, fly, fly)
\nFlew today
\n(Fly, fly, fly)<\/p>\n

The thought\u2026
\n(May begin again)
\n\u2026 why not?<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThe thought\u2026
\n(Fleeting)
\nIt\u2019s not\u2026
\n(Completing)<\/p>\n

Fly, fly, fly
\n(Why goodbye?)
\nFly away
