Bring on some brand new future
I’m in need of something new
Sing of times grand
When love is pure

Grow to grew

Fly to flew

Show shapes of things to come
Please lead us to the view
Show us the stakes
Of leaving…
Love undone
(Shape of things to come… love left undone)
The time is now
Grow to grew
The time is high
Fly to flew

Raise up the curtain of certain
I’m in need of something knew
Bring on the time of human
When love is true
The time is now
Grow to grew
The time is high
Fly to flew

LYRICS
They say his heart cubed that day
From that day forever clued
Heart’s been cubed (Heart³)
Forever clued

He never would behave that way
Once his heart grew that day
From that day forever clued
Heart’s been cubed
Forever clued

Feel the hate just fade away
(Hate dissipate)
Now that your love made way
Heart’s been cubed
Forever clued

… on a sleigh ride?
Ho, ho, ho…. no.
You’ll split my side
Have you ever been sledding?

Heading downhill
Until…
The fire dies upon our frozen sighs

Put others first

My fellow gentlemen
Are you weary of soul?
And all you women
Did the world take it’s toll?
Well, there’s a star
With a tail so long
If you follow her
You can’t go wrong
No matter where you are
There’s a star

People of all ages
Have you had enough
Of hanging tough
Both young and old
The story’s told
Come in from the cold
Well, there’s a star
With a tail so long
If you follow her
You can’t go wrong
No matter where you are
There’s a star
