LYRICS
On the cusp of learning
At the break of day
Hope to grasp the meaning
Before it goes away
On the edge of knowledge
Coming on high-noon
Hope to gain advantage
To realize it soon

On the cusp of learning
Please don’t slip away
Hope at last the meaning
Before the end of day
On the verge of knowledge
Let me see the light
To the depths of mind, dredge
See the light before night

Can I see the light?
Can I can I can!

LYRICS
My father would say to me
Come on, Son
Try n’ get your facts straight
Bright one
My Mother would say to me
Come on, Son
Try n’ get your facts straight
Bright one
Is it too late?
At any rate…
How exactly is it done?
I don’t care if the battle’s won
If a loss is the war
I don’t want any more
No, no more!

My grand father would say to me (etc.)

LYRICS
If you’re searching for your heart
Then why not start?
Stop looking around
It’s been found
Not trying to hide on the outside
Look within
Where it’s always been
Look within

If you’re trying to find your heart
Then why not start
Where it’s always been
Look again!
Look again?
Not broken beyond repair
Look in there
Did you try looking in there?
Look in there!

LYRICS
Hey! Wait for me!
I’m just trying to see
What’s ahead… more clearly
Should you have an urge
To build a bridge
Or perhaps swerve
Around a curve

Say, “Wait for me!”
If you’re trying to see
Ahead more clearly
Should we have the urge
To converge
And figure how to yield
At the merge

Hey! Wait for we!
We’re just trying to be
What’s a head… more dearly
… more clearly

LYRICS
A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring

A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring
