They said there’s just a mile to go
“The last mile”
They said come on don’t you know
Mile wide smile
Then my throat garners a lump
Knowing we our over the hump
And my heart begins to swell
Knowing it all works out well
Ah ha, ah ha

I heard there’s just a mile to go
“The last mile”
I said let the whistle blow
Crank the dial
Knowing we our over the hump
And my heart begins to swell
Knowing it all works out well
Ah ha, ah ha

Have you heard there’s just a mile to go
“The last mile”
You say let the music flow
Dialed up style
Knowing we our over the hump
And my heart begins to swell
Knowing it all works out well
Ah ha, ah ha

LYRICS
With will there’s a way
The way is freewill
Dropping of jaws
Wizard of Oz
What are the odds
Clashing of Gods!

You want freedom to stay?
Yet, you’ve had your fill
Of pissing away
With will there’s a way
The way is freewill
Dropping of jaws
Wizard of Oz
What are the odds
Clashing of Gods!

Into the zone of “own your own”
The “me, me, me-eese” are overblown
Come into the known
There is no alone

LYRICS
Rivers raging
Blood boiling
Upstaging
Recoiling
The time for time
Slipping
The yelp for help
Fading
Look up to the sky?
Look into the “I”
Are you where you are?
You have come how far?
Gathered rather
Stones thrown
Maybe the skies will open
And we’ll be saved
All the faith and hopin’
Enslaved to how we behaved

LYRICS
Time keeps rolling on
Better jump on
Or move way
Time keeps rolling along
Better jump back
Attack
Or sway
Sway in good time
Move to the music
Make the moment fine
Sure to make the movement stick
In our thick
In the thick of it
When the fan meets the $hit…
In the thick of it
When the fan meets the…
Quit?
No, never quit!
Sway in good time
Move to the music
Make the moment fine
Sure to make the movement stick
In our thick

LYRICS
Do you need to take a break?
Take it all in?
For God’s sake!
A little too late
Should do that before we begin

Shouldn’t we jump out of the way
’cause getting run over ain’t O.K.
Why are we still walking
In the emperor’s clothing
Why are we still walking
… in the way
Something about does, you’s, do’s, blues
And “the price you pay”
Why are we still walking
… in the way

LYRICS
Know the optimist
Grow the optimism
Go with the optimistic flow
Why not give it a try
And, fly to the optimist’s high

Invest in hope
Divest the nope
Defy the odds of the slope
Why not give it a try
And, fly to the optimist’s high

Digest the yes
Forego the no
Less mess the more that you know
Why not give it a try
And, fly to the optimist’s high

Hit or miss
Aim for bliss
Nature’s kiss
On the lips

Takin’ a body for a ride
This is bliss
Feelin’ love you can’t hide
Hate to miss

Never miss
Effortless
Make a wish
Hit or miss

LYRICS
Bleeding through
Beating true

Bleeding through… here
I can’t help but notice
The tear in your fear
Is bleeding through… here
I can’t help but say
In the foray
Of your hooray
The fray…
Shredded
Dreaded…
Is up to you
True.

Bleeding through
Bleeding hearts
Bleeding through
Hearts beat true
Bleeding through
Beating true

LYRICS
What am I waiting for?
Already holding the door
More than ready, that’s for sure
Didn’t ya hear me all the times before?
Hard to believe, yet it’s true
All this time I’ve been waiting for you

I could see what’s in store
Said, “No more, no, no more!”
Held it steady… prayed I’d endure
Off to save our future
Hard to believe, yet it’s true
All this time I’ve been waiting for you
