What Is Going On?
I keep my head down
Keep moving along
Hope things will get better
Keep singing my song
It’s making me wonder
Am I all alone?
When did we wake up
In the twilight zone?
Somebody tell me
What is going on?

Supersonic Star
06:22
|
|||
|
I know it’s hard
You’ve gone so far
I ask
For more than my share this time
Show us where you are
Supersonic Star
Nothing’s been the same
Since you went away
Since time began
You’ve had the plan
I know
You can’t tell us everything

Fly
03:40
|
|||
|
I don’t know anything for certain
I don’t know anything at all
I cannot guarantee my thinking
It’s just an idea after all
We’ll fly straight to the sky
Never knowing why
We’ll fly so high
And we’re never gonna
Come around no more
I’m in no hurry to find out
I’m in no hurry at all
But I will be ready to head out
I will be ready to go

It's You
05:28
|
|||
|
I’ve been running all around the world
Looking out for the perfect one
And here- it’s you
I was knocking on every door
Not too sure what I was looking for
But now it’s you
All those miles behind me
All those days gone by
It surely came as a big surprise
When I looked into your eyes
To see- it’s you
I was staying out every night
And you were hiding here in plain sight
And now it’s you!

Make It Right
03:48
|
|||
|
Round and round the world goes
Where it stops no one knows
But we’ll all be getting off before too long
I don’t want to waste your time
Fighting about who is right
Could we just speak our minds and move along?
Don’t you want to get it right?
Do we really have to fight?
Don’t you want to get it right?
Seems that we’re all grownups now
Our minds don’t change much anyhow
But if we find some common ground that’s a start
We’re lucky just to be alive!
It makes no sense for us to fight
Time will tell how it all works out

Let It Go
02:58
|
|||
|
Just when things seemed perfect
Someone let you down
Broke you in a million pieces
And scattered you around
It’s all you ever think of
The darkness in your soul
Wondering if you’ll ever find
A way to make it whole
it’s time to let go
You don’t want to take another chance
You don’t think that love is coming back
Oh don’t believe it
You don’t want to take another try
Maybe now it’s time to change your mind
Oh believe it
Let it go
Life is so much chaos
A beautiful big mess
If you open up your heart
You might find happiness
It doesn’t come from money
Or a shiny brand new car
Being with the ones you love
Will take you to the stars
We’re going that far

I Can't Help Myself
06:16
|
|||
|
I am full of indecision
With problems left and right
I’ve got to cut through this confusion
So I can make it through the night
You’ve got to help me
'Cause I can’t help myself
I figured all the troubles
Would all work our someday
But they’re ticking like a timebomb
Gonna blow up in my face

Culture Wars
04:16
|
|||
|
This one’s left, and that one’s right
Seems like they just want to fight
It chews you up and spits you out
And we don’t even know what they’re talking about
Oh oh oh
Don’t know what they’re fighting for
No one wins a culture war
Most folks seem ok to me
We all deserve some dignity
Let’s not miss the good stuff please
Maybe we can live in peace
Don’t know what they’re fighting for
It’s time to end the culture war
No one’s perfect but we’re pretty good
Look around in your own neighborhood
With some grace and some respect
This could be the best generation yet
Don’t you know?

Making Life
04:53
|
|||
|
Mom and dad had a half baked plan
Living life in an old tin can
As long as there was a frying pan
Everything was fine
Emigrated to a big New World
Had a few more boys and girls
Dressed ‘em up in ties and pearls
And everything was fine
Oh, making life
Sent the children off to school
Spent the summer at the swimming pool
This one was the biggest fool
But things worked out just fine
Eventually they all ran off
Fell in love and all that stuff
Never going to get enough
But that’ll be just fine
Now they’re living everywhere
Up the shaft and down the stairs
No one cares what no one wears
Everything‘s just fine

Run
03:53
|
|||
|
I would give anything to find you
I would give anything to know
I would go anywhere
To bring you home
Life is a mystery you can’t solve
It’s a mystery so old
There are so many things
We’ll never know
Run like a wild one
Like you're never going to stop
Run like you can’t slow down
Till you find
You’re back at the start
