When I look your way I can see the future calling
I can see it today:
You’re standing by my side, holding my hand
Won’t you look my way?
Just a glance in my direction
Can I catch your eye?
We are like two chemicals — we’re stronger when combined
I can’t reach my fullest force without your hand in mine.
Every subject, every lecture
No matter what I do
This class is not about general chemistry
It’s about me and you
Just a glance in my direction
Can I catch your eye?
We are like two chemicals — we’re stronger when combined
I can’t reach my fullest force without your hand in mine.
Will you share your electrons with me?
We’ll form a stable compound, you see.
I’ve got that energy of activation
If only I could reach your heart
We could move into transition state
Let this reaction start
Just a glance in my direction
Will you look my way?
We are like two chemicals — we’re stronger when combined
I can’t reach my fullest force without your hand in mine.

I could be in Kansas City for all I know
You could say I’m at a loss for which way to go
And then up walks the Queen of Public Transportation
And she knows, yeah she knows
I’m not sure which bus will take me to where I go
I think maybe my bus went by here a minute ago
And then up walks the Queen of Public Transportation
And she knows, yeah she knows
She knows the schedule like it’s written on her forehead
And she knows, she always knows
She knows her latitude and longitude like her birthday
And she knows, yeah she knows
I’m not sure I’m on the right bus to take me home
It could take me some dreadful place and leave me all alone
And then up walks the Queen of Public Transportation
And she knows, yeah she knows
She’s collecting city bus schedules like they’re trading cards
And she knows, she always knows
I feel like I’m coming to a transfer point in life
Will you meet me there? Will you be my wife?
And if I paid your fare, would you come with me?
Will you be my love for eternity?

Explore the Mind Cavern
It’s the place your thoughts are born
Dreams, they flow like rivers
Intellect is slow to form
What makes you feel this way, freezing when life is here today?
Hurry to sit on the fence, spectator for your life’s events
What do you think you’ll find within the rivers of your mind?
In the Mind Cavern
In the Mind Cavern
Have you been to every chamber?
Do you really know what’s there?
Have you examined every object?
Walked every tunnel, everywhere?
Where are the turning points — the things that will define you?
And where are the chains — the things that will confine you?
And where are the crucibles — the things that will refine you?
Can you find them
In the Mind Cavern?
Over in the darkest corner,
Something you’d rather just forget
‘Cause it reveals your greatest weakness
Can you conceal your worst regret?
Or pull it from the darkness, and examine in the light
Does it help to hide this sorrow? Or is it good to keep in sight?
But it won’t go away; this memory will emerge again someday
From the Mind Cavern

Thorn in My Side
04:35

There is a thorn in my side
The pain can’t be denied
The cause is my own pride
There is a thorn in my side
My pride is wrecking my heart,
Ripping my bones apart,
Throwing that fiery dart
My pride is wrecking my heart
When I rise to start the day
Get on my knees and I pray
For some deliverance from this sin
I so carelessly let in
CHORUS
I feel lifting of my burden
When I ask The Lord His pardon
In sincerity, in pain
The Lord puts me whole again
CHORUS
So I know that every midnight
Fades to shadow in the daylight
So we too can rise once more
Though my weak legs still are sore
CHORUS

Love & Kindness
04:18

These days there’s so much isolation
Clouds of anger in the skies
Intolerance infects the masses
Obscures many people’s eyes
Let’s have some love & kindness today
But you and I can make a difference
Share our light in this small space
Let’s lift a hand to every person
Despite our faith, ideals, or race
Let’s have some love & kindness today
Let’s put a stop to all this hatred
Hold all rude comments thrown online
Let’s choose safe outlets for frustration
Then we’ll all be feeling fine
Let’s have some love & kindness today
I know this issue isn’t simple
Still, inaction fails outright
When arguments are turned to violence
May we help to put things right
Let’s have some love & kindness today
Well, you can turn your lead to bullets
Or you can turn your lead to gold
You can have war if you pay the price
But love can’t be bought or sold
Do you really love your brother?
Can we all forgive each other?
Let’s have some love & kindness today
Let’s open up our blindness today
It’s time to break our silence today
Let’s stop all of this violence today

Spark in the Night
03:53
|

You say, “We’re in trouble.
It’s a mess the world is in.”
You say, “We can’t fix it.
Chuck the whole thing in the bin.”
It’s a spark in the night
That grows to the morning light
Don’t give up the fight
There’s a brighter day in sight
There’s a better day headed our way
I say, “It’s all over.
No use in trying again.”
I say, “Heaven help us!
Nobody knows where to begin.”
We’re lost in the tide
Without anywhere to hide
But stand and look wide
It’s the sun on the mountain side
There’s a better day headed our way
What, then, is the lesson
That we learn from adversity?
Faith, hope, appreciation
Work hard, and we’re starting to see
A spark in the night
That grows to the morning light
Don’t give up the fight
There’s a brighter day in sight
There’s a better day headed our way
We’re turning a spark into a day

I'm Getting Better
04:47
|
|||
|
I’m learning
I’m getting better
I’m getting better all the time
There was a time when life had got me low
So much to learn, but learning was much too slow
All of my worries didn’t help me grow
And I beat myself up for the things that I did not know
(Chorus)
I tried to fit in a place I don’t belong
And it seemed like everything I did was wrong
Those days were hard, and the nights were long
When I felt down, then I sang this song
(Chorus)
I can feel that pressure rising
Don’t know how much more of this I can take
But I’m getting better
Every day I’m making progress
I’m gonna stand up and face this
And I’m gonna come out on top!
In time a change began in me
So slow that I could barely see
All of that pressure, constantly
Made a metamorphosis of me
(Chorus)
