As I was taught to lead
I was fed well On what had come before Everyone who had ever lived Left a lesson Regarding what's in store They were just like you and me Guessing their asses off Oh yes, they tried to guess well It's our turn now, I hope we're forgiven Chalk it up to knowledge and change And life itself And as I shall learn to follow I'll feed the leaders With everything I can They'll bring revolutions That try as I may I just won't understand They will be just like you and me Pretending they're not guessing As if we couldn't tell It'll be their turn then, I hope we can forgive them Chalk it up to knowledge and change And life itself It seems a cycle that we all seem to share The passing from hand to hand of our pride and despair Both parent and child cry apathy but everybody cares And then we vanish in thin air And only time is there Time and a legacy History holds questions for everyone A story that's only just begun Blind passed the goddamn horizon Sees more than father less than son Life and death merely pretending We're part of the infinite ending We are gonna teach and learn We're gonna get fed well And then we shall feed We, we are ancient We are brand spanking new We shall follow and lead ‘Cause we are simply you and me In proving our traditions On the brink of heaven and hell We each get a turn And then we're forgiven And we call it knowledge and change And life itself And we call it knowledge and change And life itself And we call it knowledge and change And life |

Never a day goes by when I can't see his face
And I can hear a thundering voice that no one will replace But since he left you've been hiding out and I can understand It seems to me about that time you should be coming back again I can feel the pain That won't go away We can't change that he left us But it's up to you to stay And I will make sense of it all Gonna try to make sense of it all You ask me why 'Cause it's all I can do I miss him every day But now I miss you I know it hurts right now but you've got to keep moving on And I know how good it can feel when you're safe and withdrawn But he can live in our memory and you don't yet have that choice 'Cause you're still here and to speak to me you're gonna have to use your voice I ain't telling you what's right And I ain't telling you what's wrong But it's he who has died And it's you who has gone And I will make sense of it all Gonna try to make sense of it all You ask me why 'Cause it's all I can do I miss him every day But now I miss you I know you're thinking now you must go through this alone But it's time to come home And I feel the pain That won't go away We can't change that he left us But it's up to you to stay And I will make sense of it all Gonna try to make sense of it all You ask me why 'Cause it's all I can do I miss him every day But now I miss you And I will make sense of it all Gonna try to make sense of it all You ask me why But it's all I can do I miss him every day But now I miss you |

I can feel your pity
I can feel your pain And they're never going to bother you again Well I don't know how And I ain't sure why But I promise you I'm really gonna try Believe me I hate tribulation I don't want no trial I can conquer with my state of denial And I want to save you So I guess I can When I grow up I'll be a faith healing man Believe me When all is said and done Already won When all is said and done Already won You feel like you're part of the plan When you want to be a faith healing man Believe me All is said and done Already won When all is said and done Already won |

Have you ever seen an atom?
Little bits of everything floating by Take a good look at them Collectively they compose all you see including your eye Brilliant puzzle A living Rubix Cube we think we can figure out and solve But we're just monkeys Scratching our heads trying to open our ears To a chord that just don't seem to resolve And we call it wisdom Yes, intellect in a truest sense of the word You see for us security means a harmony According to only what we have heard And this along and nothing less Will ease our heart and our mind In the hope that in feeling free we'll reach paradise On that hilltop we're still trying to find But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem That paradise was once the world and it wasn't just a dream The earth was our heaven and we did not know there were rules for us to break And maybe now we'll find out too late what a clever hell we can make Whoops Whoops Whoops Whoops In this corner Weighing in at almost every weight imaginable Life and all that surrounds it And in this corner Weighing in at well, not really much of anything A very sound and user friendly idea On finally bringing that pesky mountain to Mohammed Gentlemen at the sound of the harmonica solo you may come out fighting Take a look at the horizon Quiet and still You know there used to be bison Gentlemen you may fire at will They say this land won't go to waste But you gotta wonder how You know we're chopping down the air we breathe As fodder for the cow That's right so we can eat well Yes and starve to death And say there's nothing we can do Because we really don't want to do a goddamn thing Look I'm shrugging and so are you We can imagine the straightest of lines But our fingers can't control the pen And it's this frustration that yields relief As we say we're just mortal men And that means we get to torture a chimpanzee And infect him with disease Because he screams just like a human child While we study his desperate pleas But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem That paradise was once the world and it wasn't just a dream The earth was our heaven and we did not know there were rules for us to break And maybe now we'll find out too late what a clever hell we can make Whoops Whoops While we're on the subject you know my conscience hurts And it will not go away So please concoct me some pill I can take While I think of something clever to say So I can look in my mirror made of polished glass And find no need to cringe And forget that sinking feeling, I'm a dinosaur Out on his drunken last binge From fossil to fossil Dust to dust I'll see you all in the earthy crust Whoops Whoops |

I just couldn't cry
No matter how hard I try I knew the love we shared was dead Until she gave me a letter With some words she wrote down And I swear this is what she said She said She said Love of my life our first night together We sat in the rain and we talked forever Love of my life your carefree way Showed me the potential of each and every day But love of my life When you told me today That my place was gone from your carefree way I realized She said She said Love of my life now I finally see A carefree way wasn't meant for me The pain I feel you just can't understand You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand But love of my life When you told me today That my place was gone from your carefree way I realized You know she realized she must learn For once on her own Not to let her days burn Because she's alone She needed to learn For once on her own Not to let her days burn Because she's alone She needed to learn For once on her own Not to let her days burn Because she's alone She said She said Love of my life your arms were never shy To hold me tight when I needed to cry Love of my life you made me believe For that I love you but I know I must leave Because love of my life When you told me today That my, my place was gone from your carefree way I realized Oh yes, she realized, and for once so did I Because it occurred to me the love of my life was she And then and only then I started to cry |

Music & Lyrics: Brendan Hill
Hot lights across his face They told him he was just a disgrace Stripped down like a frightened child A shadow stood before him He thought he saw a smile Guilty of nothing more than fear It was the dogs of war that sent him here Caught across enemy lines Shot in the back Now he's running out of time They all said they loved him But where were they all now Thinking about his hometown Back in New York City A slap across his face Brings him back to this painful place He would not talk God save his soul They took him out and beat him His mind felt cold A change takes place It makes you feel numb Realizing you're just a man Can make your soul want to run Standing in the firing line The smoke fills his lungs one last time And with his last breath he cries out Dear God what have I done A shot rings out |

Raise your head
Meagerest of fledglings And breathe in deep And cease to cry For life, it beats within you To fix upon the sky And fix upon the sky And fix, fix upon the sky Is beckoning your coming Your feathered nest Has grown too small The wind Is here to greet you Spread your wings and simply fall Spread your wings and simply fall Spread your wings Spread your wings and simply fall Into the rushing air In the struggle Struggle and fight to rise above And then surrender To your freedom For these are the many pains of love And these are the many pains of love And many, many are the pains The pains of love Oh, yeah Oh, yeah That frightening fall has become a friend With gravity now do you play Inches from death and the frozen ground And then away The clouds separate to reveal the warmth Of the goldenest bright shining sea Night falls and it's gone again But now you're free To give it chase And to Soar through heaven Mightiest of eagles And rule your minions Of the sky The earth Is far below you Once its prisoner, now do you fly Once just a fledgling, now do you fly Now my fledgling Now my fledgling Now you fly free |
