1. The Moment:
It's getting darker and the hour is getting late. A moment approaches; history won't wait...
Time can be on our side if we don't hesitate. It's getting darker and the hour is getting late...
Come together now for once, and for all time. This is the moment we've been waiting for…
Come together now for once, and for all time. This is the moment...
We've been waiting for Columbus. Wading through the fog. Waiting for a savior to help us get along.
What if he isn't coming? What if he's been delayed?
Don't you think he'd want us to rise to the occasion of our lives?..
For once and for all time; this is the moment we've been waiting for…
Come together now for once, and for all time. This is The Moment...

2. Blind Alley:
Take a ride on the midnight sun; it's alright if you got no money. Don't wait till your back's to the wall.
Don't wait till you meet your maker; to “dance on the face of the sun…”1
If you think this is all there is, you might fill your cup at the cost of many; then you'll find your cup is
empty. So don't wait till your back's to the wall. Don't wait till you meet your maker...
Used to be so easily, an explanation for everything. I can see tomorrow coming...
How many times have I walked this road? How many times have I woke up hungry for what I cannot
see? What lies on the other side, beyond this barrier? Is there only one way to know?
If you believe everything they tell you, if you buy everything they sell you; then what have you got of your
own? And when you find that the road you're on is just a blind alley; it's time for movin’ on...
Used to be so easily, an explanation for everything. I can see tomorrow come in...

3. Blues from Above:
I can feel it; I'm standing in the wind. Thunder's raining down again. And I am standing in the wind...
And I don't think we can make it. We've been trying for so long. Not sure if we were meant to take it.
We've been trying for so long...
I can feel it; I'm standing in the wind. Thunder's raining down again. And I am standing in the wind...
Lord can you give us one more chance? - Or are we just victims of circumstance?
And I know we don't deserve it! Oh, I know we don't deserve it…
But we have learned; that we can't eat money. But we have learned; we cannot eat money...
We have learned that we cannot eat money...
We have learned there might be a better way...
Regenerate, Regenerate... Regenerate, Regenerate...
I do believe that maybe we can make it!.. Oh, I think we learned to fly…
Maybe we can learn how not to break it…
… you and I…
I still believe we just might make it! Did not our species learn to fly?
Maybe we can conserve it and regenerate it… Oh, Maybe… you and I…
I think; We can Conserve it and Regenerate it!... Oh yeah… … you and I…

5.Christine:
I can hear that sound. I remember breathing....
Don't know where we are; I remember a feeling...
Well I may not see everything that you see; but if you're right, that's alright with me...
Reaching farther; touching a moment. And a barrier falls, as a doorway is open.
I can hear the fire; dancing in circles.... Animal desire; as only an animal could know…
Such a long, long time ago. But the time is inseparable now that we've crossed over.
And you can tell me everything; that's alright with me...

6. Real Close:
And I would give everything I had. And I wouldn't take anything for granted.
And every day would be the day that I'd ask you to marry me again...
Why does it always seem to go that way, I want what I cannot have?
Why do we need what we don't want?
I still remember the first time that you rescued me. I remember all the days; I remember all the ways...
Why does it always seem to go that way; It's right in front of you?
Why does it always seem to go that way; It's right in front of me too?…
But if you get down real close...
If you get down, and you listen real close…
… it sounds like angels crying…
And I would give everything I had. And I wouldn't take anything for granted.
And every day would be the day that I met you.
And every day would be the day that I came to know you.
And every day would be the day I realized I've known you for all of my life…
Why does it always seem to go that way?
Why does it always seem to go that way?…
But if you get down real close…
If you get down real close…
If you get down and look real close...
See it's right in front of you...
It's right in front of me too...

8. The Earth is Speaking (2006):
The Sun go down. And the rain is falling on the crowded streets of my mind. To go like that, you know
you’re wanted… On a crowded street…..I was standing at the station, waiting for a train, to carry me
away to where it matters again…
Take me where it matters again…
The Sun go down and the rain is falling, on the crowded streets of my mind… He was standing on the
overpass on the interstate. Throwing rocks down at people, he didn’t even know; that he was trying to
get even with a force he could not see…
He didn’t understand that we’re all crazy anyway…
The sun go down, and the rain is falling on the crowded streets of my mind… And he woke up one
morning on The Whitehouse Lawn. And he realized this was his backyard… He could stay here as long
as he wanted to… Just as long as he wanted to…
But he’ll never understand what the people know, ‘cause he hasn’t lived there at all. And he cannot feel
what they feel… What they feel?…
“Lower away the lifeboats; we’re all goin’ down together.
Lower away the lifeboats; we’re all goin’ down…”
We’re all crazy anyway…
… Then, I woke up one morning on The Whitehouse Lawn… And I had me a conversation, with the
movers and the shakers…And they understood everything I had to say.
And we felt the same… in a different way…
Then I woke up one morning in a foreign land, in a foreign place… And everyone around me had a veil...
over their face… But they understood everything I had to say… And we felt the same, in a different
way… They understood every word I said…;
“Lower away the lifeboats; we’re all in this together.
Lower away the lifeboats; we’re all…. We’re all…Crazy...”
We’re all crazy anyway.. .
The Sun go down and the rain is falling, on the crowded streets of my mind.
The Sun go down, and the rain is falling…
And the rain is falling…
And the Earth is speaking…
All we have to do is….
“Listen….”

11. Truce:
We are trapped in here; we can't get out. We thought we had it made… We are trapped in here; we can't
get out… And if we can't change, do not wake me...
Do not wake me… Thought we had it made...
We have built all this, surrounds us. The idea was to be free. We may have sold it off for profit, and
erased the memory. Now we know the game is over, but the players just can't stop. – As if this way of
thinking was impossible to top...
And if we can't change do not wake me....
Do not wake me...
We are trapped in here; we can't get out. We thought we had it made…
God has given us a riddle; it may have always been the same: ‘Do we learn to live together or do we
burnout in our flames?’ We have done this all together, now there's no one else to blame…
The riddle is: ‘we are the answer and we are the enemy...’
But if we can change, will you wake me?
If we can face it, can you wake me?
Can you wake me; can you wake us? Can you take away our greed?
Can you wake me; can you wake us? Can you show us what we need to see; is each other? We are all
what we have left of our people on this place; with its sun and its moon…
Can you wake us? It won't be too soon...
Can you wake me; can you wake us? Can you take away our greed?
Can you wake me; can you wake us? Can you show us what we need? – Is each other…
We are all what we have left of our people on this place.
With its one sun and its one moon; If you wake us, it won't be too soon…
We are ready to wake up. It is not too soon.
We are ready to wake up...

13. Curmudgeon Blues:
You know we all have got the blues; there's curmudgeons everywhere…
And we might all be afraid of change; All be afraid of change… But you know we want it.
You know we need it... We just don't believe that it's ever gonna come…
But if I can change, the whole world can change...
You know we all have got the blues; there's curmudgeons everywhere.
You know we all have got the blues. It's getting harder and harder to care… But we want to...
You know we need it… We just don't believe that it's ever gonna come.
But if I can change, the whole world can change...
You know we all have got the blues; there's curmudgeons everywhere.
And we might all be afraid of change; All be afraid of change… But you know we want it.
You know we need it. Maybe now, maybe now it’s gonna come…
But you know we want it. You know we need it... Aaaaaaaahhhh!...
But if I can change, the whole world can change...
If I can change, the whole world can change…

15. Hole in the Sky (2001):
Tell me, how am I supposed to feel?
Tell me, how am I supposed to feel?
Is there anyone that's truly evil? Is there anyone can tell right from wrong all the time?
Is there anyone that's truly evil?...
So many people kill for their god. So many people kill for their country. So many people kill for money.
So many people, for no reason at all...
Then the man of the hour came on my TV screen. He did his best John Wayne…
– And I only know this, 'cause I always thought my life could be that way...
But John Wayne was a movie star; and he didn't even use his own name; but we loved him anyway…
He always made it easy to find someone to blame…
Do you really think you made your point? Do you really think they'll let you into heaven now?
Do you really think you made your point?
You left a hole in the sky...
So many people kill for their god. So many people kill for their country. So many people kill just for
money. Too many people die for no reason at all…
No reason at all...
