In the land between the Schuylkill and the Delaware There’s a cloud of hope that fills the air It reigns upon the midnight day in a promise that all will be OK Under the watch of Billy Penn We live our lives and then we live them again So spend another hour in the city of brotherly love A hot summer day in ’76 A group of Yankees made a devoted mix You fought the vice of tyranny In an effort to prove that all should be free I lost the battle but you won the war You hung together, so let’s explore Another grand adventure in the city of brotherly love Jay-walking, crowd stalking, the glamour of it all Skyscrapers, Paine’s papers, catch the urban sprawl Mixed feelings, your ceilings are bound to fall Don’t fall away from me A Broad Street day and the traffic is here It’s time for us, let’s disappear To South Street, and tell our tale – for the endings will never fail Some look, but they are blind for a New Athens of the mind Another grand adventure in the city of brotherly love Celebrating freedom in the Rittenhouse A friend of mine was singing out It was banned and she became a victim of having too much fun Caught in the rush of day to day, I’m left with only what I say Philadelphia did you know that you are still the one? In the land between the Schuylkill and the Delaware There’s a cloud of hope that fills the air It reigns upon the midnight day in a promise that all will be OK Under the watch of Billy Penn, we live our lives and then we live them again So spend another hour in the city of brotherly love Another grand adventure in the city of brotherly love Jay-walking, crowd stalking, the glamour of it all Skyscrapers, Paine’s papers, catch the urban sprawl Mixed feelings, your ceilings are bound to fall, but don’t fall away from me.

Hurricane 03:59
Just beyond the skyline a silhouette Forget your fears and hear the music that you got A lunarly reminder, I am gonna find her, my little Xanadu Living for the journey, escaping will return me to you, my friend Thinking of Tahiti I'm in the mood They force me to evacuate this latitude American Samoa didn't you know-a that you were left behind Maybe Caribbean days I'll be seeing I'm gonna ride on this hurricane to the moon Vacation station I will be leaving soon (in my balloon) It's gone, but only momentarily I'm gone, forever in eternity I know, cause I've done it all before I'm a hurricane Swimming in a rainband in my head I'm trying to get to that location, that's what I said I heard about a hangout anywhere about a mile east of A1A Barometer is dropping, there is no stopping me I'm gonna ride on this hurricane to the moon Vacation station I will be leaving soon It's gone, but only momentarily I'm gone, forever in eternity I know, cause I've done it all before I'm a hurricane I'm in the eye of the wind Open skies and I begin Do not wait for me, it's too late for me, I'm gone I'm gone, I'm gone Yeah, I'm gonna ride on this hurricane to the moon Vacation station I will be leaving soon (in my balloon) It's gone, but only momentarily I'm gone, forever in eternity I know, cause I've done it all before I'm a hurricane

Sandcastle 03:59
I'll make a fantasy land in the sand, and label it mine I'll be the king of the castle, and conquer whatever I find There's too much to do, and so little time, everyday We can either become the best that we can Or get washed away I'll be in my sandcastle At best I can try to make my stride My story, is endless as we are bounded by the tide Sand shall act as my shovel and help me create what I see Here is a wonderful oyster that opens for all to see The sand is the air the storm is the night I dare to compare because I can reach most any height I'll be in my sandcastle At best I can try to make my stride You'll be in my company, cause I will find a way To expand my palace, and I'll let you in to stay Life by the water, we'll share them through the years I'll make the most of these souvenirs Sandcastle, sandcastle I'll be in my sandcastle At best I can try to make my stride My story, is endless as we are bounded by the tide And I'll make a fantasy land in the sand, and label it mine

The poor long for money, the rich want the after life The wise solely seek serenity A blessing in disguise is time, what we have left of it So sleep in your head, or come with me Dream as big as the sky Watch and maybe they'll come true The days that are left behind are gone for good There is no turning back, you never should It's over and I wouldn't if I could At the moment, I'm alive, yesterday's tomorrows have arrived The glass breaks inside me, beware the broken windowsill You can't take it away, so give it back I'll have to comprehend the nonsense from the agony I hope that I am wrong, there is an end Dream as big as the sky Watch and maybe they'll come true The days that are left behind are gone for good There is no turning back, you never should It's over and I wouldn't if I could At the moment, I'm alive, yesterday's tomorrows have arrived What an adventure this has been What are the consequences now? I wanted a lullaby, I wanted to see them cry I wanted to have it all, I have it all, I have it all A blessing in disguise is time, what we have left of it So sleep inside your head, or come with me Dream as big as the sky Watch and maybe they'll come true The days that are left behind are gone for good There is no turning back, you never should It's over and I wouldn't if I could At the moment, I'm alive, yesterday's tomorrows have arrived Have arrived Have arrived

Daydreaming ‘bout the sky, so clear and free Everything seems to have its day Time and time again I try to find everything always in my way Wishing I could learn the way to my own eternal frozen spring But time is stretched too thin And this is how it’s been for a while Coloured hopes of quiet ambiance Penetrate deep within the soul Digging further into chaos I get stuck inside the hole Wishing I could learn the trick to stay there Its shadow freezes now The concrete jungle calls, and I’m not here at all And I can see myself so far from here today Fly a thousand miles and I am on my way Did you know the mind can conjure up a plan That only you could understand It takes you all the way and even more And I’ve been there before

Just Right 03:56
They say every guy gets his every girl Boy that was news to me Til you came along like the words of a song And then you set me free Could it be the way you smile Or how you walk my mind for miles But I know you're the one All alone you occupy those neurons in my head Something's happening to me I'm dangling by a thread I'm about to make the call When caution says for me to stall But this is what I'd say You're just right for me, baby You're just right for me Maybe we could get together then you'll see I'm all about being with you, let's go out and it'll hit you You're just right, you're just right for me Too afraid to find the truth, I think and hesitate What if she says no to me, then what would I create Summoning my anxiety, I pray and look at my decree And think it through again You're just right for me, baby You're just right for me Maybe we could get together then you'll see I'm all about being with you, let's go out and it'll hit you You're just right, you're just right for me You like music so do I, let's dance away the night We can make our poetry, just ask and I'll recite When the winter carries us, I will hold you tight If anything is ever wrong, I will make it right They say every guy gets his every girl Boy now I know that's true So finally the question is if I am right for you Surely you have seen me smile And how you walk my mind for miles But I know you're the one You're just right for me, baby You're just right for me Maybe we could get together then you'll see I'm all about being with you, let's go out and it'll hit you You're just right, you're just right for me

The Real Me 04:15
Trapped inside my other self Terrified of nothing else But being ruled by my social mind I see the songs seldom heard If you pass me don't disturb I am here, please be kind Do you know me, or am I a stranger Can I show me - the true arranger I don't have hostility or emptiness, I just wanna be free So I ask, do you know the real me Yesterday came and went Gone today poorly spent When you are gone, where am I People go everyday And they know what I say Is nothing real when I reply Do you know me, or am I a stranger Can I show me - the true arranger I don't have hostility or emptiness, I just wanna be free So I ask, do you know the real me Do you know me, or am I a stranger Can I show me - the true arranger I don't have hostility or emptiness, I just wanna be free So why ask, do you know the real me Trapped again without a doubt One less thing to worry about When you are gone, where am I? Yesterday came and went Gone tomorrow poorly spent When you are gone, where am I? Do you know the real me?

Drought 03:32
I stayed awake for an endless summer Listening for the pindrop rain I tried to resist the needless confusion Instead embraced the change You know when it's falling It's easy to hear But it's not enough to simply notice it A rumble, a darkness, a major change in scenery Is only a mirage if we don't see So watch it fall through the desert that we live in Take the call to develop this oasis Watch it fall and go away Cause we're in this drought Hoping the rain will fall again tonight A cloudy night - the beginning of November That's when the tempest did arise For years I know, we were living in the past But now the climate's on our side These cycles are turbulant, it's almost civil war With nature, that's why we're who we are A good time is coming, there's peace within the clouds But it's only a mirage if we don't see It's a chain reaction, gather 'round It's a chain reaction, gather up It's a chain reaction, gather 'round Let it rain, let it rain But it's only a mirage if we don't see So watch it fall through the desert that we live in Take the call to develop this oasis Watch it fall and go away Cause we're in this drought, hoping the rain will fall So watch it fall through the desert that we live in Take the call to develop that oasis Watch it fall and go away Cause we're in this drought Hoping the rain will fall again tonight

Back in 1939, the world was in a different time Not that different than it is today That's when I heard about a tale that victory will never fail Memories never go away I remember when I heard them play 'Twas mid-September what a day It's how we learned to live, how we learned to love How to find a way to get along A shot for you a shot for me, we'll be traveling through history Learning right from wrong, our troubadour song Well they crossed the sea to help them all And they ended in the north of Gaul All because that is what they did So much for Sudetenland, they never could understand How this became the battle that they bid But I remember when I heard them play 'Twas mid-September what a day It's how we learned to live, how we learned to love How to find a way to still be strong A shot for you a shot for me, we'll be traveling through history Learning right from wrong, our troubadour song Rain and shadows, we all look the same Down here in the gallows who am I? Is that my cousin across no-man's-land? Never a reunion 'til we die, that's the troubadour song Looking to the east, they're red for blood of ours Could we be the bad guys in this game? Aren't we all just children living out among the stars For what it's worth I feel we're all the same And a shot for you a shot for me We'll be traveling through history Learning right from wrong, our troubadour song Rain and shadows, we all look the same Down here in the gallows who am I? Is that my cousin across no-man's-land? Never a reunion 'til we die, that's the troubadour song Yeah, and I remember when I heard them play 'Twas mid-September what a day It's how we learned to live, how we learned to love How to find a way to still be strong That's the troubadour song

Kid, I was 21 When I realized all the fun I missed along the way Hey hey, Mr. 17 No that doesn't mean you have to plan out everyday Trapped in the one way mode With no exit road it seems you're stuck in between And so, it's alright with me Take a fantasy and live it out, that secret dream I could've been famous, the LA movie star The weatherman who'll botch the 7-day Hooray, those fantasies bizarre Sometimes I wonder oh-so-bad of the life I could've had Dear, the me of 10 Do you know when I was plastered in this grand facade My god, did I go too fast Did I past the point of no return or did I blink If I could only switch Maybe find my niche within the popular crowd So loud I would be with them Get rich, again, and earn my way to fame if I'm allowed I could've been famous, the LA movie star The weatherman who'll botch the 7-day Hey hey, well I can take it far Sometimes I wonder oh-so-bad of the life I could've had Sometimes I think til I go mad, of that life I could've had Fame may have its drawbacks, just a bit All that pressure just to write that hit The mood is gone, the mood is gone, and I know, I know Kid, I was 21 I'm the only one to live this life in which I made I paid, but I still can dream And so it seems I've got to make it big before I fade I could've been famous, the LA movie star The weatherman who'll botch the 7-day Hooray, those fantasies bizarre Sometimes I think, oh just a tad That I may be a little lad Who cannot stand the very bad And thinks of what will make him glad My current life is not enough Or so I think I'll just be tough But still think til I go mad of that life I could've had

Wake Dilemma 03:44
Attempts to fill my void leave little hope for sleep tonight It doesn't matter, but I'll try them all again I think of all the times, I wish that I could just rewind And get a chance, maybe make her stay The one who got away The one who made me say my true emotions She's gone, but still I think of her The one who made me smile The one who took a while just to know me A different story from a distant day The one who got away How did I end up here, I thought I knew just here I was A failed adventure, but that's just how it goes I'd like to quit this game, my life would never be the same If only I could live another day The one who got away The one who made me say my true emotions She's gone, but still I think of her The one who made me smile The one who took a while just to know me A different story from a distant day The one who got away Memory, spend with me Leave me a good one and I'll forgive you Memory, depend on me Leave me alone and I'll never leave you Memories, memories, I have nothing else to say The one who got away The one who made me say my true emotions She's gone, but still I think of her The one who made me smile The one who took a while just to know me A different story from a distant day The one who got away

Crossroads 03:38
Trying to find myself Don't know where I have been Or where I'm going anymore Struggling to define What I have left behind And what I'm heading toward The world is quickly changing The good is gone and bad won't go away You don't believe your life will stray But everything will be OK 9 a.m. Monday morn Weekend woes, heart is torn Here I am, time is stalled Heading for Lindenwold I see the sign. It intertwines the crossroads Sitting at Lindenwold Waiting for what's it called? The path and the ticket to go home It passes me suddenly And when it is safe to see I see I'm left alone But fate and serendipity Have another plan for me that's why I never let my spirits down Another one will come around Staring out the windowsill I run for miles just for the thrill The trees and air survive the ground But nowhere else can they be found The scenery stares back at me from the crossroads The winds have changed direction for the best Every cloud is different from the rest Well la, la, la 9 a.m. Monday morn Weekend woes, heart is torn Here I am, time is stalled Heading for Lindenwold A brief impasse Before my status so contrasts with the crossroads

Try to imagine being a stranger In somewhere you used to live Travel around this phantom town And notice what you've missed Places come and go Beware the work of art That unfolds when you know We're just children at heart Try to imagine being a stranger To someone you used to love Whisper secrets to their face And all you're dreaming of People come and go They've left before you start Realizing that you know We're just children at heart Try to imagine a perfect life Is it right before your eyes? Happiness isn't difficult But it's often a surprise Love can come and go Beware the work of art That unfolds when you know We're children at heart Children at heart Children at heart Try to imagine telling stories To pictures on the wall Share your tale with somebody Before the chance to fall We all come and go Join in or come apart As we wander to and fro We're children at heart
