Rise and shine
Wipe the sleep out of your eyes
Seize the day
Don’t let your dreams all fade away
Rise and shine
Get up and see what you can find
Catch the sun
Arise and see your new day dawn
Well I know you’ll build a rocket boys
I hope I get to see you fly
If I ever show you anything
I hope I see you Rise and Shine
Rise and shine
Get what is yours and I’ll get mine
Take your time
Try and color outside of the lines
Rise and shine
All along the way of your climb
Shine your light
And all that’s yours will be all right
Life is what you make of it
You gotta give it all you’ve got
Let it get the best of you
It’s coming for you so liftoff
Well I know you’ll build a rocket boys
I hope I get to see you fly
If I ever show you anything
I hope I see you Rise and Shine

Phoenix Rising
03:52
|

You will rise up from your ashes
But you're gunna have to let yourself burn
Wipe the tears away from your lashes
Reached the point of no return
From the flames you'll face your freedom
From the cage you'll cast aside
And If your broken heart's still beatin'
Spread your wings now and learn to fly
Cause you're a Phoenix and you're rising
Come on and show 'em how you fly
Into a brand new sun that's shining
From the darkest soul of night
Cause you're a Phoenix and you're rising
Come on and show 'em how you fly
You're a Phoenix
And now's the time to rise
A spark flys down from the heavens
To ignite a brand new day
For the misfits and the broken
That were left out in the rain
To the tired and the weary
Even though the night is long
The horizon's storm is clearing
Sing until the break of dawn
Cause you're a Phoenix and you're rising
Come on and show 'em how you fly
Into a brand new sun that's shining
From the darkest soul of night
Cause you're a Phoenix and you're rising
Come on and show 'em how you fly
You're a Phoenix
And now's the time to rise

Boxes

They put themselves into boxes
They go to work and they check off their boxes
They come home to their nice and warm boxes
They place their children in their own little boxes
Kids to school and make friends with their boxes
They sit them down they learn at their boxes
Tell what they can and can’t put in their boxes
So they can fit within their own little boxes
They buy & keep their possessions in boxes
They ship their boxes across the country in boxes
They fall asleep in their safe and sound boxes
They put their love and their dreams into boxes
D’ya think they know that nothing that’s alive should grow in boxes?
It won’t belong and they’ll wonder where it went when it’s gone til they unbox it
The eat their food from their take Togo boxes
They keep their memories in their photo boxes
They watch each other on their tv boxes
Talk to each other with their streaming boxes
They hide their dirt & their secrets in boxes
They put their own limitations in boxes
They count their days down on their boxes
Bury each other in the ground in their boxes
D’ya think they know that nothing that’s alive should grow in boxes?
It won’t belong and they’ll wonder where it went when it’s gone til they unbox it

Wonderwall
04:42
|
|||
|
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

Carpenter's Son
04:33
|
|||
|
I was born a carpenter's son
West Detroit is where I come from
Made my way to Tennessee
That's probably where they'll bury me
A Yankee mixed with Southern Charm
John Lennon tattooed on my arm
Got a blue balloon to carry me
And sons that shine so brilliantly
A Dreamer with my head up in the clouds
Keep my feet firm on this sacred ground
And I remember where I came from
I was born a carpenter's son
My Father's feet forged the way
And that's the path that I strive to take
Got an angel for a sister too
She shines as bright as diamonds do
Wanna leave this world more beautiful
Some might say I'm unusual
But I know I'm not the only one
Cause I was born a carpenter's son
A Dreamer with my head up in the clouds
Keep my feet firm on this sacred ground
And I remember where I came from
I was born a carpenter's son

Beautiful Boys
03:34

|
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster's gone,
He's on the run
And your daddy's here,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day
In every way,
It's getting better and better,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both
Just have to be patient,
'Cause it's a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe
Yes, it's a long way to go
But in the meantime,
Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is what happens to you,
While you're busy making other plans,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day
In every way,
It's getting better and better,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Darling, darling,
Darling, darling boys.

Centralia
03:46
|

|
Climbing on the swing set
Hanging from our knees
Trying to stop the sunsets
Come and go just as we pleased
Nintendo in your basement
Trying to play your Dad's guitar
Did you ever think we'd make it?
Did ya think we'd go so far?
Mama Mia my Centralia
Well I won't ever fail ya
You're the first true friend this boy had ever known
And I promise you Centralia
Though life's no fairytale
Ya mean more to me than you will ever know
Waiting at the bus stop
Singing "So Sally can wait"
Ice cream hands and lollipops
Your memories are figure eights
Oreos and white tic-tacs
And the dog circles your house
What I wouldn't give to go back
But I'm so glad we made it out
Mama Mia my Centralia
Well I won't ever fail ya
You're the first true friend this boy had ever known
And I promise you Centralia
Though life's no fairytale
Ya mean more to me than you will ever know

Lullaby
02:24
|
|||
|
May your eyes be filled with wonder
May your heart be filled with love
May your days be full of laughter
And with all you're dreaming of
May the sun keep all your skies blue
May the clouds all pass you by
May the moon smile down on you
With stars that sing you lullabies
May your blessings be divine
May your wishes all come true
May the doubt never cross your mind
Of just how proud I am of you
May you find yourself some peace
May the load you bear be light
May you send a kiss from me
When you kiss your Mom goodnight
May the good lord shine upon you
May you lend a helping hand
May all that I'm meant to teach you
Someday help you understand
May you run with your ideas
May you follow all your dreams
May you borrow all the pieces
That make up the best of me
