Spirit of fire. Heart of a Lion. Set your mind on the direction, Let your heart be the guide. I will forget problems, find answers, consider new solutions. Today. I will remember that I called yesterday today. Set your mind on the direction, Let your heart be the guide. New dreams, silent visions, Sometimes awake, sometimes asleep. Inner woven hopes, the chance to build, The chance to rid our old selves of old ways. Set your mind on the direction, Let your heart be the guide. Echoing sounds... Searching for the things, You would not give. Is it a crime to want to live? All my soul I give, To make up for whatever made it wrong. Echoing sounds... Why cry when the tears we shed, Add to the weight that we must carry? Yesterday's dream - yesterday. Set your mind on the direction, Let your heart be the guide. Oh, heart of a lion. Set your heart on the direction, Let your heart be the guide. Standing around wondering, What to do? Your body's a wreck, And your mind is too. They put you on hold for so long. You're wasting away, while you scream - I'm Strong. The unity of the members, Gives the body strength. When you can't hold your brother's hand, Your might has been dismissed. (Backing vocals repeat): You got a heart of a lion, Spirit of fire. You perish without a vision So the picture must be plain. You must come together on one accord, The power of torrential rain. Dope I tried it, Found out I was one. Changed to what? Don't know yet. Better than what was, Not as good as what will be. A long time getting here, A longer time getting back. Long time getting here, A longer time getting back. A lot of bridges burned, River of time still flows. I guess I'll follow it. Until time to cross over.

Go ahead All for naught Cannot win We'll never lose What we choose If it's all the same to you Hold onto What is real The world you know is done One more time For all our sakes Find it from within What's at stake And what's that state you're in Saw it all begin Saw it all begin Gotta say Can't explain Away Wandering thoughts Too insane to stay Gone away In there you lay Away Wandering thoughts Too ingrained to stay Found a way To leave here and Escape Wandering thoughts Too amazed to stay One more time Listen down Be here now All I know You will never leave If it's all the same to you

Here for the moment Oceans away What else is a neighbor But a stranger who stays How do you know Where a person goes They go where they go To a point unknown Taste the fruits of stillness A gateway to truth (Opens for us) Through pursuits of truth we Accept ourselves (Accepting others) How many thoughts are fresh With new ideas? (Repeated cycles) These lines are drawn in sand Designed to bite the hand Can only serve the past Here for the moment Flying away They go where they go To a point unknown What else is a neighbor But a stranger who stays Finding hope In the path they made A divide grows deep Through fear and pride (See beyond yourself) Common roots denied again Blinded by lies (Separate Stardust) You tell it like it is As if it always will be How do you know? Flying away

Tried to tame The urban jungle Built to pass Generations by The third pillar Comes into focus Through the looking glass See the other side If we only see What is shown How can we know How can we know If we only hear What is told How can we grow How can we grow A consensus to Sentence the senses Feel beyond Your own skin In empathy Profess community Say it again and again If we only see What is shown How can we know How can we know If we only hear What is told How can we grow How can we grow

Ah I'm sorry Yeah I'm a little shaky What's your job My job, uh It's a living How do I feel about my job Do I think the government Has more power than corporations Instant communication Without it we wouldn't be Nearly what we are today If you'd have asked me that question A few years ago I would have said no But today I would say definitely yes Privacy? Um Loneliness As human beings Need better leadership The rich, government, corporations Have power in society Who has the power Not the people Well I think it's terrific Very good Confusion We can't be helped O.D. on information What? What? I don't understand Too much I think we're an information oriented society The telecommuncations That's expanding as rapidly as it is You just can't get away from it Who has the power? Who has the power? The computer That's what we're working on now Help, help What do you think of the corporations They're devious Why? They have so much influence Over you What's the first thing that Comes into your head Hahahaha Privacy O.D on information. Confusion What? What? I don't understand The rich, government, corporations Have power in society Who has the power? Who has the power? See, I didn't know we were in the information society Paperwork. Paperwork? Ah, paperwork Do I have a lot of paperwork Information Society

Something feels Not quite right You're stuck in a dream Can't seem to Put a finger on it In your mind it seems Air goes still Thoughts are misplaced So unclear Just empty space Can't even think Can't even think Lost in a spin You are Lost in a spin Hold on Lost in a spin Your mind is gone So surreal Oh so strange Nothing's as it seems (Nothing's as it seems) Can't seem to Wrap your head around this Everlasting gleam (Nothing's as it seems) Air goes still Thoughts go quiet So damn clear Sound of silence Lost in a spin You are Lost in a spin Hold on Lost in a spin Your mind is gone Have, hold and hear The fleeting sounds Fall to the clouds Upside down Been here before You can be sure You can be sure Lost in a spin You are Lost in a spin Hold on Lost in a spin Your mind is gone (You can be sure) Lost in a spin (Your mind is gone) I'm lost in a spin
