Trumpet: Samantha Boshnack

(Verse 1)
Strange feeling when all our hard work
Balances on a top that stops spinning
Strength to pursue without ever feeling
A part of something that you're in love with
Confined by a hundred foot fence surrounds
But you can't seem to learn how to break free
There's no reason that you are holding it in
You gotta jump right out or try and break free

(Chorus)
How, How long you gonna keep
On pushing me till the passion is gone?
Tell me I'm wrong, you know your dreams
Might be a scheme, and I'm your pawn.
Freedom - to choose - you better do it for yourself
Or you're gonna lose your mind
Cause they're pushing
Inspiration runs dry as everyone's judging you.

(Verse 2)
All our heroes fall to the ground
No big light in the sky, body being brought down
The more we criticize, the less we realize
That we're the ones in control of all our lives.
No one is holding you, no one is controlling you
The only promise was the platform of our youth
Take all that privilege that has been given to you
And learn to show some gratitude.

(Chorus)

Bridge)
They're pushing you
They're pushing you
They're Pushing...

(Chorus)

Drums +Percussion: Michael Knight
Additional Keys: Oskar Kollen

(Verse 1)
Organized in your mind
To perceive them as friends
Nothing’s going to stop them
From stabbing you again
When all your pressure
Builds up to a fact
Remember this rusty hub cap
Can still shine, with some help from a friend
Can still shine, with some help from a friend

(Chorus)
There’s no reason to hang your head
Hold your chin high as you walk over them
There’s no reason to hang your head
Hold your chin high as you walk over them, over them

(Verse 2)
When all demonstration results in frustration
Don’t hold your hand out
You’ll just cramp up again
Just slow your emotion
Control that commotion
Cause wholehearted fighting won’t help in the end
Remember this hourglass with too much sand
Still takes some time to realize
It’s all worth something
Remember this hourglass with too much sand
Still takes some time to realize
It’s all worth something

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Wait a minute
Didn’t catch what you said
The only thing worth saying
Is from your heart not your head
As admiring eyes, grow weak with passion
Remember this story in the end
Remember this faded children’s toy
Reminds us when we were just little boys

(Chorus)

Put your medal, upon your chest
And Flaunt it beneath
Put your medal upon your chest
And Flaunt it beneath
Hang your head

(Verse A)
You’re gonna see what you wanna see
You’re gonna believe what you wanna believe
As you perceive its reality
It ‘s the music that sets you free
You’re gonna see what you wanna see
You’re gonna believe what you wanna believe
What you perceive as reality – it’s the music that sets you free

(Pre Chorus)
The rhythm in your soul
Vibrates your bones
People round the world
Sound that makes you whole
The rising of the tide, and setting of the sun
Now Everyone, everyone dance to the kickdrum

(Chorus)
That’s the sound
Of the world marching together now
That’s the sound
Of us all changing forever now
That’s the sound
Of the world marching together now
That’s the sound
Of us all changing

(Verse B)
Leaders remember the song and the souls
Inspiring the millions to take conscious roles
Despite language barriers – beliefs been bold
A Melodies marching is to what’s been told


(Verse A)

(Chorus)

(Verse C)
I said now, We all know
We all know that we got time
We all know
We got time, time time
We all know
We all know that we got time
We all know
We got time, time time

(Pre Chorus)

4. Washington (3:30)
Song written by David John Wellnitz
String Arrangement by Andrew Joslyn
Vocals + Acoustic Guitar: David John
Violin + Viola: Andrew Joslyn

(Verse 1)
They say protect yourself
From what it is we haven’t figured out
No idiot’s guide that got shelved
What happened to all the details?
Oh my god, I wish was
A better tester, a score above
A book on tape with no buzz
What happened to all the details?

(Chorus)
Everything seems so distracting
Just trying to finish the sentence the judge gave me
Washington says “Don’t give up son, just pay close attention,
Some day sense will come, some sense, will come some sense, will come sense, Will come sense…”

(Verse 2)
They say forget yourself
Because the more we know, the less we learn
The tunnels wide, the lights shattered
What happened to all the details?
Oh my god, I wish was
A better tester, a score above
A book on tape with no buzz
What happened to all the details?

(Chorus) x2

(Oh my god, I wish was
A better tester, a score above
A book on tape with no buzz
What happened to all the details?)


5. This Man (2:26)
Song written by David John Wellnitz
Vocals + Acoustic Guitar: David John
Violin + Viola: Andrew Joslyn
Bass Guitar: Patrick Files
Drums + Percussion: Michael Knight
Cello: Caleb Hegg

(Verse 1)
Built on a dead economy
Security found on our own bribery
Don’t get me wrong this is our accident
We side with the familiar – not the popular president

This man, with his foot in the sand
Puts a gun in my hand
Take the slip from the mail
It’s a media power facist nail

Middle America, so flat and so free
Tell me what does our, does our president mean
Is this our mothers and our fathers dream
That their freedom, has turned the color green?

I said, take your hammer construct a world
This is your people and children
This Man is our own disappointment.

(Chorus)
Where did all our dreams of the children, children go,
No pattern to follow, no place to call home, call home

(Verse 2)
Look down on me now, disagree with my view
I hope you find out, it’s the world’s point of truth
When tears fall down, they hope to hope too
Now will you feel so proud, to be
Red, White and Blue?

(Chorus)

Built on a dead economy
Security found on our own bribery
Don’t get me wrong this is our own accident
We side with the familiar – not the popular president

(Verse 1)
You’re right I aint got nothin to offer
No dollar signs no means to a doctor
Silly me for being a hopeless romantic
Well it seems like this time I need some commitment
One beer one wine seems like I might be in love this time,
One beer one wine seems like I might be in love this time

(Chorus)
There's no right there's no wrong right or wrong (repeat)

(Verse 2)
Mama always said, “be careful what you say
Around the ones you been hangin with”
Mama always said, “be careful what you say
Around the ones you been hangin with”
I said oh-no, i gotta know, said now i gotta know
Seems like my emotions are getting the control

Chorus 1x

(Breakdown)
There's a time to be right
There’s a time to be wrong
There's a time to forgive
There's time to be strong
There's a time to forget about all that is gone
There's a time to be right there's a time to be wrong

Hoo hoo there's no right. . .there's no wrong. . .there's a right. . .there's a wrong (repeat 1x)

Chorus 2x


8. Lazy Men (3:24)
Song written by David John Wellnitz
Vocals + Acoustic Guitar: David John

(Verse 1)
If all the world holds the secrets
Then tell me please it’s in the best interest
Of the millions of people
Who hold no power, said now hold no power at all,
If all we had was a daily paper
And the headlines read hope and love forever
Be our true action and I hold the intention
To spread it all over the world
To spread it all over the world

(Chorus)
Now some might call us lazy men
Wish their words had better plans
Till then I guess silence
Is our only control
You know I wish we all had more control

(Verse 2)
If our eyes are truly open
Then tell me why we dont speak words less spoken
Are we ever gonna stand the way that we know we should
The way that we wish we could?

(Chorus) repeat

(Verse)
Why does kindness lose to the rumors interest
This gift is a treaty at best
Are your arms truly open now
Do you feel at all, cause lately it seems like you got your own agenda
And you don’t really understand
I said now does kindness mean anything

I’m not the one that’s changed you’re the one that’s different (repeat 1X) I’m not different I’m the same. .

(Chorus 1)
I’m the same

(Verse) repeat

(Chorus 2)
I’m not the one that’s changed I’m the same, I’m not the one that’s changed I’m the same

(Chorus 1) repeat

Son don’t even try
Your world will crumble
One way or another
Don’t give up being humble,
Don’t give up being humble

(Chorus)
As your walls build higher around you
Your glass ceiling keeps you
Away from the clouds
Of imagination filled with the honest truth

(Verse 2)
Disrupt the norm
But realize that money rules
The exchange between
Between greed and fools; greedy fools

(Chorus) repeat 2x

(Verse 1)
Used to be the solver
Now we’re just a problem
We act like the one's destined to die,
With the least interference (from the outside),
I said now, bomb bomb
Just another excuse (repeat 2x)
Tell me there's another way I say now

(Chorus)
Childishly we forge ahead
We’ll go down down down
Childishly we forge ahead
We’ll go down down down

In history
As the grave diggers of the American
Our you know our dream
Said we’ll go down as the grave diggers, grave diggers, grave diggers. .

(Verse 2)
All our friends are getting nervous
From the areas that we suggest
Of being too dangerous
Way too dangerous
Said bomb bomb, just another excuse (repeat 2x) tell me there's another way

(Chorus)

There's a man, a man
That seems to understand
That when we come together we can love again
I said a woman a woman
That seems to understand
That when we come together we could change something
There's a man a man
That seems to understand
That when we come together we can work again

A man a man that seems to understand
That when we say yes oh yes we can
I said love, love, love
Everyone and everything,
Love, love, everyone
And everything I said love, love, love…
