| What Do You Want What do you have, What do you have What do you want, What do you flaunt Whaddya wanna get, And do ya have it yet What do you need, How is your greed Chorus: What is in this for you, What do you have to do What is in this for you, What do you have to do What do you use, What did you lose What do you waste, What have you chased What do you crave, What have you saved What do you lack, Do you want it back Chorus A little greed is good,, Made ya do all ya could A bit of pain is good, Reminds you where ya stood What do you want, What do you want What do you want, What do you want Chorus |
| Point of View Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, Jews Protestants, Buddhists, Hindus One of these already claims you Each with a different point of view Belief in one means the others are wrong Could they have been right all along Deepest beliefs are all over the place Creates ill will among the whole human race You gotta be dead just to meet your maker Is your human spiritual leader a faker Ya wanna live beyond just to cheat true death You never know if ends on your last breath How do you deal with evolution Is it heresy or revolution Does your faith have the scoop on creation Or just ancient mythical explanation Why would a god leave some people out Too isolated to learn even if you shout How can any faith be true If the decision is left up to you Why do other beliefs persist Why do old ones get a new twist Would any be on the list If mankind did not exist Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, Jews Protestants, Buddhists, Hindus One of these already claims you Each with a different point of view |
| What You Think is True Until we knew the earth was round We knew that it was flat Before you learn where you can be You just stay where you're at Chorus: What you think is true Becomes real for you If you think you can You'll be the top man Until we knew what cures disease We made sick people bleed Before you learn that plant will bloom It's just another weed Chorus Feel conspiracy around And live your life afraid Learn you did not understand And then you've got it made Chorus The things you know may not be true But still they shape your life You think you understand so well False truth cuts like a knife Chorus |
| Open Minds Know You want more than you have now Wish they would stare and say wow You want it all you want it now They win but you don't how Unseen roadblocks in your way It's who you know people say Just need a bit more money To make your outlook sunny Well I've got news for you Your life reflects what you do Face your limits and you'll find Most of them are in your mind Fears and fraud thrive in your head You're not jinxed you're just mislead Change your mind unlock new doors Find new ways and make them yours To live more life just learn this Open minds know what you miss |
| Part of Your Brain Do you avoid what you don't understand What do you see of all you've scanned How many cries fall on deaf ears Because their sound stirs hidden fears Chorus: Part of your brain decides what you see Facts and men's minds often disagree Which words do you admit you've read Aren't some kept outside your head What reason motivates mankind To become conveniently blind You still deny parts of the truth Just show highlights from your youth What kind of secrets do you keep Lost memories fallen deep asleep Fast forgotten you do not know What's not recalled cannot be so So many facts just get ignored Why try if you don't see a reward Chorus |
| When You Were Young You find yourself riddled with doubt Fooled by your own mind you just found out Now you want an explanation For your false interpretation What caused your brain to write off fact You fear your sanity is not intact Don't sweat tricks your mind plays on you Everyone else's brain does it too It all began in your first year Why they hurt you was not made clear The pain was too intense to bear You felt joy when unaware When you were young the kids were cruel You denied the truth to cut their fuel Beliefs froze shielded while you grew Bonds of denial you could not undo Culture chooses your role for you Work subdues your voice of virtue Compelled to build mental doors By fear of views that don't match yours |
| Balance If all you do is play Then you'll never earn much pay If you chase the buck all day You get prematurely gray Chorus: You need balance in your day Can't have it all one way Equal time for work and play Helps your happiness to stay If you only think of fun Then you never get much done If you're always on the run Then you'll never get much sun If you don't care if you grow Then you'll never be a pro If you're always on the go You will not enjoy the show If you don't make sure you learn Then you won't like what you earn If you don't care who you burn You'll find grief at every turn Chorus |
| Everyday Everything Chorus: Everyday everything you do Changes the meaning of you Everyday everything you do Changes the meaning of you You have the power to decide You will drive or you will ride You will choose what you will be You are in charge of your destiny Chorus You can change your life's direction What will be your next selection You are the one who gets to steer You took the path that brought you here The only thing You have to lose Are all the moments That you could choose The life you live Is up to you Your next breath Is your next cue You can chase or you can lead You will have or you will need Your new future is at stake Choose to change for your own sake Chorus |
| Grow So now you've mastered your main skill But you've ruined your favorite thrill What did you honestly expect After you get what you select What is one puzzle piece without the rest Your story sustained only with new quest A life with no obvious goal Leaves a man lost seeking his own soul What new things do you want to do After your wildest dreams come true Later when your success has passed You find life's joy fades fast Keep a spare crusade in mind To use when this one's left behind If you believe you've done it all Then you think that you must fall As long as you Try to learn what you don't know You thrive you gain Inspire and grow If you truly Want to reach your prime Learn until your life's End time |
| Infinite Potential How far can you go with this plan Farther than any other man Realize what you're able to do Your power exceeds limits believed true You are not the first to tap this source People before you have used this force The root of Strength grows From imagination Belief in Yourself Allows pure creation What came first, The chicken or the egg You can write Books where gods beg You already decide What is right and what is wrong And you now judge Who is weak and who is strong Man makes life And takes life And changes every day Our whims we Make real in Many a way How far will you go on This infinite trip Your dreams are fuel and Your mind is the ship You may outgrow myths That you fear You could be legend In some future year You should reach for and win The impossible goal You might redefine Mankind's Role |
