Judged by the Future We'll be judged by the Future If we don't do something to stop all this Then we will be Judged by the Future Take a good look around at the past Take a good look around at the present It's hard to believe some of the things that we have done The past is a shadow of all of us here now When the light of the Future shines down upon us What will they think of what we do now?

Things feel like they've gone askew The train sure feels off the tracks Doesn't mean it can't be fixed Doesn't mean that there's no way back The desire to fix things, not want to tear things apart Takes a great deal of patience, a tremendous amount of heart Rome didn't fall in a day We've still got time if we take the time to change Don't have to love one another or even have to like at all But the one simple goal is to respect one another so we don't all fall That's how all sorts of people can still pull it together Put aside all the hatred, perhaps survive together Rome didn't fall in a day We've still got time if we take the time to change

Exclaiming with volume does not make you right A whisper of logic is all it should take Compassion for others is not a mistake Tearing at people, nasty and mean, bombastic and red-faced hurling your malice Your opinion's not right just because its the loudest The loudest voice in the room If you really were as smart as you like to brag that you are You wouldn't need to provoke, to prod and to poke You could calmly just state what you you're thinking Because the smartest of folks can just look at themselves and admit "you know I could be mistaken" Have you ever felt that you were mistaken? The loudest voice in the room Can you talk without spite? Can you just listen? Smart-assed remarks and mean-spirited comments do not prove you right That's just your sycophants The loudest voice in the room

One Bad Turn 03:49
There are times when it feels like you're driving off in the wrong direction Your navigation is shouting and forcing you to turn That's when you lift your eyes from your screen And make up your own damned mind You can choose your own direction, even after that one bad turn There are times when we all take one bad turn One bad turn doesn't have to be permanent Because one bad turn deserves a good one Sometimes it feels hopeless when you're off in the wrong direction You tend to forget this road was here before we were born Sometimes it's good to just toss out your apps and your Atlas Think it through, chart your course Steer away from that one bad turn There are times when we all take one bad turn One bad turn doesn't have to be permanent Because one bad turn deserves a good one

Feel 03:56
Hurt in silence covered up in glass and logic Hurt in silence, here's the only place you'll hear this Feel Hurt in silence, crumpled under debt and ashes Hurt in silence, now I'm here, have I miscarried? Hurt in silence, is it real if you don't show it? Hurt in silence, here's the only place you'll hear this Feel Hurt in silence Now it's gone and I can't stop it Hurt in silence Paperweights and weights of paper Hurt in silence covered up in glass and logic Hurt in silence, here's the only place you'll hear this Feel

This is the last of its kind This is a momentary ripple in the pond This is the only thing that's real This is something that only means something to me Take this fear from me, I don't want it anymore People can live their lives without this stinging aching in their minds This is the last of its kind Days can pass without pain Nights are the crippled dark the mini taste of death I lie awake at night, a panic in my breath I can't believe that someday I might fade away

Intolerance is easy Understanding takes work and is really hard Childish insults are simple Acting civil is terribly, terribly hard

When the world is gone where will I be then? Just another Tuesday morning, Monday just a warning When all I felt is gone where will I be then Just another Tuesday morning, Monday just a warning Tuesday comes and I'm undone Tuesday comes, we're done

It feels like the river in winter It stings like the salt in the sea Take a moment imagine the feeling that getting along would be The time to care is now Think of all the possibilities Make this all work out somehow Think of all the possibilities The time to care is now Think of all the possibilities Think of all the possibilities Think of all the possibilities When the river is frozen solid And 3 feet of snow sits atop It's easy to feel that the river has gone and will never come back And when naked eyes hit the ocean, resentment swells at the ocean It's easy to forget the beauty of sunset on water and the blue of the sea The time to care is now Think of all the possibilities Make this all work out somehow Think of all the possibilities The time to care is now Think of all the possibilities Think of all the possibilities Think of all the possibilities You can cross the river in winter As you push your feet through the snow There's a silence that's special and like no other silence you've ever known As you slip in the ocean and as you slip into the sea There's a calmness that's special and like no other calm that you've ever seen The time to care is now Think of all the possibilities Make this all work out somehow Think of all the possibilities The time to care is now Think of all the possibilities Think of all the possibilities Think of all the possibilities
