    1. The Power To Believe I: A Cappella

      She carries me through days of apathy
      She washes over me
      She saved my life in a manner of speaking
      When she gave me back the power to believe

    2. Level Five

    Instrumental

    3. Eyes Wide Open

      Well here it comes, here comes another day
      Another decision on the way
      Well here it comes, here comes a color display
      Of preferences to make
      Well here it comes, here comes a knock on the door
      Open it for an opportunity
      Well here it comes, here comes another day
      For memories to be made

      Eyes wide open
      Eyes wide open all the time

      There it was, it was a perfect take
      And were you asleep or awake?
      Well there it was, it was a perfect time
      To speak your mind
      And there it was, it was the chance of a lifetime
      Flew right by, and what did you do?
      Well there it was, it was another day
      For memories to be made

      Eyes wide open
      Eyes wide open all the time
      I've got my eyes wide open
      Eyes wide open all the time
      Cause you never know what you might see

      Eyes wide open
      Eyes wide open all the time
      I've got my eyes wide open
      All the time
      Eyes wide open
      Cause you never know what you might see

    4. Elektrik

    Instrumental

    5. Facts Of Life (Intro)

    Instrumental

    6. Facts Of Life

      Six billion ants
      Crawling on a plate
      Six billion ants
      Crawling on a plate
      None of them give back
      As much as they take
      Six billion ants
      Crawling on a plate

      Doesn't mean you should
      Just because you can
      It doesn't mean you should
      Just because you can
      Like Abraham and Ishmael
      Fighting over sand
      It doesn't mean you should
      Just because you can

      That is a fact of life
      That is a fact of life

      Now some of us build
      And some of us teach
      Some of us build
      Some of us teach
      And some of us kill
      What some of us eat

      That is a fact of life
      That is a fact of life

      Nobody knows
      What happens when you die
      Nobody knows
      What happens when you die
      Believe what you want
      It doesn't mean you're right

      That is a fact of life
      That is a fact of life

    7. The Power To Believe II

      She carries me through days of apathy
      She washes over me
      She saved my life in a manner of speaking
      When she gave me back the power to believe

    8. Dangerous Curves

    instrumental

    9. Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With

      And when I have some words
      This is the way I'll sing
      Through a distortion box
      To make them menacing

      Yeah, then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
      We're gonna need to have a chorus
      And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face

      And for a second verse
      Of terse economy
      I'll brew another pot
      Of ambiguity

      Then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
      We're gonna need to have a chorus
      And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face
      Yes, we're gonna need to have a chorus
      I'm gonna have to write a chorus
      And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face

      Happy with what you have to be happy with
      you have to be happy with what you have
      to be happy with you have to be happy with what you have,
      happy with what you have to be happy with
      you have to be happy with what you have
      to be happy with what you have you have to be happy with what you have to happy with

      Then I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
      We're gonna repeat the chorus!
      I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
      We're gonna repeat the chorus!
      Then I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
      We're gonna repeat the chorus!
      I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
      We're gonna repeat the chorus!

      Happy with what you have to be happy with
      you have to be happy with what you have
      to be happy with you have to be happy with what you have,
      happy with what you have to be happy with
      you have to be happy with what you have
      to be happy with what you have you have to be happy with what you have to happy with

    10. The Power To Believe III

      She carries me ....
      She saved my life ....

    11. The Power To Believe IV: Coda

      She carries me through days of apathy
      She washes over me
      She saved my life in a manner of speaking
      When she gave me back the power to believe
