    2. Someday

      Someday
      I'll go away
      Pack my bag
      Get on a plane
      I'll fly up through my cloud
      I'll smash right through
      Right into the sun
      And I know that

      Someday
      I'll turn my back
      Lock the house
      And give up the pain
      And I'll go and take my peace
      Gonna sail away
      For a life and a day
      And I know that

    Chorus

    Someday you're gonna feel the pain
    Someday you're gonna feel the pain
    Someday you're gonna feel the pain
    Someday you're gonna feel the pain


      Someday
      I'll find a way
      Get on my feet
      Walk out the door
      And I'll leave you all the pain
      That you gave to me
      Wrapped in a song
      And I know that

      Someday
      You'll know the day
      You'll know the pain
      It's right here in this song
      And I'll smash right through
      Straight up to the sun
      And you'll know that
    Chorus

    3. Grand Canyon Suite

      When you go home and sleep this night
      Dream of wings and astral flight
      Fly with the speed of waking light
      And we'll go
      And I'll show you
      Show you the way
      To the Grand Canyon

      We'll fly from Yucon Point and awe
      From the ridge down to the floor
      There in its majesty it flows
      Slow as time
      Then like time
      Time, it explodes
      The mighty Colorado

      We'll swoop right up the Canyon wall
      Then, like an eagle, down we'll fall
      To fly through the Canyon on a dream
      See the river
      Crush and roar
      See how it roars
      In the Grand Canyon

      We'll swoop right up the Canyon wall
      Then, like an eagle, down we'll fall
      To fly through the Canyon on a dream
      See the river
      Crush and roar
      See how it roars
      In the Grand Canyon

    5. Credo

      I believe
      The life you live you leave
      Can't conceive
      An extra mortal sleeve
      From near times far
      We come and here we are, we stay
      To play a while upon this earthly stage and leave
      To half-remembered tales
      And half-forgotten lies
      To sing a while
      A song in praising style
      And then forget the words

      I believe in midnight madness
      And ships that pass in the night
      And I believe in love
      Like a child in Santa Claus
      The king who wore no clothes
      Wasn't the only one exposed
      The queue forms beside me
      As I sing my credo to a lost cause

      I believe in constant pauses
      Like a Roman holiday
      And I often stop for air
      As I climb the Spanish stairs
      And the king whose touch was gold
      Was surprised as he grew old
      The queue forms up behind him
      As he sang his credo to a lost cause

      I believe, and you believe, and we believe we're free
      And the air don't cost a thing
      To a bird with a broken wing
      The wisest king of all
      Left his wisdom on the wall
      The queue forms beside me
      As I sing my credo to a lost cause

      I believe, and you believe, and we believe we're free
      And the air don't cost a thing
      But then, that's only to a bird with a broken wing
      Yet the wisest king of all
      Had to leave his wisdom on the wall
      The queue forms up beside me
      As I sing my credo to a lost cause

      I believe
      The life you live you leave
      Can't conceive
      The extra mortal weave

      From near the stars
      You are seen from here, they're yours
      To gaze awhile
      Down to the universe and smile
      As we down here
      We chase the wind and jump the moon
      And play a while
      The game in echoed style
      And disregard the rules
