(As soon as they say “I swear to God,” we know that it’s a lie We’ve got ‘em and we’re not going to stand by!) If we were lost, we didn’t know it We were losing track of time They were audacious and they were confusing We were slightly hypnotized (instrumental interlude . . . knocking down the door . . . knocking down the door) When we were young and had ambition We were put down time after time We were afraid by our own admission You could see it in our eyes We were found when we got lost We were feeling a bit better after awhile And before long we would be strong And we would all be singing . . . knocking down the door (We handled them with kid gloves, for sure – never insecure ANGER . . . smouldering in SILENCE) Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo We’re knocking down the door! Oo oo oo oo oo oo Oo oo oo oo oo oo We’re knocking down the door! We’re knocking down the door! We’re knocking down the door!

Thunder 2020 03:45
You never know where you have been before But now you wonder You’ll never find it where it was before Blown under cover You never know who you may come upon On the tundra You never know if there’ll be anyone On the tundra Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra (repeat) You may forget where you have wandered from On the tundra She found me lost where I had never come On the Tundra She stepped out of the midnight sheet of sun My first sighting She walked toward me and my heart was struck Like lighting Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra (repeat) I think, I think of you I watch, I watch for you I dream, I dream of you – I stand motionless for you Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra Thunder on the tundra, thunder on the tundra (repeat) copyright, ©, 1985, 2019, by Wilfred Kozub/Zönik Music Productions (SOCAN)

When the sun Awakes me to my day And every day Not just another day The sun that makes me feel Everything more real When the sun, when the sun . . . I’m waiting for the sun Behind the moon They found another moon And a world hidden from our view Lost without a name Where no one ever came Another world . . . another moon Waiting for the sun Let the morning sunshine in your eyes Burn the fog away Open up your heart, it’s going to be Another perfect day Yay! When the sun Is hidden by the rain And the rain Is dribbling down the drain I know there’s hope for me When it all comes down on me When the sun, when the sun . . . I’m waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Copyright, ©, 2019, by Wilfred Kozub (SOCAN)

Living in the Future by Wilfred Kozub I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment Living in the future and digging up the past I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment And it’s out of my hands I wonder what it’s gonna be like Living in the future – is it gonna be fine? Living in the future Is it gonna be nice? Somebody out there, somebody knows Where we are going, the way the wind blows The way the wind blows, the way the wind blows Living in a moment I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment I’m living in the future and dreaming of the past We’re all together and what have we done? Done about the future? . . . it’s out of our hands Somebody out there, somebody knows The river is flowing but where does it go? Where does it go? Where does it go? Treading in the water I’m giving up guessing, going with the flow Where the river’s flowing only the river knows Giving up on guessing, going with the flow . . . Only the river knows . . . only the river knows It’s out of our hands Only the river knows It’s out of our hands The river knows Copyright, ©, 2017 by Wilfred Kozub
