Knocking Down the Door

La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
They kicked us around, but they didn’t know us
We didn’t cry and we didn’t laugh
We were imperiled and insulted
We acted calm, but we were aghast!
(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!
We’re knocking down the door
We’re knocking down the door
We’re knocking down the door
We’re knocking down the door

Crunch time Crunch time
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
Awake – asleep
Good to be alive, good to be alive, good to be alive
Good to be alive
I was awake – I was asleep
Awake – asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
Awake
I gotta catch up (do it, do it, do it, do it)
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake – asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake
(musical interlude)
July has passed
September, September, September
(do it, do it, do it)
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
Awake . . . asleep
Good to be alive, good to be alive, good to be alive
Good to be alive
Winter is here, yeah winter is here
I lie awake and I wait for . . . for Spring (do it, do it)
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
I was awake – I was asleep
Asleep . . . sleep . . . sleep . . . sleep
Alright now, wake up

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)

Waiting For the Sun
03:14
|

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

New World Coming
by Wilfred Kozub
There’s a new world coming
And it’s coming down on me
Yeah there’s a new world coming
Gonna set us all free
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Yeah there’s a new world comin’
It’s gonna set us free
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
It’s comin’ down on you (repeat)
It’s a secret for now
But you’re gonna find it
You’re bound to learn how
It makes everything fit
There is a new world comin’
And you’re gonna like it
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
Stand up and welcome the new world
It’s comin’ down on you (repeat)
There’s a new world comin’
And it’s comin’ down on me
Yeah there’s a new world comin’
It’s gonna set us all free
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Comin’ down from the sky
Comin’ into your heart
Yeah there’s a new world comin’
It’s gonna be alright
Be alright
There’s a new world
(there’s a new world comin’)
And it’s right overhead
There’s a new world
(there’s a new world comin’)
Just like I said
Down from the sky
From the great by and by
There’s a new world comin’
There’s a new world comin’
There’s a new world comin’

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
