Someone else’s familiar face Is waiting at the window Of someone else’s favorite place Not for me to come in, though. Should I keep to the road Look down at my feet Turn the other cheek? There’s a time to be shy A time to be bolder And nothing is colder Than 'the shoulder' Be Kind, Be Kind Be Kind to Strangers Be Kind, Be Kind Be Kind to Strangers So here I am, a different face Won’t you look into my eyes And smile at this once-empty space That I now occupy? There’s a time to be shy A time to be bolder And nothing is colder Than 'the shoulder' Be Kind, Be Kind Be Kind to Strangers Be Kind, Be Kind Be Kind to Strangers Be Kind, Be Kind Be Kind to Strangers Be Kind, Be Kind Be Kind to Strangers

But I Wonder 03:06
I once met a girl so young / I could tell by her actions So I asked her to be the one/ I’m talkin’ dereliction She didn’t say anything / So I walked away I guess she didn’t know the meaning / But I wonder still today Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder I went to another place / I knew she’d never been there But my heart began to race / and I didn’t care I went from door to Doria / asked for her by her name They’d never heard of her before / But I Wonder just the same Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder I still am caught in the spell / for all it seems I think I’ll never get well / I surrender to this dream If I’ve been wrong all along / there’s no more I can say Both the real and the dream girl are gone / But I Wonder anyway Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah But I Wonder Ah-ha ah-a-a-a-ah

Evicted 03:21
Sitting there sipping a cup of coffee At a stoplight in Berkeley in his pick-up truck An emergency crew was stopped there too; They rushed in when the tree fell and crushed him And everybody said it was so weird Something nobody would have predicted But we are all just tenants here And that day, that guy got Evicted No legal notice Evicted No posted warning Evicted Just a final summons Evicted That fateful morning. Driving south through Vacaville in the rain a car hit a cow in the northbound lane That heifer flew and crashed into the windshield of her truck And they were both out of luck And everybody said it was so weird Something nobody would have predicted But we are all just tenants here And that day that gal and that cow got Evicted No legal notice Evicted No posted warning Evicted Just a final summons Evicted And now we're mourning. Don't mistake what I'm saying now This isn't legal advice But steering clear of falling trees and flying cows Would be nice. Evicted No legal notice Evicted No posted warning Evicted Just a final summons Evicted Some fateful morning.

When I was a child I was treated so bad Ignored by my mom And abused by my dad I learned loving meant pain And being alone Calling somebody's name Whose love never came home Don't tell me I'm wrong: I know what I've known, I'm not the one Who made it be that way Well, a voice in my head says It's always the same But a voice in my heart says Let go of the pain Still, when I feel love I clamp down really hard 'Cause I keep that bad dog Tied up in the yard. Don't tell me I'm wrong Don't tell me I'm wrong I'm not the one… Who made it be that way? I ran away to the church A child alone They didn’t want to know What was going on Got there in the dark The door was locked So I waited in the breezeway. At sun up, a woman came Looked at me sideways, Didn’t ask my name and stated: I’ll give you some toast, You can sit and eat with us, But don’t speak to Father About why you came. It was all I could do To run away And sit there in the dark so bold But in the light of day I was a good girl I did what I was told I did what I was told I choked down that dry toast As if it was the host And waited for the priest To ask me to speak But he wouldn’t look up Over his coffee cup Just kept his nose stuck In the newspaper And the teacher calling Yet again School work is suffering Is there something at home? I ran away to the church A child alone They didn’t want to know What was going on I ran away to my friends But they couldn’t help me. I’ve been living in hell ‘cause I thought that I had to Treat myself well— I never learned how to. If you come to my door I’d really like to let you in But how can I be sure It won’t happen again? Don't tell me I'm wrong Don't tell me I'm wrong I'm not the one Who made it be that way. Don't tell me I'm wrong Don't tell me I'm wrong I'm not the one Who made it be that way. Don't tell me I'm wrong Don't tell me I'm wrong I'm not the one— Who made it be that way?

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin' Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin' Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along) I hope you dance I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone?) I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Dance I hope you dance I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder?)
