Be Yourself

Wake up to a new day yet all is still the same
Get up out of my bed into this cookie-cutter frame
My dad looked at me, I knew that he could tell
He gave me some good advice and this is what he said:
Just be yourself
Be anything you want
Be yourself
Do whatever you need to
Be yourself
Finally, you can see
It's all you need to
Be yourself
I want to spread the message to everyone around
There needs to be more color in this monochromatic town
It takes courage to be different when the world will not change
If you don't think you know what to do, just listen to what I say
Just be yourself
Be anything you want
Be yourself
Do whatever you need to
Be yourself
Finally, you can see
It's all you need to
Be yourself
It's scary, yes I know
To be out in this world alone
But it's what you have to do to make a change
It's scary, yes I know
To be out in this world alone
But it's what you have to do
Just be yourself
Be anything you want
Be yourself
Do whatever you need to
Be yourself
Finally, you can see
It's all you need to
Be yourself

Dave's Song

Why is there a bassoon in,
In our ska band?
It really is a worthless thing
But we love him anyway
Or so he thinks
Dave you are real' weird
What are we gonna do?
One day you just appeared
If we only knew
You played bassoon
Dave why do you play bassoon?

Birthday on a Bus
02:55
|

|
Wake up early this morning
My seat partner was snoring
Wasn't anything I could do
How much longer is this ride oh
I just want to go back to Ohio
But that seems easier said than done
Spending this time with these people
Makes me want to take off the wheels
But I know that I must wait it out
This is the day that should be
It should be all about me
I just want all of them to see
I know that my life sucks
I'm spending my birthday on a bus
Looking out the window
Watching all the rain flow
Somehow everything's at peace
How much longer is this ride oh
I think I want to go back to Ohio
But that seems easier said than done
Spending this time with these people
Makes me want to take off the wheels
But I know that we'll be home soon
This is the day that should be
It should be all about me
I just want all of them to see
I know that my life sucks
I'm spending my birthday on a bus
Spent the last week having fun
Down in the Florida sun
But now, that is all gone
I don't want to go
Don't want to go back home
Turn around, take me right back
How much longer is this ride oh
I don't want to go back to Ohio
Why can't we just have a little more time?
Spending this time with these people
Makes me see that this is real
Why can't I just live my life here?
This is the day that should be
It should be all about me
I just want all of them to see
I know that my life sucks
I'm spending my birthday on a bus
This is the day that should be
It should be all about me
I just want all of them to see
I know that my life sucks
I'm spending my birthday on a bus
Birthday on a bus
Happy Birthday to me

The View From Above
03:39

There's something out there
If you look closely
There's something there for everyone
You gotta try harder
If you look closely
You will find that all along
You were right where you belong
You gotta look up gotta look down
To the left, to the right, and everywhere around
You'll see you'll fall in love
With the view from above
The view from above
Just open your eyes
Take a look around and see
This world on display
Now wash off your worries
Take a look around and live
For you've been missing out
It's time to remove the doubt
You gotta look up gotta look down
To the left, to the right, and everywhere around
You'll see you'll fall in love
With the view from above
(Rockin' sax solo!)
You gotta look up gotta look down
To the left, to the right, and everywhere around
You'll see you'll fall in love
With the view from above
You gotta look up gotta look down
To the left, to the right, and everywhere around
You'll see you'll fall in love
With the view from above
The view from above
The view from above

Live it Up

Every day I'm happy and content
I smile and play, I'm out of this lament
I've found my place where I can be free
Now I live open and happy
I'm not alone
You're by my side
My heart's my home
I'm comfortable inside
I'm loving life
I am happy
I'm having fun
Can't you see?
Oh you gotta know how
To live it up
Live it up
Just have some fun and then you'll see
Let go of all of your worries
Every day, all the time
Don't need a reason or a rhyme
To live it up
You gotta live it up
There's a party in town
I'm inviting you
So come with me now
This is your cue
You only get one shot
To live it up
You gotta live it up
Just have some fun and then you'll see
Let go of all of your worries
Every day, all the time
Don't need a reason or a rhyme
To live it up
Live it up
Live your life, live it out, live out loud, know what's up
Come on, you gotta live it up
Just have some fun and then you'll see
Let go of all of your worries
Just have some fun and then you'll see
Let go of all of your worries
