ABOUT THE SONG

The term “hardwired” can relate to chaos theory in an interesting conceptual way, especially when you consider systems, patterns, and predictability. Let me break it down carefully:


1. Hardwiring = Fixed Initial Conditions

  • In chaos theory, small differences in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes — the classic “butterfly effect.”

  • Something that is hardwired can be thought of as a fixed parameter or rule in a system.

  • If a system is “hardwired,” it may follow a deterministic rule, but chaos can still emerge if the system is sensitive to initial conditions.

  • Example: The equations governing a double pendulum are fixed (hardwired), yet their motion is highly unpredictable.


2. Hardwiring = Constraints on a Chaotic System

  • Hardwiring sets the boundaries or structure of a system.

  • Chaos doesn’t imply total randomness; it arises within deterministic rules.

  • The “hardwired” aspects define the rules the chaos operates under.

  • Example: In weather systems, physical laws (thermodynamics, fluid dynamics) are hardwired, but the outcomes are chaotic and difficult to predict beyond a certain time horizon.


3. Hardwiring = Feedback Loops

  • Many chaotic systems include feedback loops that amplify small changes.

  • These loops are often “hardwired” into the system structure.

  • Example: In a population model (predator-prey dynamics), the rules governing reproduction and predation are fixed, but the population sizes over time can fluctuate unpredictably.


4. Psychological/Behavioral Analogy

  • If you think of humans as a system, “hardwired” tendencies (genetic or neurological) can interact with the environment in complex ways.

  • Even with “hardwired” behavior, chaotic outcomes can appear due to environmental sensitivity.

  • This is analogous to deterministic chaos: predictable rules, unpredictable outcomes.


In short:

  • Hardwired = deterministic rules or fixed structures in a system.

  • Chaos theory = sensitive dependence on initial conditions within deterministic systems.

  • The connection: hardwired rules can produce chaotic behavior, because fixed rules interacting with small changes can create complex, unpredictable dynamics.

ABOUT THE SONG
From inside a hurricane, it is hard to tell what it going on.

From a macroscopic perspective, a hurricane is analyzed as a massive, organized, and self-sustaining atmospheric heat engine, often spanning hundreds of kilometers, that converts heat energy from warm ocean waters into mechanical energy (wind). This large-scale, top-down view focuses on the system’s overall structure, including the central eye, surrounding eyewall, and spiraling rain bands.

You need to “pull back” to see the what’s going on.

Wayward (Album)

The album “Wayward

Wayward

[Verse 1]
Man, once again
I’m askin’
(What are you thinking?)
Why’s our ship sinking

[Chorus]
Perverse behavior
(In the name of “our” savior)
Playing the role
(Out of control)

[Bridge]
Headin’ toward…
(Wayward)

Oh boy, still you toy
And seem to enjoy

Fields to flame
(Forests fall)
Profit’s claim
(Takes it all)
Concrete veins
(Cross the land)
Empty gains
(Shifting sand)

[Chorus]
Drifted farther
(From the garden)
Burned the barter
(Beg no pardon)
Cut the cord
(From the source)
Turned toward
(A darker course)

[Bridge]
How did we stray?
(Wayward)
What did we trade?
(For steel and shade?)

Sky once clear
(Now it cries)
Plastic tears
(Ocean sighs)
Roots undone
(Topsoil blown)
Chasing sun

To plead
(To succeed)

[Chorus]
Man’s mind’s
(Been led a stray)
I’m hear to say
(Time to find kind)

[Bridge]
We’re here to remind

[Verse 2]
Seeming to feed

Mass consumption
(Is killing us all)
Make a false assumption
(And cause our fall)

Gotta do our part
(To put love above)

True North

Turn to the East

Counting cost
(Not just gain)
Measure loss
(Not just rain)
Reason first
(Then decide)
Quench the thirst
(Not the pride)

[Chorus]
We went astray
(Drifted blind)
Lost the way
(Of heart and mind)
Chart it clear
(Set it right)
True north here
(In shared light)

[Bridge]
We’re here to remind
(We can choose)
Shift the design
(No more excuse)

Living small
(Thinking long)
Stand up tall
(Right the wrong)
Take what’s fair
(Leave the rest)
Learn to care
(That’s the test)

We went astray
(Chasing more)
Turn today
(Open door)
Common ground
(Common sense)
Future found
(In consequence)

Balance action
(With what we share)
Less illusion
(More resolve)
Real solution

Choose the way
(For all our sake)
Root and wing
(Hand in hand)
Mindful living
(Understand)

Restart the chart
(From the start)
Science and heart
(Not pulled apart)
Clear and kind
(Aligned above)
Reasoned mind
(Guided by love)

The Beaten Path

[Verse 1]
Trampled the flora
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Extinct the fauna
(Waa, waa, waa)

[Bridge]
We’ve beaten the path
(Of wrath)

[Chorus]
Now off the beaten trail
(We’re gonna beat it all)
Humans never fail
(To bring on their fall)

[Verse 2]
Stepping without looking
(Blah, blah, blah)
Our temperature’s cooking
(Waa, waa, waa)

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Come on, come on
(Heed the call)

[Outro]
Just in case
(… leave no trace)

Untrodden Ground

[Intro]
We left the path
(Of wrath)

Quiet the thunder
(Hush, hush now)
Listen and wonder
(How? How? How?)

Roots still remember
(Below, below)
Ash turns to ember
(Glow… slow…)

[Pre-Chorus]
Footsteps lighter
(Breathe it in)
Sky a little brighter
(Let’s begin)

[Bridge]
We left the path
(Of wrath)

[Chorus]
Now off the beaten trail
(We can feel it all)
Live to give or fail
(After all, avoid the fall)

Turn the tale
(Hear the call)
Hear the wail
(We can change it all)

[Verse 2]
Lent what was taken
(Grow, grow, grow)
Wake what was shaken
(Show, show, show)

Water the future
(Clear the air)
Mend every fracture
(Repair despair)

[Pre-Chorus]
Hands together
(Step aside)
Stormy weather
(Turn the tide)

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Now off the beaten trail
(We’re gonna feel it all)
Senses can prevail
(If we heed the call)

Break the spell
(Stand up tall)
It’s just as well
(We can change it all)

[Breakdown]
Come on, come on
(Choose the ground)
Come on, come on
(Untrodden ground)

[Outro]
Leave a trace
(Of grace)
Not the race
(But the place)

Wayward Sun

Runaway star
(How bizarre)

Wayward sun
(Is going to carry on)
Likely ejection
(By a supernova explosion)

Runaway star
(How bizarre)

[Verse]
Wayward sun
(Is going to carry on)
Amazing speed
(Yes, indeed)

[Bridge]
Runaway star

(Is going to carry on)
Carry on (and on and on)
They’ll be peace
(When you’re undone)

Carry on wayward sun
(Until you’re done)
Runaway star
(How bizarre)
How close
(Yet… how far…)

ABOUT THE SONG
Runaway Stars: Some stars act in a “wayward” fashion by moving at extreme speeds—sometimes over 1 million miles per hour—through the galaxy, likely ejected from their original binary systems by a supernova explosion.

Carry On Wayward Son

Kansas Cover
Written by Kerry Livgren
Made famous by Kansas

[Intro]
Carry on, my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think, I still was a madman
I hear the voices when I’m dreaming
I can hear them say

[Chorus]
Carry on, my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more

[Verse 2]
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don’t know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I’m like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

[Chorus]
Carry on, my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more (No)

[Bridge]
(Carry on) You will always remember
(Carry on) Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life’s no longer empty
Surely Heaven waits for you

[Chorus]
Carry on, my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
(Don’t you cry) Don’t you cry no more

[Outro]
No more

One Way Street

[Intro]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
Going the wrong way
(On a one way street)

[Verse 1]
Full throttle
Down the road
Very scrotal
(Dude unload)

[Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
Going the wrong way
(On a one way street)

[Bridge]
Brain’s beat
(Not OK)

[Verse 2]
Steppin’ on the gas
Seeing just how fast
Reality passed
(Just can’t last)

[Chorus]
[Bridge]

[Outro]
Lost all sanity
(What a calamity)
Watch man concede…
(To speed)

Wrong Way Sign

[Intro]
See that sign…
(Glowin’ red)
Dead end line
(Ahead, ahead)

[Verse 1]
White lines blur
Tunnel sight
Foot on the spur
(Runnin’ from right)

Signal’s bleedin’
(Amber heat)
Ego’s leadin’
(Concrete street)

[Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
When pride’s in play
(On a one way street)
Turn around
(Admit defeat)
Find new ground
(Get back on your feet)

[Verse 2]
Mirror glance
Cracked and bent
Missed your chance
(Time well spent?)

Rubber’s burnin’
(Smell the heat)
Lesson’s turnin’
(Bitter sweet)

[Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
Chasin’ yesterday
(On a one way street)
Slow it down
(Feel the beat)
Lost ain’t found
(In blind retreat)

[Bridge]
See eyes flare!
(Stop and breathe)
Say a prayer?
(Or just believe)

Reverse the spin
(Admit the flaw)
Let truth begin
(Rewrite the law)

[Final Chorus]
Would you say…
(It’s hard to compete)
Going your own way
(Off that one way street)
Choose your pace
(Not just speed)
Face to face
(With what you need)

[Outro]
Lost no more
(Admit the heat)
Open door
(New two-way street)
Turn the wheel
(Feel complete)
One way healed…
(Repeat… repeat…)

Curve in the Road

[Intro]
Look out!
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
There’s a curve in the road
(We’re about… to unload)

[Verse 1]
Driving along
(Minding my own business)
Whistlin’ a song
(When nevertheless…)

[Bridge]
Along came a mess
Look out!

[Chorus]
There’s a curve in the road
(We’re about… to unload)
Do we have the nerve to swerve
(Look out! Wipe out!)

[Verse 2]
Headin’ home
(Or so I thought)
Done with the roam
(When I almost bought…)

[Bridge]
In alarm:
The Farm
Look out!

[Chorus]
There’s a curve in the road
(We’re about… to unload)
Do we have the nerve to swerve
(Look out! Wipe out!)

[Outro]
There’s a curve in the road
(We’re about… to unload)
Going ’round the bend
(Will it be our end?)

Guardrail

[Intro]
Easy now…
(Might wanna slow it down)
[Muted Guitar Arpeggio, Light Hi-Hat Tick]
There’s a warning sign
(About crossing the line)

[Verse 1]
Cruisin’ fast
(Like we’re built to last)
White lines flash
(Future in the past)
Hands on the wheel
(But the mind slipped away, ay, ay)
Missed the “for real”
(Unaware it’s today)

[Pre-Chorus]
Yellow sign
(Bend ahead)
Too much pride
(Full speed instead)

[Chorus]
There’s a curve in the road
(That truth’s now old)
Best consider the load
(Or lose control)
Feel the “mines” explode
(Hear the story unfold)
There’s a curve in the road—
Take it slow

[Verse 2]
Foot to the floor
(Chasin’ one more mile)
Can’t see the shore (shore, sure)
Turned up the dial
(Through denial)
Dashboard glow
(Blinkin’ red)
What we know
(Left unsaid)

[Bridge]
Guardrail gleam
(In the night)
Flash of steel
(Flash of insight)
Skid and spark
(Choice to make)
Turn the wheel
(Or feel it break)

[Chorus]
There’s a curve in the road
(And the truth’s been told)
Better lighten the load
(Or lose control)
Feel the weight we towed
(Finally unfold)
There’s a curve in the road—
Take it slow

[Breakdown]
Momentum lies
(It always does)
But gravity decides
(Just because)
Every bend
(Is a chance to choose)
Win the turn
(Or blow the fuse)

[Outro]
Ease the wheel
(Feel the ground)
Find the balance
(Safe and sound)
Round the bend
(Still intact)
Learn the lesson
(No impact)

Slow it down…
(Turn it around)

Off Track

[Intro]
As a matter of fact
(Looks like we got off track)

[Refrain]
This train
(Was rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Down the rails

Then just like that
… ya know (it never fails)

[Bridge]
As a matter of fact
(Looks like we got off track)

[Refrain]
Hey! Hey! Train, Can you explain
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Comin’ off the rails
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Knowin’ … (it fails)

[Bridge]
As a matter of fact
(We got off track)
Outta slack
(Watch us roll, roll, roll)
Human nature (takes its toll)

[Refrain]
Hey! Hey! Train, Can you explain
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Comin’ off the rails
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Knowin’ … (it fails)

[Outro]
Hey! Hey! Train, Can you explain
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Came off the tracks
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Knowin’ … (it fails)
As we roll (head over heels)
Know how it feels (it feels)
… “for reals”

On Track Again

[Intro]
Haven’t you heard
(All aboard!)
Just like that
(We can put it back)

[Verse 1]
Steel and spark
(In the dark)
Lost the line
(Missed the mark)
Signal’s red
(Ahead, ahead)
But we ain’t dead
(Not yet, not yet)

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that click-clack comin’ back
(Slow and steady on the track)

[Refrain]
This train
(Was driftin’, driftin’, driftin’)
Off the side
(shiftin’, shiftin’, shiftin’)
But just like that
We decide… (to realign)

[Bridge]
Switch the rail
(Tell the tale)
Every fail
(Leaves a trail)

[Verse 2]
Too much speed
(Too much need)
Too much greed
(Plant the seed)
Ease the brake
(For our sake)
Give and take
(What we make)

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that rhythm in the wheels
(That’s the sound of somethin’ real)

[Refrain]
Hey! Hey! Train, feel the gain
(Climbin’, climbin’, climbin’)
Back in line
(Timin’, timin’, timin’)
Knowin’ we can
Redesign… (the line)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
Off track once
(Don’t mean forever)
Steel can bend
(But it holds together)
Human nature
(Can control the roll)
Mind the switch
(Reclaim the soul)

[Final Refrain]
Hey! Hey! Train, now explain
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Back on the rails
(Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’)
Knowin’ we learn
From the fails… (prevails)

[Outro]
Click-clack sound
(Safe and sound)
Turned it ‘round
(Track we found)
As we roll (heel to heel)
Know how it feels (it feels)
… for real.

Chaotic

[Intro]
Too complex
(Too sensitive)
Perplex initiative
(Can’t figure it out)

[Verse 1]
Nonlinear
(That’s for sure)
Butterfly wings
(And little things)

[Bridge]
Dynamic
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Thick (in chaotic)

[Chorus]
Too complex
(Too sensitive)
Perplex initiative
(Can’t figure it out)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
That’s what this is about

[Verse 2]
Upon reflection
(Teleconnection)
Butterfly wings
(And little things)

[Bridge]
Dynamic
Thick (in chaotic)

[Chorus]
Too complex
(Too sensitive)
Perplex initiative
(Can’t figure it out)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
That’s what this is about

[Outro]
Startin’ to figure it out
(What it’s all about)
How to remove the doubt

ABOUT THE SONG
In physics, “unpredictability” can mean either that a system is fundamentally probabilistic (indeterministic) or that it is too complex or sensitive for long-term forecasting (chaotic). While classical physics suggests a “clockwork” universe, modern physics has revealed several fundamental areas where prediction is impossible, either in principle or in practice.

Strange Attractor

[Intro]
Fa, fa, fa
(phase space)
Random spin
(Spiral in)
Fractured grin
(Where to begin?)

[Verse 1]
Feedback loops
(Circlin’ tight)
Phase shifts
(Day to night)
Tiny push
(Mass effect)
Loose thread
(Disconnect)

[Bridge]
Nonlinear
(Crystal clear?)
Sensitive
(Interference)
Order hides inside the doubt.
(Spreading out)
Fa, fa, fa
(phase space)

[Chorus]
Strange attractor
(Pullin’ us in)
Hidden factor
(Beneath the din)
Through the fracture
(New patterns begin)
Start to map it out
(From within)

[Verse 2]
Edge of phase
(Tipping point)
Joint arrays
(Every joint)
Teleconnections hum
(Across the sky)
What seems undone
(Ties you and I)

[Bridge]
Dynamic
(Not static)
Chaotic
(But not tragic)
Noise becomes a voice—if you listen.
(Within)
Without
(Shout)
Fa, fa, fa
(phase space)

[Chorus]
Strange attractor
(Pullin’ us in)
Hidden factor
(Beneath the spin)
Through the fracture
(We begin again)
Start to figure it out
(Where we’ve been)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
Fa, fa, fa
(phase space)
Not random—
Responsive.
Not broken—
Expansive.

[Final Chorus]
Strange attractor
(Out of the storm)
Hidden factor
(Changing form)
Through the fracture
(A new norm)
Now we see what it’s about
(Reform)

[Outro]
From the doubt
(Comes a route)
From the spin
(We begin)
Startin’ to figure it out
(That’s what it’s about)
Chaos breathing in and out
… and out … and out.
(La, la, la)
Fa, fa, fa
(phase space)

ABOUT THE SONG
Strange attractors are complex, fractal-shaped, bounded regions in phase space that nonlinear, chaotic systems are drawn toward over time. They represent a unique form of order within chaos, characterized by extreme sensitivity to initial conditions (the butterfly effect) and a positive Lyapunov exponent, meaning nearby trajectories diverge exponentially. Common examples include the Lorenz attractor in weather modeling.

Far Away

[Intro]
(Say…)
How far away?

[Verse 1]
Is the next 24 hours
(… ours)
Is any of this time
(Mine?)

[Bridge]
(Say…)
How far away?

[Chorus]
About tomorrow
(How far away)
Will it follow
(Today’s day)

[Verse 2]
Do I need to fear
(For another year)
Or is our time
(Just reaching prime)

[Bridge]
(Say)
How far away…
(Is the day)

[Chorus]
About tomorrow
(How far away)
Will it follow
(Today’s day)

[Bridge]
(Say)
How far away…
(Is the day)
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
It it today
(Today is the day)
It’s come our way
(Our hour)

Right Here

[Intro]
(Hey…)
Not far away.

[Verse 1]
You count the miles
(In your mind)
Chasin’ whiles
(You won’t find)
Search the sky
(For a sign)
Miss the why
(In the time)

[Bridge]
(Hey…)
Not far away.
It’s here to stay.

[Chorus]
About tomorrow
(It’s not far away)
It will follow
(What we do today)
No need to borrow
(From yesterday)
The hour’s ours now
(Right here… this way)

[Verse 2]
Fear the year
(Disappear)
Hold it near
(While it’s here)
Every prime
(Is in time)
Every chime
(Says you’re fine)

[Bridge]
(Hey…)
Not far away…
It’s in the sway.

[Chorus]
About tomorrow
(It’s not far away)
It will follow
(What we choose today)
Why live in sorrow
(Or disarray)
When the power is now
(Right here… today)

[Breakdown]
Distance is a trick of the mind.
Time is a line we draw.
Step across it—
And you’re already there.

[Final Chorus]
About tomorrow
(It’s not far away)
It will follow
(What we make today)
No more shadow
(No more delay)
The moment is ours
(Right here… to stay)

[Outro]
It’s not far away
(It’s here to stay)
No need to stray
(You’ll find the way)
This is the hour
(Our power)
Right here.
(Right now.)
Wow!

[Chorus]
Getting blown about

Anchor in the Wind

[Intro]
Weather…

Lost at sea
(In the crowd)

[Bridge]
No more feather
(Drift forever)
Stormy weather
(We stand together)
[Organ Swell, Snare Build]

[Chorus]
Plant your feet
(On solid ground)
Hear the beat
(A steady sound)
Any way the wind blows
(We won’t go)
Round and round

[Verse 2]
From the North
(To the South)
Less of the talk
(More than mouth)
Draw a line
(Claim your claim)
Spine to spine
(Name your name)

[Bridge]
Weather shifts
(That’s the game)
Whether we drift
(Or take aim)

[Chorus]
Plant your feet
(On solid ground)
Find the truth
(In what you’ve found)
Any way the wind blows
(We still know)
What we’re about

[Breakdown]
Not a feather
(Not today)
Bound together
(Find our way)

[Outro]
The moral of the story:
(Not wayward)
Becomes our history
(Forward, upward)
Through whatever weather
(Strong as ever)

Awry

[Intro]
Asking:
(Why awry?)

[Verse 1]
Walking without a compass
(Walking round and round)
Can’t walk a straight line
(Veering off course, we whine)

[Chorus]
Are you going to fast
(Moving too slow)
Can it really last
(Do you even know)

[Bridge]
Asking:
(Why awry?)

[Verse 2]
Lost in the big city
(Can’t find our way home)
Wallow in self-pity
(Where ever we roam)

[Chorus]
Are you going to fast
(Moving too slow)
Can it really last
(Do you even know)

[Bridge]
Asking:
(Why awry?)
We can find our way back
(Let’s give ‘er a whack!)

[Outro]
Find our way back
(Whack, whack, whack)
Find our way back
(To the future)
Ensure endure

A Why?

[Intro]
A simple why
(Why?)

Listening:
(Heart inside)

[Verse 1]
Spinning in circles
(Tracing old ground)
Chasing reflections
(Lost then found)
Reading the signals
(Buried in noise)
Trading our silence
(For reckless choice)

[Chorus]
Slow it down fast
(Steady the flow)
Make it last
(Let it grow)
When the map fades black
(Look to the sky)
Find true north
(Ask “not why”)

[Bridge]
A simple why
(Why?)
Answering:
(Not awry)

[Verse 2]
City of mirrors
(Neon disguise)
Truth in the static
(Hidden in lies)
Step off the spiral
(Break the refrain)
Cut through the chaos
(Rewire the brain)

[Chorus]
Slow it down fast
(Steady the flow)
Make it last
(Let it grow)
When the road bends back
(Don’t deny)
Find true north
(Clarify)

[Bridge]
Turning:
(Realign)
We can draw the line
(One step at a time)

[Outro]
Back on the track
(No alibi)
Future intact
(No more awry)
No more “why”
(No, don’t cry)
Hold the course
(Amplify)
True north found
(We testify)

Amiss

Remedy

[Intro]
Heal Nature,
(Can we mend this)
Take a deep breath
(Feel the world spin less)
Spin (spin, spin)

[Verse 1]
Whispering trees
(The leaves, they speak)
Echoes of time
(We can listen if we seek)
Seek (seek, seek)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
A chance to fix (mend)

[Chorus]
A little remedy, see?
(Yes, a lot)
Plant this seed
(Watch it grow)

[Bridge 2]
Love Nature,
(The mother waits patiently)
Once again…
(We can shift amiss to bliss)
Take a deep breath
(And watch the world forgive)
Spin (spin, spin)

[Chorus]
A little remedy, see?
(Yes, a lot)
Plant this seed
(Let it root)

[Chorus]
A little remedy, see?
(Know – “a lot!”)
Care for this wish
(Pure the cost)

[Outro]
Mother Nature,
(Where should we start?)
Once again…
(Help us mend amiss)
A touch… a kiss
(Lost no more)
Who can miss?
(We have this)
Such is bliss.

[Bridge]
[Instrumental – Clean Guitar Arpeggio, Steady Kick Pulse]
(Hey…)
Not far away.
It’s here to stay.
[Short Guitar Solo — lyrical, upward]

[Chorus]
About tomorrow
(It’s not far away)
It will follow
(What we do today)
No need to borrow
(From yesterday)
The hour’s ours now
(Right here… this way)

[Instrumental – Saxophone Solo, Smooth Organ Stabs]

[Verse 2]
Fear the year
(Disappear)
Hold it near
(While it’s here)
Every prime
(Is in time)
Every chime
(Says you’re fine)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental – Bass Pulse Stronger, Snare March Light]
(Hey…)
Not far away…
It’s in the sway.
[Instrumental – Guitar Solo, warmer tone]

[Chorus]
About tomorrow
(It’s not far away)
It will follow
(What we choose today)
Why live in sorrow
(Or disarray)
When the power is now
(Right here… today)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Distance is a trick of the mind.
Time is a line we draw.
Step across it—
And you’re already there.

[Build: Rising Synth Filter, Cymbal Crescendo]

[Final Chorus]
About tomorrow
(It’s not far away)
It will follow
(What we make today)
No more shadow
(No more delay)
The moment is ours
(Right here… to stay)

[Outro]
[Instrumental – Piano and Organ Sustain, Guitar Echo Lines]
It’s not far away
(It’s here to stay)
No need to stray
(You’ll find the way)
This is the hour
(Our power)
Right here.
(Right now.)
Wow!
