The Dream (for Pepper) - Lyrics

Welcome to a universe that’s made of sound
We’re so grateful that you stopped to listen in
Been feelin so alone without you here

Let me tell you bout a dream I once had
One that came to me the night my cat died
The images keep running through my mind

I was running through a house on fire
Trying to retrieve the things that matter
There was nothing in the house except my cat

Through the door and to the left
In a bedroom up the stairs
That’s where I found her waiting for me

...Running through my mind…

Now I think about the dream quite often
And I view it as a gift she’s given
Everything you need is right beside you now

Through the door and to the left
In a bedroom up the stairs
That’s where I found her waiting for me

Over and over
The images, they run through my mind
Over and over
The images, they run through my mind
Over and over
The images, they run through my mind
When I woke up, it all stopped



Fly Away - Lyrics

Stand up on the moon and things don’t seem so bad at all
Looking back on Earth, you’d feel so insignificant

Fly away, fly away, fly away

And it’s such a shame, the fact that we don’t realize
Searching through the sky, it seems that no one is around

A beautiful display, It’s just another day, don’t let it slip away (lead vox)
Fly away, fly away, fly away (background vox)

I just want to fly, far away from all this suffering
To a distant land, where the people all are free

But I know that we must fight to make this the place
That we long to fly to

Da da da da da da...

Flying out in, outer space and, looking back at the beautiful Earth


Oasis in the Void - Lyrics

Ah…

The Universe reveals itself to you, wake up!
Don’t waste it

Ah….

This is an oasis
Earth is an oasis in the void

Ah…



Satoshi - Lyrics

These are the ramblings of a man who’s been betrayed
By the world he was dismayed
Those in power are the ones who should not be
It goes on and on and on…

Ooh…. We've got a way to free ourselves
Possibilities unlocked
Something they cannot take away
Verify a chain of blocks

Technology’s our only hope to liberate
but the dangers are so great
As if that wasn’t bad enough
As if that wouldn’t make you think twice
When the people are not free

Ooh…. We've got a way to free ourselves
Possibilities unlocked
Something they cannot take away
Verify a chain of blocks,
There is no turning back
