Show me all your colours
Red and blue and green
And I will write a song
I'll write a song
And maybe under all the lights
I'll sing it for you
Will you sing along
Sing along
La da da.....
Show me all your colours
Red and blue and green
And I will write a song
I'll write a song
And maybe under all the lights
I'll sing it for you
Will you sing along
Sing along
'Cause this day it's too short to let it fly
And the moments they keep on passing by
So let's ride all the way to the shoreline
Where the road ends and we'll fly
We'll fly away
La da da....
'Cause this day it's too short to let it fly
And the moments they keep on passing by
So let's ride all the way to the shoreline
Where the road ends and we'll fly
We'll fly away
La da da....
Show me all your colours
Red and blue and green
And I will write a song
I'll write a song
And maybe under all the lights
I'll sing it for you
Will you sing along
Yeah you'll sing along

rainy Monday
ain't nobody's fun day
streaming down the window
rushing to the storm drain
it's a fine thing
being stuck inside and
watching all the feelings
water brings to light
but there ain't no pain
through the pouring rain
and she swings her hips
and she curls her ruby lips
do do doo doo doo dooo la la la laaaaa....
early morning
buzzing interrupting
pulling on the dreamer
shaking her awake
it's a fine thing
rushing for the time and
running out the door and
joining in the race
but there ain't no pain
and it's a brand new day
and she swings her hips
and she curls her ruby lips
do do doo doo doo dooo la la la laaaaa....
and in her heart she's like a little bird
she floats away a-high above the world
and all the hustle bustle of the world falls behind
do do doo doo doo dooo la la la laaaaa....
city's bustling
everybody's rushing
cars and people fussing
trying to find their place
stop and listen
you can't hear yourself think
a hundred plates are spinning
rattling 'round your brain
but there ain't no pain
and it's the same old day
and she swings her hips
and she curls her ruby lips
do do doo doo doo dooo la la la laaaaa....

Find Your Loud

A storm has taken its toll here
And its blinded the moon
And through the wailing wreckage
A drum beats "doon.... doon doon"
You can hear the children singing
Their songs of peace
But the sky is falling falling
Oh at their feet "doon doon"
And the drum goes doon doon doon dah nah
Oh doon doon doon dah nah
Oh doon doon doon dah nah
Oh doon doon doon dah nah
And how have we come to this
What are we standing for
Can't you hear their voices crying "look here! look here!"
We're covering up our eyes
We're covering up our ears
And all the while they're calling, calling
"beat your drum for me, beat your drum for me"
So make a stand
And find your loud woah
And beat your drum doon doon doon dah nah
And feel it now
And the drum goes doon doon doon dah nah
Oh doon doon doon dah nah
Oh doon doon doon dah nah
Oh doon doon doon dah nah

I don't care if they run me down
I'm gonna run this race of mine
I don't care if their sun don't shine on me
I got my own right here
Sticks and stones they may break my bones
But maybe they won't
No maybe not
They may call at me
Shout my name
Call me a fool
But just give it a shot
Keep these feet on this ground no sir
I'm gonna fly
Take a picture of that
If you can't see it
I'm still right here doing my thing
As a matter of fact
<<Saint Soldier's magnificent word>>
Rumble rumble just like a freight train that lights ignites my soul
Rumble rumble just like a freight train that lights ignites my soul
Rumble rumble just like a freight train that lights ignites my soul
Rumble rumble just like a freight train that lights ignites my soul
Rumble rumble just like a freight train that lights ignites my soul

You thought you had it inside
You thought you had it alright
Hey woah
But like a thief in the night
Your luck is clear outta sight
Hey woah
But you don't get to plead
And that won't change a thing
'Cause this is all decided
And I won't change my mind
When you put up a fight
My tender heart is bleeding
Hey hey hey
Ho ho ho
It's grumpy grumpy business
Ho ho ho
It's grumpy grumpy business
You thought you had it inside
You thought you had it alright
Hey woah
You laid it all on the line
You thought you had me this time
Hey woah
But you don't get to plead
And that won't change a thing
'Cause this is all decided
And I won't change my mind
When you put up a fight
My tender heart is bleeding
Hey hey hey
Ho ho ho
It's grumpy grumpy business
Hey hey hey
Ho ho ho
It's grumpy grumpy business
It's grumpy business..... oooh hey it's grumpy business hey....
