“In the Wilderness”
In the wilderness of the mind
In the forest of the brain
In the garden of memories
Thoughts bloom and dreams grow.

"You Gotta Be"
(short version)
You gotta be free. You gotta be
Be all you can. Be what you can.
Do whatcha can. Do all you can
You gotta be. You gotta do.
Freedom. Be free. Be you
Freedom to be. Freedom to do
Do it! Do it! Do it now.
Learn. Change. Grow and how!
What's the next step?
What's the next move?
You gotta be quick
Or you get left behind.
No time for anger. No time for pain
No time to hate. No time to waste
What have you begun?
Is it happening?
And where are you going?
Is it nice there? Is it good there?
Is it good for your head there?
Is it good for your body?
Is it good for your soul?
Don't stand still. Don't just exist.
You gotta be. You gotta do
Freedom. Be free. Be you.
