Mike:
I've got this - it's all coming into focus. Everything was leadin' up to now and I know this. This is the moment of decision, the move to make. I thought I already did and made a huge mistake. But it makes sense now - the numbers come together. From under terrible storm clouds to sunny weather. It's like a fog has lifted; so long I've drifted through this bog and with me, I've been schleppin' around a song or fifty.
Now I'm releasin' em, sendin' em off to high places - like bringin' my kids to their first day of school; bright faces and tied laces, a backpack full of rap tracks. Show 'em what you're made of, slugger... and that's that. High hopes that what started as zygotes can meet the frequency of their sine notes, balance the tight ropes - bring daddy home good grades. You've all done a lot for me, and I would stay, but I've got friends in all the right places. I know what they want, I can see it in their faces. They wanna see me sail this ship to the edge of the earth. They know what the quest will be worth. Never having to look back and say what if; staring at the other vessels adrift. This is my passion and gift, just what I wanted to do, and if you've got one, you should follow it too.
CHORUS:
'Cuz all the best things come with a fight. Better your chances by battling hard.
Every time that you fall down, get up - dust off your shirt and keep your battery charged.
Pay attention to the people around you. Keep those who love you, sever who don't.
It might be hard to see, but the sky is always open. Hold - On - Push - East. Never lose HOPE.
Zak:
The words that I speak no longer hold weight
Even the richest could not have bought and sold fate
Waiting for life to start moving at its usual rate, and transcend
I'm just perusing as a casual state
I close my eyes and float down the river, corrode the shores of thought
Sediment of sentiment withers
Sticks and stones were thrown to break bones, and words wounds where sores are shown
So put up your lighter, make it brighter than the center of the Sun
Could never go back and unwrite all the songs that I've ever sung
Thunder bellows and lightning strikes as I see,
White and yellow frightening skies as I seek
A brighter, cleaner morning and a cloudless afternoon
Rain, rain, go away; doubtless, it'll be back soon.
Spring's around the corner, grass will soon be green again
Rings around the mourners, at least we have to meet an end
Put our hands together, let our fingers intertwine
Make something to stand forever. 
A singer in a time
when the world needs music to help remind us with each note:
to NEVER give up, stop living, release hope.
Each key pressed, every scrape of a violin's bow
Each line confessed, every stage an inspiring show
Impart a lesson only taught with age: the sword can stay in the scabbard
The pen is touching the page.
CHORUS
