I'm sittin here right across the table,
Tryin' to remember if I   am   able to
Do this thing where we all get together.

It's been so long since I have witnessed a
Gathering of colleagues for fun and business and we
Walk across the city, despite the weather.  (It's cold!)  But it don't

Matter in the end, coz we are
Chattering with friends.  It's a
Day that's like no other with my
Sisters and my brothers, and we play.

We share Our Story, make each other laugh.
Some worked together for a year and a half without a
Face to face, coz we've been workin' alone.

Some of us needed some help to enter the
Office but we make it to Seattle Center lookin'
Down on the city a third of us call our home. 

And it don't
Matter in the end, coz we are
Gathering with friends.  It's a
Day that's like no other with my
Sisters and my brothers, and we

Play with the music, it don't
Matter if it's confusing from the
First note to our jam out we all play.

And it don't
Matter in the end, coz we are
Chattering with friends.  It's a
Day that's like no other with my
Sisters and my brothers, and we

Play with the music, it don't
Matter if it's confusing from the
First note to our jam out we all play.

Lyrics:
Dark   grey fog fills the morn-in'     'fore the   light of the sun.        And
To     this day   I    am born in-     to    what  e  -  ver    comes next. The
Skies' ex - panse rarely  seen and yet life  still thrives in   shade.     With
Just   a    few helping   green hands, we'll en -  sure  it's
made to     last for      ge - ne-

-rations yet to come,   it'll be a while 'till it's done.          Try to
Have a little fun as you make your mark upon the ground.     We've got an
Instrumental plan           for us all to lend a hand          and make a
Planetary band.            Where voices  join in har - mo - ny          a 
humanified sound.  Connected 'coz we're Earthbound.                 We're

More   a - like than distin-guished. And yet   we   sep - a- rate.          We
Hold   the pow'r to  ex-  tin- guish.    Don't give in to hat-red.        Some
Choose to  grin  and  bear it,      this sense of   sol - i  -   tude.    I've
Got    a   light and I'll share it.      Fill  the  world with 
love and    joy  for      ge - ne-

-rations yet to come,   it'll be a while 'till it's done.          Try to
Have a little fun as you make your mark upon the ground.     We've got an
Instrumental plan           for us all to lend a hand          and make a
Planetary band.            Where voices  join in har - mo - ny          a 
humanified sound.  Connected 'coz we're Earthbound.                 We're

Now the temperature is rising.  Justifying enterprising.
Make your light externalizing,  and we'll 
sing about the thing we bring,
Ruminate on all our gifts, illuminate and lift the gene-

-rations yet to come,   it'll be a while 'till it's done.          Try to
Have a little fun as you make your mark upon the ground.     We've got an
Instrumental plan           for us all to lend a hand          and make a
Planetary band.            Where voices  join in har - mo - ny          a 
humanified sound.  Connected 'coz we're Earthbound.                  
Protected 'coz we're Earthbound.                             
In you I am reflected 'coz we're Earthbound.
