"Bring it On" - Soul Pilgrims

Hey Dad, let's go and watch some cartoons
Hey Dad, almost time for Scooby Doo
Hey Dad, we could make some breakfast
Hey Dad, maybe that's what we could do?
Hey Dad, you could hit some ground balls
Don'tcha hold back I been workin' on my game
Hey Dad, show me what you got and I'll be showin' you the same

Or we can hang around and do a whole lot of nothin'
A whole lot of nothin'
There's a whole lot of nothin' we can do

Hey Dad, check out my report card
Again, I made the honor roll
Hey Dad, we could catch a matinee
'Monster Dog Part 2' opens today
Hey Dad, time-travel to the future
I know, my son will be so glad that you came
Hey Dad, don'tcha know, don'tcha know he is carrying our name

Or we can hang around and do a whole lot of nothin'
A whole lot of nothin'
There's a whole lot of nothin' we can do

A whole lot of nothin' is really really somethin'
A whole lot of nothin' is really really somethin' with you
A whole lot of nothin' is really really somethin'
A whole lot of nothin' is really really somethin' with you

"Hey Dad" - Soul Pilgrims

EV’RY YEAR YEAH YOU CAN’T WAIT
AND WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE?
THE CELEBRATION OF YOUR BIRTH
HERE’S MY TWO CENTS FOR WHAT THEY’RE WORTH

YOU’RE THINKING WHAT’S THE POINT OF IT
WHEN IT’S REALLY JUST THE OPPOSITE

IF YOU KNEW THE DAY
KNOWING JUST MIGHT BE OKAY
YOU MIGHT SEE THINGS IN A DIFF’RENT WAY 
IF YOU KNEW THE DAY

SO ADD ONE MORE CANDLE TO YOUR CAKE
WHAT DIFF’RENCE WILL ANOTHER YEAR MAKE?
ON THAT SORRY DATE IN HISTORY
WHAT WILL THEY SQUEEZE IN YOUR OBIT’URY?
I OFFER YOU THIS TWIST OF FATE
NOW THAT YOU REALIZE,  WHY HESITATE?

IF YOU KNEW THE DAY
KNOWING JUST MIGHT BE OKAY
YOU MIGHT SEE THINGS IN A DIFF’RENT WAY 
IF YOU KNEW,  IF YOU KNEW,  IF YOU KNEW THE DAY

AND WHEN THEY LAY YOU DOWN TO SLEEP,
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND WHAT WILL YOU KEEP?
AND WHEN THAT FERRY CARRIES YOU AWAY,
WILL THERE BE REGRETS,  IF YOU KNEW,  IF YOU KNEW …

IF YOU KNEW THE DAY
KNOWING JUST MIGHT BE OKAY
YOU MIGHT SEE THINGS IN A DIFF’RENT WAY 
IF YOU KNEW,  IF YOU KNEW
IF YOU KNEW THE DAY
KNOWING JUST MIGHT BE OKAY
YOU MIGHT SEE THINGS IN A DIFF’RENT WAY 
IF YOU KNEW,  IF YOU KNEW,  IF YOU KNEW THE DAY

If You Knew the Day  -  Soul Pilgrims

The sour grapes you are tasting
could be the price for all the faking
Moments of greatness flicker
Jiffy Pop little bit quicker

So try and understand
Try if you can
Your 15 minutes
Your 15 minutes are over, over
Did you think that it would last forever?
Over, over, step aside

Now you are staging a come-back
Always a few seep through the cracks
We hit it off our first meeting
But you should've known fame is fleeting

It wasn't part of the plan
Those last grains of sand
Your 15 minutes
Your 15 minutes are over, over
Did you think that it would last forever?
Over, over, step aside

I'm nobody! who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there's a pair of us -
Don't tell! They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
to tell your name the livelong day
to an admiring bog

Ribbit!

Your 15 minutes
Your 15 minutes are over, over
Did you think that it would last forever?
Over, over ..

"Your 15 Minutes" - Soul Pilgrims

When the one you want is taken
The one who might set you free
And you tell yourself, you tell yourself
This can't be happening to me
It's a hopeless situation
Or perhaps a desperate plea
When it's coming down
Feel it coming down
Down to reality
So I'm thankful for the music
Yes, I'm thankful for the music
And if music be my savoir
Lift me up, lift me up, I won't make it alone

In your heart there's no mistaking
In your heart it was meant to be
And you can't believe
No, you can't believe in a word known as destiny
I could masquerade, keep faking
Keep alive this fantasy
Or play the lead, play the lead
Role in this tragedy
So, I'm thankful for the music
Yes, I'm thankful for the music
And if music be my savoir
And if music be my savior
Let the music be my savior
Let the music be my savior
Let the music be my savior
Let the music be my savior
Let the music be my savior
Let the music be my savior
