[Intro]
Questions remain…
Answers emerge…
Look again…
(Start at “begin”)
[Refrain]
That’s reality?
(Exactly)
Hard as it is to believe
(Difficult to conceive)
Exactly
(Reality)
[Verse 1]
One small clue becomes a sign
Patterns form through space and time
Pieces gather, side by side
Showing what they cannot hide
Nature speaks without a word
Through the things we’ve seen and heard
Physics writes the score each day
Whether we agree or stray
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch it grow
(Watch it change)
Watch the pieces
(Rearrange)
[Chorus]
Exactly
(Reality)
Truth unfolds
(Rapidly)
Cause and consequence
(Move as one)
Long before
(The race is run)
That’s reality?
(Exactly)
[Refrain]
That’s reality?
(Exactly)
Hard as it is to believe
(Difficult to conceive)
Exactly
(Reality)
[Verse 2]
Heat moves through the sea and sky
Clouds drift slowly passing by
Hidden links begin to show
Far beyond what eyes can know
Signals travel, paths combine
Crossing oceans over time
Small beginnings leave their mark
Lighting up the growing spark
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a look
(Beyond the view)
See the story
(Coming through)
[Bridge]
Reality asks no permission
It follows its own condition
The laws of nature keep their pace
Across each moment, time, and place
Listen close
(Read the signs)
See the patterns
(Between the lines)
[Breakdown]
Belief…
doesn’t alter…
the laws of physics.
Understanding…
… brings relief.
[Final Chorus]
That’s reality?
(Exactly)
Hard as it is to believe
(Difficult to conceive)
Exactly
(Reality)
Choose with care
(Shape tomorrow)
Hope can rise
(Beyond the sorrow)
Exactly
(Reality)
[Refrain]
That’s reality?
(Exactly)
Hard as it is to believe
(Difficult to conceive)
Exactly
(Reality)
[Outro]
Reality…
Keeps
[Intro]
A difference…
A detail…
A decimal…
Can change what you mean…
(To obscene)
[Refrain]
That’s the point
(Exactly)
Not zero point 1
(Not zero point 2, too)
Obviously
(Not zero point 3)
Zero
(Exactly)
…now you know
(That’s the point)
[Verse 1]
Small numbers can seem so small
Barely noticed, barely tall
But the scale can shift the view
When the numbers multiply through
[Pre-Chorus]
Point by point
(Line by line)
Truth appears
(Over time)
[Chorus]
That’s the point
(Exactly)
Precision matters
(Actually)
Not a guess
(Not a game)
Numbers tell us
(What became)
[Refrain]
That’s the point
(Exactly)
Not zero point 1
(Not zero point 2, too)
Obviously
(Not zero point 3)
Zero
(Exactly)
…now you know
(That’s the point)
That’s the point
(Exactly)
[Verse 2]
A small degree, a small delay
Can shift the outcome of the day
Systems move and patterns bend
Following where the numbers send
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the change
(See the trend)
Follow where
(The numbers bend)
[Bridge]
Not opinion
(Not belief)
A measured signal
(Brings relief)
Look closer
(Find the clue)
The point itself
(Points to truth)
[Breakdown]
The point…
isn’t the decimal.
The point…
is what the decimal reveals.
[Final Chorus]
That’s the point
(Exactly)
Not zero point 1
(Not zero point 2, too)
Obviously
(Not zero point 3)
Zero
(Exactly)
[Refrain]
That’s the point
(Exactly)
Not zero point 1
(Not zero point 2, too)
Obviously
(Not zero point 3)
Zero
(Exactly)
…now you know
(That’s the point)
…now you know
(That’s the point)
[Outro]
That’s the point
(Exactly)
Not zero point 1
(Not zero point 2, too)
Obviously
(Not zero point 3)
Zero
(Exactly)
…now you know
(That’s the point)
Exactly.
[Intro]
Sing the song:
the answer…
has been there…
(all along.)
Sing along!
[Refrain]
You answered
(Your own question)
Measured
(Optimism)
…friendly suggestion.
[Verse 1]
Looking high and looking low
Searching where the answers go
Turning pages, asking why
Watching signals passing by
Then a moment, clear and bright
Brings the picture into sight
What seemed distant, hard to find
Was already on your mind
[Chorus]
You answered
(Your own question)
Finding truth
(Through reflection)
Not by guessing
(Not by chance)
But by giving
(The facts a glance)
Measured
(Optimism)
Growing from
(Realism)
[Verse 2]
Questions open, questions lead
Toward the answers that we need
Evidence begins to speak
Strong enough for all to seek
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep asking
(Keep learning)
Keep listening
(Keep turning)
[Bridge]
Hope is strongest
(When it’s real)
Built on what
(We can reveal)
Face the future
(Eyes open wide)
With understanding
(As your guide)
[Breakdown]
The best questions…
don’t end conversations.
They begin…
better better observations.
[Final Chorus]
You answered
(Your own question)
Measured
(Optimism)
…friendly suggestion.
[Refrain]
You answered
(Your own question)
Measured
(Optimism)
…friendly suggestion.
You answered…
The next question.
[Outro]
Keep asking…
Keep listening…
Keep learning…
…and keep answering.
[Intro]
Step outside…
The clock keeps ticking…
Physics…
…is driving our ride.
[Refrain]
Showdown
At high noon
(It’ll end this debate)
No slowdown
Coming soon
(That’s a minute late)
[Verse 1]
The evidence is plain to all
Right there written on the wall
Heat keeps building, oceans rise
No disguise before our eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Tick… tock…
(The clock goes on)
Day by day…
(Until it’s gone)
[Chorus]
High noon
(The shadows fall)
Time arrives
(For one and all)
No retreat
(No delay)
Tomorrow forms
(From today)
Showdown
At high noon
(It’ll end this debate)
[Verse 2]
The numbers in the atmosphere
Recording changes crystal clear
Questions matter, facts do too
Reality comes shining through
[Pre-Chorus]
One more year
(Moves the line)
One more choice
(Changes time)
[Bridge]
No revolvers
(No disguise)
Only data
(Before our eyes)
No opponents
(To defeat)
Only futures
(We may meet)
[Breakdown]
… when delay…
costs more…
than action…
(That’s not a solution!)
[Final Chorus]
Showdown
At high noon
(It’ll end this debate)
No slowdown
Coming soon
(That’s a minute late)
High noon
(The choice is clear)
The time…
Is already…
Here.
[Outro]
The sun is high…
The choice remains…
High noon…
(Coming to your town… soon.)
[Intro]
Monday…
Earn it.
Saturday…
Spend it.
Repeat.
Don’t forget…
(With no regret)
[Refrain]
Workin’ all day like a dog
(Problem of production)
Weekends… I’m a warthog
…again…
(Problem of consumption)
[Verse 1]
Punch the clock from nine to five
Trying just to stay alive
Build another, make another
Buy another for your brother
Fill the cart and fill the shed
Need a bigger house instead
Out with old and in with new
Before the old is hardly through
[Pre-Chorus]
Buy it now
(Buy some more)
Another box
(At the door)
[Chorus]
Work all week
(Spend all day)
Running hard
(The modern way)
Making stuff
(Shipping fast)
Buying things
(That rarely last)
Workin’ all day like a dog
(Problem of production)
Weekends… I’m a warthog
…again…
(Problem of consumption)
[Verse 2]
Forests fall for one more chair
Plastic floating everywhere
Energy behind the scene
Keeps the shelves forever green
More extraction, more demand
More pressure placed upon the land
The cycle spins without a pause
Driven by its own applause
[Pre-Chorus]
Need or want?
(Hard to tell)
Consumption addiction
(Casts its spell)
[Bridge]
Less can still
(Mean enough)
Living well
(Without more stuff)
[Breakdown]
Production…
meets consumption.
Supply…
meets demand.
(Man’s damned demand)
[Final Chorus]
Workin’ all day like a dog
(Problem of production)
Weekends… I’m a warthog
…again…
(Problem of consumption)
[Refrain]
Workin’ all day like a dog
(Problem of production)
Weekends… I’m a warthog
…again…
(Problem of consumption)
[Outro]
Work all week…
Live with purpose…
Not just…
For the purchase.
[Intro]
A question…
A hypothesis…
A measurement…
Let’s see what the evidence says.
(Experiment… underway)
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Refrain]
Really?
(Based on evidence)
Reality
(With full confidence)
[Verse 1]
Start with what the data shows
Not the story someone chose
Measure twice before you speak
Truth is stronger when you seek
Charts and numbers, year by year
Making patterns crystal clear
Test the claim against the light
See if it survives the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Ask again
(Then compare)
Follow facts
(Anywhere)
[Chorus]
Based on evidence
(Not assumption)
Based on observation
(Not consumption)
Question first
(Then explore)
Learn a little
(Then learn more)
Really?
(Based on evidence)
(Experiment… underway)
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Refrain]
Really?
(Based on evidence)
Reality
(With full confidence)
[Verse 2]
Ideas grow when tested well
Failure has a tale to tell
Confidence can rise with proof
Built beneath a stronger roof
(Experiment… underway)
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Refrain]
Really?
(Based on evidence)
Reality
(With full confidence)
[Bridge]
What best explains reality
(Look. See.)
[Breakdown]
Opinion…
starts…
the conversation.
Evidence…
moves it…
past self-motivation.
[Final Chorus]
Really?
(Based on evidence)
Reality
(With full confidence)
Measure carefully
(Test again)
Follow where
(The facts have been)
Really?
(Based on evidence)
Reality…
With earned confidence.
[Outro]
Ask…
Observe…
Measure…
Understand.
(Before you demand demand)
