Wondering 03:56
Wondering, I'm wondering, why love made a fool of me. Crying, I'm crying, over a love, a love that's dying. The sunrise ain't gonna find me, cause I'm hiding in my bed. I'm not getting up I'm doing nothing today. When the night time tries to find me it'll see I've fallen apart. I'm sweeping up the pieces of my broken heart. Wonderting, just wondering why. Why love made a fool of me.

Just the way it oughta be. You and me sittin here drinkin our tea. Night sky's aglow and gospels on the radio. Oh amazing ohamazing grace. How sweet the sound. Just the way it oughta be. (verse 2) Just the way it oughta be. I can hear the rain hittin the trees. It don't cost nothing, love, it flows from up above. Oh I once was blind, but now I see. It's just the way it oughta be. It's just the way it oughta be.

Ol' Man 03:38
Can't stop dreaming or it will bring you down. Can't meet the right folks in your one horse town. Can't write a song that make people want to dance. It's your small town. You can't change that. Can't stop thinking about your past. You've got regrets honey, well we all have that. You want to get out but need permission and a map. What do your children think of that? Ol' man what happened to your plans? Ol' man I don't understand. Ol' man what are your fears? You should be outta here. You were the music man. Did you complicate things? Did it all come crumbling down? There's an art to that old stonewall. You New Englanders build 'em all. Or did you talk about love and did your words go? round and round and round and round and round and round and round? Ol' man what happened to your plans? Ol' man I don't understand. Ol' man, what are your fears? You should be outta here. You were the music man.

Superman 04:00
Oh for crying out loud. We're in trouble again. Misery we don't need your company. No, no, no, no, no. When terror struck, deep in our hearts, it robbed us of all our traditions. Left us with some crazy fear and lots of questions of why. Then you look around and you see there are no heroes, who will save the world? Superman, Superman where are you? We've been calling out your name. Superman, Superman, where are you? We'd like for you to come and save the day. If those who had, had a little less. Would those with less get a little more? That seems the questions that leads us into every God damn war. Then you look around and you see there are no heroes, who will save the world? Superman, Superman, where are you? We've been calling out your name. Superman, superman, where are you? We'd like for you to come and save the day.
