LYRICS
Some Marry Young
Make Up Your Mind
Round and tall, slight and small,
No coat made to fit them all.
Choices free, trying to see
Just whose student will I be?
​
Ch-
Some look for fortune, follow the sun,
To see what they can find.
Never come home near their own kind
To talk over what they’ve done,
And some marry young.
​
I live my days in different ways,
Learn my trade until it pays,
Sing the keys that work for me.
Now whose teacher will I be?
​
Ch-
Some look for wisdom, follow the sun, etc.
Some look for love, follow the sun, etc.

So Good (To Have You Back)
Make Up Your Mind
A different kind of talking, different things to say,
Takes me from the normal run of things I do.
Just now I don’t have to carry on in any way,
Only need to have some time to look at you.
No, don’t change position, stay right where you are.
The light is fine, I’ve no meetings to attend.
​
Ch-
It’s so good to have you back again.
It’s so good to have you back again.
​
Since we started walking, telling night from day,
Taking all the bumps that come with learning to,
Someone there to catch you, pull you from the waves,
Except for the times they maybe missed the cue.
Good of you to listen, now you’ve come so far,
And we’ve only started growing, that will never end.
​
Ch-
It’s so good, etc
It’s so good to see you again
II:It’s so good to have you back again.:II

Tell The World
Make Up Your Mind
You’ve found the secret, been told new law,
You’re like a clear well, full with what you saw,
So rich with changes, waves overflow,
And everyone needs to know.
​
Ch-
How you gonna tell the world?
Who you gonna tell it to?
Who you gonna tell it to?
​
Even the children need to leave the past.
This isn’t a shadow of spells being cast.
It’s more like the morning, when the river glows,
And the wind starts to blow.
​
Ch-
How you gonna tell the world? etc.

(Born Under A) Good Sky
Make Up Your Mind
You sure keep trying, to face what comes,
It still doesn’t end-
Too proud to cry, too open hearted to pretend
Troubles arriving come all at once
And wait everywhere.
Holds your head down just keeping what’s in your care
​
Ch-
But you were born under a good sky.
I can see it in your eyes.
Born under a good sky.
​
I can see you driving, open window
Hair blowing wild,
Sitting back, singing your song,
Clear joy, full grown child.
​
Ch-
Yeah, you were born under a good sky,
And you’re the reason why.
Born under a good sky.
​
Born under a good sky,
I can see it in your eyes,
Born under a good sky,
And you’re the reason why.
Born under a good sky,
Find your wings and fly.
Born under a good sky.
Born under a good sky.
​
Born under a good sky. etc.
Born under a good sky, etc.

Dream That Lasts Forever
Make Up Your Mind
I sometimes do what I can’t stand
When I mean to be kind.
Say things fill my mouth with sand,
And echoes fill my mind.
It’s hard to sleep and worse to rise
’Til the music mercy finds
Carries peace on ancient winds.
​
Ch-
It gives me a feeling that won’t go away,
Living a dream that lasts forever.
Older than sunlight, and new with each day,
Holding the seasons together.
​
There’s a mean streak oceans wide,
And here’s where it runs through.
Some people take a smirking pride
In the strange, small way they grew.
But love, like heaven near good hearts
Is more than all they do,
And that’s what always brings me to you.
​
Ch-
It gives me a feeling..etc,
Living a dream that lasts forever.
