Lyrics
Blind to greater perception.
The kind it seems that only I can see.
Your mind needs to grow and learn and breathe.
You'll find the world is waiting at your feet.
Same old stare, and the same old hair,
never has gotten you anywhere.
Hear the sounds of the extraordinary!
Free your thought from mediocrity.
Decree yourself an originality.
Same old ways in the same old phase,
never has gotten you any praise.
Hear the sounds of the extraordinary!

The kind I know that you can see.
Your mind can grow and learn and breath.
You'll find the world is waiting at your feet.
Same sung poorly is the same old story,
never has gotten you any glory.
Hear the sounds of the extraordinary!
