So many people
Need to go so many miles
How do we move them
To where the answer lies?
Reach out to the ocean
Beyond the stars that shine
We've got to take one small step in time

If we are the dreamers
Then the world must be the dream
Driven to question
All the things we've never seen
We search the horizon
Looking for a sign
We've got to take one small step in time

One step beyond
All our hopes and our passion
There is the light of the universe flashin'
All that it takes is one leap of faith
One small step (one small step)
One small step in time

Deep in the darkness
(Deep in the blackness)
There's a wind that never dies
(There's a wind that never dies)
Out in the vastness
(Out in the vastness)
There's a road across the sky
(A road across the sky)
Out there is the reason
That we were meant to find
We've got to take one small step in time

We've got to take one small step in time
(One small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(One small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(One small step, one small step)

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
