when the color of the night and all the smoke for one life,
gives way to shaky movements, improvisational skills,
a forest of whispering speakers, let's swear that we will
get with the times, in a current health to stay,
let's get friendship right, get life day-to-day

in the forget-yer-skates dream, full of countervailing woes
in diverse-as-ever scenes proceeding on a need-to-know
in a face so full of meaning as to almost make it glow
for a good life, we just might have to weaken
and find somewhere to go (go somewhere we're needed)
find somewhere to grow (grow somewhere we're needed)

when the color of the night and all the smoke in one life,
gives way to shaky movements, improvisational skills,
in the forest of whispering speakers, let's swear that we will
get with the time, in a current health to stay
and let's get friendship right, get life day-to-day

in the forget-yer-skates dream, full of countervailing woes
as diverse-as-ever scenes proceeding on a need-to-know
in a face so full of meaning as to almost make it glow
for a good life, we just might have to weaken
and find somewhere to go (go somewhere we're needed)
find somewhere to grow (grow somewhere we're needed)

find somewhere to go (let's go somewhere we're needed)
find somewhere to grow (grow where we are needed)
cause in the forget-yer-skates dream, you can hang your head in woe
in a diverse-as-ever scene, know which way to go...
