"Recruit, when I give the word! I want you to exit my building to the left, and hit the deck running! I want you to fall in on those yellow footprints, with your body at the position of attention! No lally-gagging around my area! Head and eyes straight forward! You understand me!!"

"Yes, Daddy."

"I didn't hear you!!"

"Yes, Daddy."

The Truth - Everything Under The Sun
by EXTREME

Part 1 - Rise 'n Shine

Dawn wakes the silence, of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid, from a song sung in my eye
Night rests in peace, as the sun mourns the sky
Dawn's accounted for sheep, over a horizon's I

RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING'S UNDER THE SUN

And when you see, a south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know, a hot day, will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You analyze, the earth and the sky
I ask you why, you can't analyze the signs, of the present time

I had a dream, not unlike the one from old
Of a man king, whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand, where the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands, 'til water runs dry the well

DREAM, DANIEL, DREAM
FOR WHAT'S YET TO COME
SEE, DANIEL, SEE
FOR EVERYTHING'S UNDER THE SUN

And in the West, a cloud appears
Foreshadows of a coming shower near, Oh, so near
(Hypocrites)
You analyze, the earth and the sky
I ask you why, you can't analyze the signs, of the present time

Vanity,
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity,
Yes, all's futility

For one that dies, another's born
Where laughter's heard, comforters mourn
There's a time for everything

A song for love, even abhor
An olive branch, or a winter's war
There's a time for everything under the sun
HEY........., UNDER THE SUN

RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING'S UNDER THE SUN

(Rise...A new Day is coming.
Well, there's a time for everything under the sun
you know, a time for everything under the sun
Because a new day is going to begun.)

Part 2 - Am I Ever Going To Change

I'm tired of being me, and I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day, down on my knees I will pray,
for a change in any way
But as the day goes by, I live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
IF I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG, THAT GOES ON FOREVER

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG, THAT GOES ON FOREVER
(AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE)
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
IF I THINK I'M RIGHT, I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT, THAT"S GONE ON TOO LONG

Please tell me if it's true, am I too old to start anew,
'Cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again, when I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try, Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG, THAT GOES ON FOREVER
(AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE)
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
IF I THINK I'M RIGHT, I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT, THAT"S GONE ON TOO LONG

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG, THAT GOES ON FOREVER
(AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE)
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
IF I THINK I'M RIGHT, I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT, THAT"S GONE ON TOO LONG
(AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE)
TAKE IT DAY BY DAY
MY WILL IS WEAK AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG
THIS PEACE I SEEK. 'TIL THY KINGDOM COMES

Part 3 - Who Cares?

Tell me, Jesus, are you angry?
One more sheep has, just gone astray
A hardening of hearts, turning to stone
Wandering off, so far from home
So many children, losing time
Walk in darkness, looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbow, future looks bright
Slowly we're losing, Sight of the light

(WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?
(WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?
(WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?
(TELL ME, WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?

WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)
WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)
WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)
TELL ME, WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)

All alone, out in the cold
Can't look back, am I growing old
I chose a path, is this my fate
Am I finding out, the truth too late

(WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?
(WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?
(WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?
(TELL ME, WHO CARES?) WHO CARES?

WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)
WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)
WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)
TELL ME, WHO CARES? (WHO CARES?)

Here I am, a naked man
Nothing to hide, with empty hands
Remember me, well I am the one
Who lost his way, your Prodigal Son

YEAH!!!!
CAN ANYBODY, ANYBODY (WHO CARES?)
ANYBODY AT ALL (WHO CARES?)
ANYBODY AT ALL (WHO CARES?)

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER
SAME OLD SONG, GOES ON FOREVER
(TELL ME, WHO CARES?)

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
(RISE, RISE 'N SHINE)
[WHO CARES?]

I JUST TAKE DAY BY DAY

(A NEW DAY IS COMING)
MY WILL IS WEAK, MY FLESH TOO STRONG
(YES IT IS!)
THIS PEACE I SEEK, 'TIL THY KINGDOM COMES
[TELL ME, WHO CARES?]
