V1
If you’re ever passing by
A fountain, throw a dime
It may help you down the line
If you pass a fountain, throw a dime
V2
If you pass a lemonade stand on your path
For 25 cents, buy a glass
It may bring you good luck at last
If you pass a lemonade stand but a glass
Chorus:
Oh no one’s ever gonna set you free
You gotta learn to be
You’ve gotta learn to be
Oh nothing in this world is free
But some things still come cheap
Some things still come cheap
V3
If there’s a juke box in the room
Pay a dollar
Play a tune
It will heal you
And others too
If there’s a juke box
Play a tune
Bridge:
And If you’ve got a favorite song, put it on on repeat
Shout and sing along, wake 'em up across the street
Buy a round for some one and have another one on me:
It's the closest I might to a philosophy
V4
Go swimming when you’re at the beach
Or wade in to your ankles at least
And let the water lap at your feet
Skip a stone
Be at peace
When the moon's out, blow a kiss
When a star's out, make a wish
Light a candle for someone you miss
Watch the fire in silence
When there’s an echo shout “hello”
Wave at people when you’re above and their below
And Always carry some extra cash
For lemonade stands and things like that

I’m watching the sunset
Get caught in the trees:
Lost, wandering down my street
I’m filling a page up
With my best friends names
I wanna know what I owe so I can repay...
The beers and favors
Years and years later
I grab my calculator
But it don’t add up
So I put pen to paper
But there’s always a remainder
You’re all just life savers
Till we settle up,
IOU
I’m watching the sunrise:
Other side of the street
And it’s finally dawned on me
It’s Like I’ve been using my left hand
to write my name
It feels wrong and it never looks the same
…and years later
(Years and years later)
All the fear and anger
Just don’t add up
So I put pen to paper
Toss my calculator
Use the hand I favor
And I tear up
my IOUs

V1
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
I can’t remember what life was like before
Oh I have been renewed
I have been renewed
I have been renewed
Now that I have you
V2
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
Nothing matters the same way anymore
Oh I have been confused
If I’m telling the truth
But now that I have you
I am renewed
Bridge
They’re pouring holy water over my precious daughter
I’m thinking “oh God - what do I have to offer?
Am I enough for her?
Am I enough for her?”
V3
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
Im a father like my father before
Im walking in his shoes
And I’m sure he’ll be amused
Cuz Now that I have you
I’ll know what he went through
V4
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
I couldn’t be prouder, I couldn’t be more unsure
Of what I’m supposed to do
Just between me and you
But I have been renewed
Now that I’ve met you
V5
Darling daughter
Since we brought you home
Me and your mother just can’t leave you alone
We’re so in love with you
Our lives have been renewed
To give our lives to you is the least that we can do
Chorus
They’re pouring Holy water
Holding my precious daughter
I don’t need God, I got her
Oh God I got her
Thank God I got her
V6
Darling daughter
I really could have sworn
On the Bible
That this Baptism was yours
Who knew I’d be renewed
By someone so darn cute
Oh and I’m so happy I’m your daddy too

V1
Moonlight silvering my lawn
Backyard singing songs
I know
It’s alright
Moonlight singing through the glass
Visiting at last
I know
It’s alright
Chorus
Moonlight I’m so glad you’ve come
Remember all the things we’ve done
Remember all the songs we’ve sung
When I was forever young
V2
Moonlight visit this old man
As often as you can
And stay
All night
Moonlight moonlight
You’re so fair
I can’t help but stare
At you all night
Chorus
Moonlight we had so much fun
Running hiding from the sun
Back when I was 21
When I was forever young
I’m not sure what I have become
I’m not sure what I was running from
Back when I was 21
when I was forever young
