Album: Connections
Lyrics: This song speaks to the many important connections in our lives.
(Chorus:)
Connection, Connection, Connection, Connection (2x)
Ooh, Connection (2x)
(Verse 1:)
There are those whose motivation you may suspect
There are those whose way of life you may not select
And there are times when our lives will all intersect
The seas divide the land and they also connect
(Chorus)
(Verse 2:)
Some sing soft, while others like to loudly project
Some aren't sure, when they sing just what to expect
You've all your life for your song to perfect
It's harmony, when our voices connect
(Chorus)
(Bridge:)
Like the ocean and sand . . . Connect
Like the wind and the wing - Like the notes we sing
Like life connects death and birth
The roots connect the tree to the earth
Dawn and dusk connect day and night
Like a string and tail connect to a kite
Like one hand in another
Sister and brother
And each of us, can have an effect
I think we're here, just to connect
(Chorus)
(Verse 3:)
The air we breathe, and water showing signs of neglect
And out of sight, the garbage and the poisons collect
We can't just wait and leave it to the ones we elect
To do what must be done, we need to connect

Connection, Connection, Connection, Connection (2x)
Ooh, Connection (2x)
(Verse 1:)
There are those whose motivation you may suspect
There are those whose way of life you may not select
And there are times when our lives will all intersect
The seas divide the land and they also connect
(Chorus)
(Verse 2:)
Some sing soft, while others like to loudly project
Some aren't sure, when they sing just what to expect
You've all your life for your song to perfect
It's harmony, when our voices connect
(Chorus)
(Bridge:)
Like the ocean and sand . . . Connect
Like the wind and the wing - Like the notes we sing
Like life connects death and birth
The roots connect the tree to the earth
Dawn and dusk connect day and night
Like a string and tail connect to a kite
Like one hand in another
Sister and brother
And each of us, can have an effect
I think we're here, just to connect
(Chorus)
(Verse 3:)
The air we breathe, and water showing signs of neglect
And out of sight, the garbage and the poisons collect
We can't just wait and leave it to the ones we elect
