Basic elemental instinct to survive    Stirs the higher passions    Thrill to be alive       Alternating currents in a tidewater surge    Rational resistance to an unwise urge    (anything can happen)       From the point of conception    To the moment of Truth    At the point of surrender    To the burden of proof       From the point of ignition    To the final drive    The point of the journey is not to arrive    (anything can happen)       Basic temperamental filters on our eyes    Alter our perceptions    Lenses polarize       Alternating currents force a show of hands    Rational responses force a change of plans    (anything can happen)       From a point on the compass    To magnetic north    The point of the needle moving back and forth       From the point of entry --    Until the candle is burned    The point of departure is not to return    (anything can happen)       I set the wheels in motion    turn up all the machines    activate the programs    and run behind the scene       I set the clouds in motion    turn up light and sound    activate the window    and watch the world go 'round --    (anything can happen)
