I think Ryan pieced these lyrics together from newspaper headlines while sitting in an airport. That's why they don't make any sense. ... Or do they?
lyrics
Jubilee
It’s been a dry, mild winter
And there’s good things up ahead
You owe it to yourself to dream a dream along the way
Well it’s time for innovation
Time to let that freedom ring
Get a better life to live: Jubilee
Look beyond your shackled past
Make a habit to succeed
There’s no such thing as failure here
Small steps are everything
Use the moment! Change the course
Think profit and reward
Every person rush to Jubilee
It’s been a dry, mild winter
And there’s good things up ahead
You owe it to yourself to dream a dream along the way
Well it’s time for innovation
Time to let that freedom ring
Get a better life to live: Jubilee
Well the crisis will continue, lord
Don’t hide amid the news!
A massive wave of suffering
Approaches from the storm
Hoist your sail high to the wind
Grab all that you can carry
Raise your anchor, aim for Jubilee
It’s been a dry, mild winter
And there’s good things up ahead
You owe it to yourself to dream a dream along the way
Well it’s time for innovation
Time to let that freedom ring
Get a better life to live: Jubilee
Hoist your sail high to the wind
Grab all that you can carry
Raise your anchor
Aim for Jubilee
Climb the ladder of your neighbor’s
Wreckage in the night
Don’t think about the flailing hands
Don’t think about the fight
It’s been a dry, mild winter
And there’s good things up ahead
You owe it to yourself to dream a dream along the way
Well it’s time for innovation
Time to let that freedom ring
Get a better life to live: Jubilee
It’s been a dry, mild winter
And there’s good things up ahead
You owe it to yourself to dream a dream along the way
Well it’s time for innovation
Time to let that freedom ring
Get a better life to live: Jubilee
Get a better life to live: Jubillee
