1
I count the days the great frontier
2
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
3
I stand in awe of gratefulness
4
I can and call forgetfulness
5
And when I, and when I call
6
The patient, the patient fall
7
The spirit, the carpenter
8
Invites us to be with her
9
What have we become America?
10
Soldiers on the great frontier
11
Carpenter and soldier, one on one
12
It's the battle, volunteer
13
Run from yourself, from your friends, from ya
14
Run for your life, for your friends, for ya
15
America, merica, meri
16
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi
17
I count the days the great frontier
18
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
19
I stand and strain to make ends meet
20
Five spirits on the Grand Marquee
21
And when I, and when I call
22
The patient, the patient fall
23
The spirit, the carpenter
24
Invites us to be with her
25
There was a man at the wall
26
He was grateful for us all
27
I saw the wise woman sing
28
She wasn't asking anything
29
She wasn't asking anything
30
How she made the nations sing
31
What have we become America?
32
Soldiers on the great frontier
33
Run from yourself, from your friends, from ya
34
Run for your life, for your friends, for ya
35
America, merica, meri
36
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi
37
Oh great fire of great disaster
38
Oh great Heaven, oh great master
39
Oh great goat, the curse you gave us
40
Oh great ghost, protect and save us
41
Oh great river, green with envy
42
Oh Jane Adams, spirit send thee
43
Oh great trumpet and the singers
44
(Given what you lost are you better off?)
45
Oh great good man, King of Swingers
46
(Given what you had, has it made you mad?)
47
Oh great bears and bulls, Joe Jackson
48
(Celebrate the few, celebrate the new)
49
Oh great Illinois
50
(It can only start with you)
