Pay The Dividend



Make it to the Starting Line. Let the race begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Silver Moon. Let the hunt begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Costume Ball. Let the dance begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Holy Land. Let the trail begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Mardi Gras. Let the mirth begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Higher Self. Let the quest begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Music Hall. Let the song begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
Make it to the Other Side. Let the bliss begin.
Things earned in practice pay the dividend.
