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
14
From your friends, from ya-
15
Run for your life
16
For your friends, for ya-
17
America, merica, meri-
18
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-
19
The prairie, the frontier
20
The perfect farm, it's from here
21
The fortress, the faker, the cornerstone, the baker
22
The dancer, the fisher, audition and the disher
23
The boxer, the fetcher
24
The chewing gum, dreamcatcher
25
I count the days the Great Frontier
26
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
27
I stand and strain to make ends meet
28
Five Spirits on the Grand Marquee
29
And when I, and when I call
30
The patient, the patient fall
31
The Spirit, the Carpenter
32
Invites us to be with her
33
There was a man at the wall
34
He was grateful for us all
35
I saw the wise woman sing
36
She wasn't asking anything
37
She wasn't asking anything
38
How she made the nations sing!
39
What have we become America?
40
Soldiers on the Great Frontier!
41
Run from yourself!
42
From your friends, from ya-
43
Run for your life!
44
For your friends, for ya-
45
America, merica, meri-
46
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-
47
The mattress, the floozies
48
The actress at the movies
49
The lantern, the lotion
50
The wind that wakes the ocean
51
The Standard Edition
52
The architect's rendition
53
The fashion, the fevers
54
The house we got at Sears
55
Oh, Great Fire of Great Disaster
56
Oh, Great Heaven, oh, Great Master
57
Oh, Great Goat, the curse you gave us
58
Oh, Great Ghost, protect and save us
59
Oh, Great River, green with envy
60
Oh, Jane Addams, spirit send thee
61
Oh, Great Trumpet and the singers
62
Oh, Great Goodman, King of Swingers
63
Oh, Great Bears and Bulls, Joe Jackson
64
Oh, Great Illinois
65
Given what you lost, are you better off?
66
Given what you had, has it made you mad?
67
Celebrate the few, celebrate the new
68
It can only start with you
