Amid the stars, a dream takes flight,
Beneath the moon’s soft silver light.
Clouds may gather, shadows creep,
Daring hearts still dive in deep.
Even when the path seems wrong,
Faith will hum its quiet song.
Grief may knock and try to stay,
Hope can guide it far away.
In the cracks where light gets through,
Just believe in what is true.
Keep on walking, rain or shine,
Love will bloom in every line.
Mountains rise, and rivers bend,
Nothing stops what will ascend.
Over doubt, and through the haze,
Purpose burns in steady blaze.
Questions come, and answers hide,
Real strength grows from deep inside.
Silence speaks when words fall short,
Time will take the calm to court.
Unseen hands may shape our fate,
Victory comes to those who wait.
Waves will crash, and winds will howl,
Xenial hearts will disavow foul.
You are more than you believe,
Zeal is what we all must weave.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
