"Work Smart" - Length 3:00 two b-sections

Today I lengthened the song "Work Smart" from the 2:00 to 3:00 by looping near the end back to the b-section.  It sounds good musically but I can not decide if that b-section wants to stay instrumental or add words.   Is there a hidden melody that hasn't yet been developed?

A new guitar solo came out that should stay in.  The guitar keeps flip flopping from a reggae guitar to a march.  Reggae/March.  Also during this session I erased the 'flute and horn melody' lines after they repeated twice.  This way it can change back to the vocal/ or a new melody, within the same 'rhythm track' without getting too repetitious.

Lastly there were two chord changes that happen right before the b-section (C# and F#) then goes into the "Bbm" b-section.  They kind of sound strange but they give a hint something else is coming up.
The chords follow the "circle of fifths" and as they do, the song must be going out of key or something.

Note from Eric Abrahamson:
Very common in Classical music not to change key but use a "sharp", "flat", "natural" the note in order to write out what the composer wants it to sound like.
