Take Me There

Composed by John Pratt

When I wake up
I want to see only you
The first thing that I smell
Is the perfume that is you

So take me there
And lay me down
You'll be the air
That holds me down

Will you cover me
When the rain starts coming down
Will you always love me
Even after I'm dead and gone

So take good care
And lay me down
You'll be the air
My dust blows on

When I wake up
I want to understand it all
And all that I can see
Will be free once and for all

So take good care
When you lay me down
You'll be the air
My dust blows on

Will you cover me
When the rain starts coming down
Will you always love me
Even after I'm dead and gone

So take good care
When you lay me down
You'll be the air
My dust blows on

 

Searching For The Answer

Composed by John Pratt

We've seen it all before
Just the truth's all we really need
'Cause what's in our hearts
Won't ever change
It's like we start
Feeling again

I'm down on my knees
You see I've felt this way before
Still all I have seen
And all I have felt
Well it's not a dream I can keep to myself

So I keep searching for the answer
But the questions are all I find
So I search for a clue
That will lead to the truth
And I'll tell you what
The truth's in you
And every hope I hang on
Seems to weaken at the knees
Still there is one from the past
That I'm saving 'till last
You won't have to ask
If it's right for me

We've heard it all before
A kind word's all we really need
'Cause what's in our souls
They'll never know
How does it feel being alone?

I'm down on my knees
You see I've felt this way before
Still all I have seen
And all I have felt
Well it's not a dream I can keep to myself

So I keep searching for the answer
But the questions are all I find
So I search for a clue
That will lead to the truth
And I'll tell you what
The truth's in you
And every hope I hang on
Seems to weaken at the knees
Still there is one from the past
That I'm saving 'till last
You won't have to ask
If it's right for me

So I keep searching for the answer
But the questions are all I find
So I search for a clue
That will lead to the truth
And I'll tell you what
The truth's in you
And every hope I hang on
Seems to weaken at the knees
Still there is one from the past
That I'm saving 'till last
You won't have to ask
If it's right for me

And every road I'll follow
If you will only lead
'Cause I'm looking to you
For a new point of view
To clear my mind, help me think things through
 I'm searching for the answer
But the questions are all I find
So I search for a clue
That will lead to the truth
And I'll tell you what
The truth's in you

 

Turn The Page

Composed by John Pratt and Bob Gilles

Can't make your mind up
You don't know if it's right or wrong
It's hard to see clearly
When you nearly
Thought you said you will
 But then you say you won't
And everything is still on a page that you won't turn

Doesn't really matter
If it takes the rest of your life
And though you swallowed your anger
Somehow you can't seem to swallow your pride
Your innocence has died
And everything is on a page that you won't turn

I think it's gonna take a long time
Don't you?
Still, I know I'm going to be the one beside you
I know it hurts so bad
And every time I see you

I want to help you turn the page
 I've got to help you turn the page
Please let me help you turn the page

Anything can happen
In a moment it could all go away
So every time you look up, into the sky
Can you tell me what you see?
Are the clouds all gone or is the rain coming down on you?

'Cause I want to help you turn the page
'Cause I need to help you turn the page
'Cause I got to help you turn the page

 

Never Said Goodbye

Composed by John Pratt and John Thomas

I never gave it a thought
Not one thought at all
The lights went dim as you passed by

I couldn't rise above it
I wouldn't even call
And then you turned and walked away

  I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
 I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I tried, I tried
I never said goodbye

You didn't want to notice
But I caught your eye
Or was it just another shadow's game?

I stood there feeling foolish
With no place to hide
And then you turned and walked away
I never said goodbye

  I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
 I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I tried, I tried
I never said goodbye

You see I can't say it
No I won't say it
Please don't ask me why

You see I can't take it
No I won't fake it
I can't say goodbye

  I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
 I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I tried, I tried

I never said goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
  I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
 I never said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I tried, I tried
You Know I can't say it, no I won't say it
 
 I can't take it
No I won't fake it
Please don't ask me why

You see I can't say it
No I won't say it
I can't say

 

Naivete's Ball

Composed by John Pratt and Bob Gilles

A single tear told so much about her life
No one could hear her whispered pain or the words

"Please Stop"

Forgotten as the wheels move forward
Lost inside the never ending blur
Watch as we shuffle homeward
To the safety from it all

It's naivete's ball
Grab you children and hold them tightly
It's naivete's ball
Who will save us all

The family stood bewildered, what could they have done
The world sat and witnessed, reality had one
Forgotten as the wheels move forward
Lost inside the never ending blur
Watch as we shuffle homeward
To the safety from it all

It's naivete's ball
Grab you children and hold them tightly
It's naivete's ball
Who can save us all

It's naivete's ball
Grab the one's you love and tell them so
It's naivete's ball
Who can save us all

Her heart's like a tragedy, I know
Her life was a mystery I told you so
But I'm just a simple man and nobody wants to know

It's naivete's ball
Close your eyes, we'll make it go away
It's naivete's ball
Who can save us all

It's naivete's ball
 Hold the one's you love and tell them so
It's naivete's ball
Who can save us all

A single tear told so much about her life

 

Forgive Me

Composed by John Pratt

I know I was wrong, but I've been wrong before
I cannot deny why I am
You were the one, who showed me the way
I closed up my mind
I can't hear a word you say

How many times?
Too many words?
And nothing to say?

Forgive me

Open the door
And let it all out

Forgive me
Forgive me

I'm tracing my steps, I'm counting them all
I live them again and again
Night after night
They haunt my dreams

I said I'm sorry
But what does that mean?
The words that we both understand
Can't define what I was
Or who I am

How many times?
Too many words?
And nothing to say?

Forgive me

Open the door
Let it all out

Forgive me
Forgive me

My heads in my hands
I'm down on my knees
Mere words can't explain
How I caused so much pain

How many times?
Too many words?
And nothing to say?

Forgive me

Open the door
Let it all out

Forgive me
Forgive me

 

If What It Takes

Composed By John Pratt and Michael Alemania

There's a moment when, I close my eyes
I can feel your breath, If I try
I place my hand upon your heart
Inside your soul, are love will start

If all it takes, is all it needs
Then what I feel, is what I believe

Well if what it takes to hold your heart
Is to close your eyes and hold my hand
If we could try to make this right
And start a new tomorrow

There's a place I know
Where we can stand
And hold each other, so innocent
And no one else
Will ever find
The footsteps we left behind

"Cause all it takes, is all it needs
Then what I feel, is what I believe

Well if what it takes to hold your heart
Is to close your eyes and hold my hand
If we could try to make this right
And start a new tomorrow

Well if what it takes to hold your heart
Is to close your eyes and hold my hand
If we could try to make this right
And start a new tomorrow

Well if what it takes to hold your heart
Is to close your eyes and hold my hand
If we could try to make this right
And start a new tomorrow

 

Trust Your Feelings

Composed by John Pratt & Michael Alemania

Nothing's making sense
What do I believe?
Straddling the fence
After everything I've seen

Why oh why can't your start the healing?
It's just I've waited, waited oh so long
Why oh why can't your trust your feelings?
It's just I'm so afraid, afraid of being wrong

Taking back my life
The battle's just begun
Still I can't decide
Exactly where I'm from

Why oh why can't your start the healing?
It's just I've waited, waited oh so long
Why oh why can't your trust your feelings?
And now I'm so afraid, afraid of being wrong

When the rain start falling down
How many drops until you drown?
Looking up, mouth open wide
I'll catch those drops keep them inside
After the fire's have all gone out
How long 'till the ash stays hot?
Step out into the unknown, time to reap what I've sewn

Why oh why can't your start the healing?
It's just I've waited, waited oh so long
Why oh why can't your trust your feelings?
And now  I'm so afraid, afraid of being wrong

When the rain start falling down
How many drops until you drown?
Looking up, mouth open wide
I'll catch those drops keep them inside
After the fire's have all gone out
How long 'till the ash stays hot?
Step out into the unknown, time to reap what I've sewn

When the rain start falling down
How many drops until you drown?
Looking up, mouth open wide
I'll catch those drops keep them inside
After the fire's have all gone out
How long 'till the ash stays hot?
Step out into the unknown, time to reap what I've sewn

 Time to reap what I've sewn
Time to reap what I've sewn

 

One Silent Voice

Composed By John Pratt

One silent voice
No one has heard
Lost in the fog of my mind
The dreams push away
The clouds inside

And I know
That silence is symphony
And it plays in my mind
'Cause holding on
To dreams long gone
Time takes too much time

When the silence sets you free all the world's a symphony
One silent voice
In your soul for eternity, pounding out like tympani
One silent voice

No words to say
No sound to the ear
Captive tone in my mind

And I know
That silence is symphony
And it plays in my mind
'Cause holding on
To dreams long gone
Time takes too much time

When the silence sets you free all the world's a symphony
One silent voice
In your soul for eternity, pounding out like tympani
One silent voice

Can you hear it?
Just listen with your heart then I know you can hear it

And I know
That silence is symphony
And it plays in my mind
'Cause holding on
To dreams long gone
Time takes too much time

When the silence sets you free all the world's a symphony
One silent voice
In your soul for eternity, pounding out like tympani
One silent voice

When the silence sets you free all the world's a symphony
One silent voice
In your soul for eternity, pounding out like tympani
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?

When the silence sets you free all the world's a symphony
One silent voice
In your soul for eternity, pounding out like tympani
One silent voice

 

I Will, You Won't

Composed by John Pratt and Michael Alemania

How can we both be wrong?
When we both know we're right
How could our love be strong?
If we're alone tonight?

And tell me how we could be so right for each other?
So right, we knew it was wrong
And in the end it doesn't matter what we remember
'Cause I will, but you won't

If I had the right words to say
Would the make it into your ears?
If I had the keys in my hands
Would they unlock your fear?

And if there was a golden moment in our lives
Then what would you say it would be?
But in the end it doesn't matter what we remember
'Cause I will, and you won't

And if there was a golden moment in our lives
Then what would you say it would be?
And in the end it doesn't matter what we remember
'Cause I will, but you won't

How could we both be wrong?
When we both know we're right

 

Hold Me

Composed by John Pratt & Michael Alemania

How many times can I hold you?
I wish to God I only knew
And how many times can I kiss you?
No matter, It's all too few

So tell me when I look into your eyes
Do I see what I should see?
And every word I hear from your mouth
Will comfort me

So hold me just a little longer
"Cause I want this to last forever

How many times can I touch you?
Your face is in my hands
And how many times can I feel you?
You are the air I breathe
You are the love I feel

So tell me when I look into your eyes
Do I see what I should see?
And every where I go, I feel your heart
Beating inside of me

So hold me just a little longer
"Cause I want this to last forever

In a world without you
I'd be a lesser man
Put my arms around you
And hold you as long as I can

Baby please just hold me just a little longer
A little longer, a little longer

"Cause I want this to last forever
I need to hold you

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

 

Yin Yang

Composed By John Pratt

I won't
Get my hopes up
'Cause I don't
Let my guard down

'Cause I know it might be better
The next time
I just might tell her

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
You are the Yin and I am the Yang
You are an angel
I'm just a man

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
I'm looking for something I can't find
You are the vision
I am a blind

I can't
Take my life back
The way I
Crossed the wrong tracks

Cause I know
It might be better
The next time
I just might let her

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
You are the Yin and I am the Yang
You are an angel
I'm just a man

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
I'm looking for something I can't find
You are the vision
I am a blind

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
You are the Yin and I am the Yang
You are an angel
I'm just a man

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
I'm looking for something I can't find
You are the vision
I am a blind

'Cause I swear
To kiss and make up
'Cause I live
Not to break up

"Cause I can't
I can't remember
How to feel
And I can't tell her

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
You are the Yin and I am the Yang
You are an angel
I'm just a man

You are the right and I am the wrong
I understand that we don't belong
I'm looking for something I can't find
You are the vision
I am a blind

 

Still Here

Composed by John Pratt

Everyone's a winner
There's nothing to defend
Only hope and tragedy
Define us in the end

What's the point of guessing
Where we might end up
If it's empty or half full
At least we have our cup

All I know is
I am here
Nothing ventured
Without the fear

Everyone's a sinner
So we've all been told
There's no room for beginners
Make way for the bold

Live a life everlasting
Then make your choices now
Sit at the feast while fasting
It will add up somehow

All I know is
I'm still here
Nothing ventured
Nothing to fear

I don't know why I'm still standing
Living a lie that is far to demanding
I made choices and I'm understanding
Why I'm still here
I have nothing to gain
If I don't have fear

Now the lights are dimmer
I've reached that final page
The sun is merely a glimmer
It's time to burn the sage

Who or what I have become
Is defined by you
Writing my own epilogue
I'm not to do

Nothing ventured, without the fear
All I know is

I
was
here
