Look At Me Now
(jack hues)
Its hard to recall how we were at school
Our ambitions and conditions
And our hopes for the future
The teachers we had, our mums and our dads
Their decisions and revisions
And their hopes for the future
Chorus:
But look at me now
I cannot count the cost
Of all the friends I lost
And though my heart did break
Look at me now
Im on the candle flame
I have a different name
I have your hand to take
But look at me now - and here I am
I used to believe in an idea received
With concision, but derision
Was my natural reaction
You cannot pretend that its all gonna end
In a second to be reckoned
Like a soldier in action
Repeat chorus
Wont you look at me now

Life Gets Away
Were tied to our memories
They wont let us stray
Were not gonna lose ones
We made yesterday
We look to our future
And we make all our plans
As if we control what is out of our hands
(chorus)
The world keeps on turning
Im learning to see
Right where I am is where I have to be
You cant count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all
We start getting older
The moment we live
Look over your shoulder
Theres hindsight to give
Come good days and bad days
The suns gonna rise
So why look beyond whats in front of your eyes
Repeat chorus
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all

Talk It Out
(jack hues / nick feldman)
These days our problems seem to come in waves
Sometimes its hard to count them all
Youre reading all alone when suddenly
You feel yourself about to fall
Chorus:
If you need someone to talk it out
Then talk it out with me
If you need someone to talk it out
Then Im the one you need
Your fear of past mistakes intensifies
Your fear of everything thats new
You need a friend around to sympathise
Someone to help you with the view
Repeat chorus
If you need someone to talk it out
To talk of what you see
If you need someone to talk it out
Then Im the one you need
Repeat chorus
Talk it out
Talk it out oh oh
Im the one you need

Man On A Mission
I can walk all alone through a river of fire
Cause my heart is true
Put my soul on the line
That's what I'd do, that's what I'd do
There's a power in passion
That I can't control
It's a natural reaction
I can't let it go
(Chorus)
I'm a man on a mission to love you
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm a man on a mission
I can't stop tryin' now
I'm gonna make you mine
Where angels fear to fly
That's where I go with my foolish pride
I got too close to the sun
I was the one looking for you
I feel the power in passion
When it's takin' control
It's a natural reaction
And I can't let it go
Repeat Chorus
Can't you see what you mean to me?
How much I need you
You know we owe each other honesty
So tell me what can I do
To get to you

Lonely Heart
Heartbeat pounding so hard it keeps
Me wide awake at night
I wait alone in the dark for you to make the moment right
If I could only show you all that might be lost
Then you would never wonder what the secret was
And this is what id
Tell you
The lonely heart you see tonight
Will not give up without a fight
And Im never gonna let
It fade away
Oh, you can look in my eyes and see
That youre the only one
I would break down and cry if you became the lonely one
Id rather play the
Fool and try and hold a star
Than never know if you were going to break my heart
And I can see it shining

No matter what I say to make you
Understand
Its all up to you to
Take the future in your hands
So please dont keep me

All day with every familiar face oh

Entranced we travelled the two of us oh

And I know whatever the future brings
Wherever the pointer swings
There will always be true love

Reaction To Action

Alright
Its hard getting through to me
Im truly elusive
I got my own point of view
I am the one of a kind
And I tell you lil girl
Im fascinated by you
Theres something about you
That makes all the difference
Like the night is to day
Well I can get along without you
But I know that within you
Youve got what Im missing
And Ill find a way
To get reaction to action
Hey, say the word that would thrill me
Yeah, I need reaction to action
Just one look that would kill me
You got a way of drawing attention to you
You know you stand out in a crowd
But the way that you play
With any mans affections
Should never be allowed
See I consider myself
The one who will show you
Id go as far as to say
Girl, I aint leaving here without you
But you better understand
Theres only one rule in this game were gonna play
And thats reaction to action
Maybe like a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
One look that would kill me
Give me reaction to action
Its getting late Id better make a definite move
Reaction to action
And after that baby, its up to you
I need reaction to action
Just a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
You know what Im talking about
Give me some reaction to action
You got a look, you got a way thatll kill me

In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze

And pull her close and there there there
Take your baby by the ears

And in her eyes two sapphires blue

Off to college
Yes you ran away
Straight from high school

Clean Break
I think you need some assistance
To keep yourself at a distance
Its harder when shes beautiful
Its easy when shes waking next to you
If youre gonna make a break, make a clean break
If youre gonna make a break, break clean
If youre gonna make a break, make a clean break
If youre gonna make a break, make a clean break
I can see the tables turning
Homefires lit, your house is burning
Its harder in the evening but
Its easy in the early afternoon
(repeat chorus)
Sure there is an easy out by staying in
For one more session
You justify it all by seeing her in moderation
No opportunity for her to start a new relation
You help yourself because youre sensing
Obligation
I think its great the way you handle
Both ends of a burning candle
Its harder when shes easy but its easy
When shes just as hard on you

Skin Deep
[verse 1]
Sometimes I feel lost
In a sea of insecurity
That rages inside of me
So terribly caught
And the waves of self-rejection
Make me question my ability
(pre-chorus)
But there's a fire that always burns
And there's a voice inside
And all it wants is tobe heard
[chorus]
'Cause beyond skin deep
There's so much more to see
My hopes, my dreams designed with destiny
I was fashioned with passion
A burning desire to know the One who made me more
He made me more than skin deep
'Cause I am more, I am more than skin deep
So much more
[verse 2]
It's so hard to change
When we are captive to ourselves
Always thirsty for something else
But free or enslaved
We are sons, we are daughters
Called out by the Father's name
(pre-chorus)
So take the fire and let it burn
Unleash the voice inside
'Cause everyone needs to be heard
[chorus]
Beyond skin deep
There's so much more to see
Our hopes, our dreams designed with destiny
We were fashioned with passion
A burning desire to know the One who made us more
He made us more than skin deep
'Cause we are more, we are more than skin deep
So much more
[bridge]
We are more than the future
We are more than the past
We were made to bring glory
Given souls that will last
We are more than our bodies
We are more than the grave
We were brought by His blood
And from ourselves we've been saved
[chorus]
Beyond skin deep
There's so much more to see
Our hopes, our dreams designed with destiny
We were fashioned with passion
A burning desire to know the One who made us more
He made us more than skin deep
'Cause we are more, we are more than skin deep
So much more
We are more than the future
We are more than the past
We were made to bring glory
Given souls that will last

Features of the Future
I'm closer to the future
Than I was yesterday.
The highway of the future
Is in each break of day.
I frame my future
By the decisions I make.
I encounter the future
If diligent steps I take.
Plans for the future
I made in the past.
Today I face the future
Yet it won't last.
Depending on the future
Is so inefficient.
Because the so-called future
Is vague and transcient!
'you'll live well in the future
if the present is well lived! ! '

Miss You
By eric clapton, greg phillinganes and bobby columby
Dont change your mind,
I aint got the time to sit and wonder.
Im doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I wont go under.
You know Ive come this far without you;
It wont be too hard to be alone.
Ive got choices all around me,
So I wont be spending too much time at home.
Girl, Im gonna miss you.
Im gonna miss you, baby.
I cant forgive you,
Instead Im gonna miss you, baby.
No, dont say a word.
I already heard that you dont love me.
In your state of mind,
I dont need to hear your side of the story.
Your friends all said we had a future
And I dont think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad theyll be when you decide to go.
Chorus
I broke my back to make you happy.
Sometime, somehow, someones got to care.
If you think youre better off without me,
Just remember, its a dirty world out there.
Chorus
Im gonna miss the ground you walk on,
Gonna miss the air you breathe.
Im just not quite happy, baby,
bout your crazy plans to leave.

Victim Of Love
-chorus:
I dont wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I dont wanna break
My heart over you
Im building a wall
Everyday its getting higher
This time I wont end up
Another victim of love
You say that I could
Show some emotion
That Ive been
Keeping secrets from you
But I can see through
All your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
Im gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You wont break down my protection
Chorus
Im gonna lock up
What Im feeling inside
Aint no way you can
Break down the door
Cause this time Ive learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications
