You just don't give up. There have been times when everything seemed to conspire against getting a book done or printed, and I would feel like turning my back on the whole thing. But I came back and persisted.

No Turning Back
There comes a point in our lives
when there is no turning back.
What is done is done
and there is no changing that.
Some mistakes that we’ve made
can never be reversed.
We can only go forward
hoping to never make them again.
There is no turning back
as far as our lives are concerned.
No turning back from things we’ve said
that somehow hurt someone.
Apologies cannot take back the words
though we may feel guilty about them.
There is no retracting things,
no turning back the clock.
We can only hope all those we’ve injured
will forgive us for the misdemeanours
that we have done.

We Can Start Here
(maire brennan/ dennis wood)
Producer for bonnie: jimmy smyth
Drifting stars above the high trees
Recognise, see its own destiny
And all the reasons to believe
Our future from tonight is through
Im talking to you...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here....
Ocean sounds below the high seas
Understand, listen to how we feel
Its the circle of our dreams
Touch me now or set me free
Im talking to you...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...
The fire in our hearts
We have found this perfect glow
Im talking to you...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...

Take Me Back
Take me back to see you smile again
And the love you had for your friends
Take me back for the times we had
When we joked and laughed take me back
'Cause I know you'll live forever
And I know we're still together
thru' your music and your love
Take me back, oh take me back, Oh take me back
You were proud and strong
You taught me right from wrong, what a friend!
Take me back for the words you spoke
always get me home to the end
'Cause I know you'll live forever
And I know we're still together
thru' your music and your love
Take me back, take me back.
Take me back to see you smile again
And the love you had for your friends
Take me back for the times we had
When we joked and laughed take me back
'cause I'm lonely If you only could take me back
Take me back, won't you take me
Oh take me back, won't you take me, take me back,
Won't you take me, oh take me back,
I love the life that you live and the things that you give
So won't you take me, oh take me back
Won't you take me, (oh) take me back,
You said the strong would survive,
Oh Lord, gotta try
So won't you take me, oh take me back,
Won't you take me, oh take me back
There's just one thing to say:
Brother, I love you!
Won't you take me back...

All Or Nothing
I hope you can hear this
A song for the way that I feel tonight
Were tired and fearless
And run out of places left to hide
So come along
Were better off dead
If we cant live for something
Im in all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back
Im all out of reasons
For keeping it all locked up inside
Theres no use in waiting
Im laying it out there on the line
So bring it on
Right or wrong
Theres nothing left for me to lose so
Im in, all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back
So come along
Were better off living like
Its all that weve got
Im in, all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back

I Cant Give Back The Love I Feel For You
(brian holland/nickolas ashford/valeriesimpson)
Heres a tear, for a souvenir
And a dream, thats torn at the seams
Heres a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow Ill never see
And then youre free to go
But I cant give back the love
I feel for you
Im gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
I thought I was the one you needed the most
Take these hands, theyre no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But I cant give back the love
Thats a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
Heres a ring
That didnt mean a thing
And the letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
That I cant give back the love
I feel for you
Im gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of a misery
The hapiness I thought would last
Now a becoming just a thing of the past
But I cant give back the love
Thats a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
No, I cant give back
No, I feel for you
Oh, Im gonna be stuck
No matter what I do
cause itll grow till the world
Dont go round no more
But I cant give back the love
I feel for you
Im gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
But I cant give back the love
I feel for you
Im gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
But I cant give back the love
I feel for you
Im gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do

Left Out
My Lifes cut short
the summers gone
The times we had went down and are gone
I see a change
that takes me down
with all the rest
I see their backs turning away
with wishes of good luck
They say I'll be ok
These times go by so fast
I'll never have them back
I know that life
will end with a
diploma in my hand
What can I do to make this last?
The times we had
were so much fun
what can i do now
that they are gone?
Another life
not worth living
in mascarade
I see their backs turning away
with wishes of good luck
They say I'll be ok
These times go by so fast
I'll never have them back
I see their backs turning away
with wishes of good luck
They say I'll be ok
These times go by so fast
I'll never have them back

Give Back My Soul
Give back my soul,
You took it away one day,
Or I had given you,
On rent some day,
Give back my soul.
Life had happened before,
Life had happened since,
Life will happen henceforth,
But give back my soul.
The soul was my property sole;
The loss I would not bear
I have nobody to console,
Please give back my soul.
I want those happy days back,
I want those serene times back,
I want those joyous memories back,
Give back my Soul.
I know you won't come back,
For you have a life wonderful;
I know you won't look back,
For you have a companion cheerful;
Give back my soul.
Now people too say,
You were soulful once,
What happened?
You look soulless now,
Give back my soul.
My soul was mine.
I trusted you mine.
I gave you my soul.
Give back my Soul.
The body is dying.
The soul is flying.
The eternity shall happen;
For the sake of,
You and Mine.

Theres No Way
[intro]
Ooh, ooh, no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Said theres nothing I can do
Cuz you cant seem to get it through your head
That I really love you
Stop playing more, you know I do
I feel you
What does it take to make you see
Im right here for you
What do I have to say
Baby, will you listen to me
Theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Every other night
After we tell each other were in love
We seem to start a fight
Listen to me Im tired of being bothered
I dont mean to put you down
But my options are running out
I dont mean to cut you off
But we need to have a talk
Cuz theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Baby can you tell me why we have to fight
(I would rather not hurt you)
I just want everything to be alright
(whats the matter with me loving you? )
I just wanna live for you
The way you wanna live for me
I want every little thing
All the little things to be
Just the way they used to be
Oh tell me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me

No Turning Back
when it seems like life on you
has turned its back
and against you the cards are stacked.
when it seems you need a friend
and there is no hand outstretched to lend.
when you feel it's time to conceed
and there's no one there to fill your needs.
that is when you turn to GOD.
it is not very hard.
we all have times when we feel alone
but my strength has always shown.
for i put my faith in GOD above
for he gives us all his love.
when we feel like we're walking
down a dead end street
and we don't seem to find relief.
that is when you stop to pray
and ask the lord to lead the way.
and when you feel that your
heart has hardened to all around
and you feel that every one puts you down.
then again you stop and pray
and you will hear the good lord say.
don't ever give up my child
for i have been with you
for quite a while.
on you i will never turn away
because of your faith you will not sway.
when you put your faith in me
this will be my guarantee.
that in prayer you will never be without
for i will erase all those doubts.
i will give you all that you need
and in this life you will succeed.
this is the reason that there is
no turning back
from your love and faith i will not slack.

Anger- Linda's Story
There is this angry place
she said
that's been inside me since
my earliest days.
And when I need
I go there
for power
and resistance.
If ever
someone
hurts me
I let it out
to go free
and kill
or hurt back
and allow
it to take retribution.
It makes me feel strong
It makes me feel not so weak.
Only thing
is it is starting to get out of control.
After getting out
sometimes
it will not go back in
It remains out
and hurt
some people
it shouldn't.
That's the thing
about this Anger
thing
I'm afraid
most times now.
I am not in control.
It is.
Now it is Scary Anger
and I blank out at times
to wake up
shocked to see
what it has done.
I need help with it.

Lying From You
When I pretend, everything is what I want it be,
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I cant forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can, but
I cant pretend that this is they way it will stay, Im just
(lying to defend the truth)
I cant pretend of who you want me to be so
(Im lying my way from)
You

I wanna be close beside so let me go
(nah, no turning back now)
Let me take me back my life
Id rather be all alone
(no turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can see
(nah, no turning back now)
cause everyones lying from you

I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending took for what I ought to be
Remember fussing and all of that and this again
So I could turned it up to the person who was feeling it
And now you think this person really is me and i

Yo, the more I push Im pulling away cause im

I Cant Give Back The Love I Feel For You
(ashford / simpson / holland)
Heres a tear
For a souvenir
And a dream
Torn at the seams
Heres a promise that you made to me of love
Its more than Ill ever see
And then youre free to go
But I cant give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of my misery
And happiness I thought would last
Is now becoming just a thing of the past
But I cant give back the love
Thats a part of me
If you want just a little bit
Youll have to take all of me
Simply adore
til the world dont go round no more
Heres the ring
That didnt mean a thing
And letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind where the thought of you stayed
But, baby, you should know
That I cant give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
And follow up the one you need the most
Take these hands no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But I cant give back the love
Thats a part of me
If you want just a little bit
Youll have to take all of me
No, I cant give back the love that I feel for you, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I do
No, I cant give back the love thats a part of me, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what i, what I do
Gonna get stuck
Gonna get stuck

Asthenia
Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

I Want You Back
I want you back
I made a mistake breaking up with you
I realized that you were the right guy
You make me laugh, smile, be myself, and have fun
Please come back to me and give me another chance
I want you back
You not like other guys
I thought you not calling back, answer the phone, text, and hanging out with me
Mean you don't want me anymore
So that why I break up with you and I make a mistake for doing that
I want you back
When I got another boyfriend
I keep thinking about you
Everywhere I go with my new boyfriend, it
Remind me of all good times we have together
I want you back
I made a mistake breaking up with you
I realized that you were the right guy
You make me laugh, smile, be myself, and have fun
Please come back to me and give me another chance
I want you back
We are perfect together
You make me feel special and keep me going
Even when you are jerk sometimes
I still love you
I want you back

Tuning Into Something Wild
Key:-
"a" - anita
"r" - ray
A: tuning into something wild
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
You're feeling something wild now!
A: you're feeling something wild now!
R: hey precious, hey burning child
Time to tune to something wild
It's new, it's hot, it's all you're not
Don't turn back, it's all we've got
You're breathless, you're out of step
Time to learn just what is hip
If you think you're in a jumble
That's the way the cookie crumbles
A: tuning into something wild
Tuning into something
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
You're feeling something wild now!
R: wilder and wilder
A; you can feel it coming!
R: well, maybe so-- we're in a mess
World gone wrong but don't forget
There's a groove that makes you wonder
How the hell they sample thunder
It's glorious, it's boom, boom, boom
Bless the noise that shakes the room
If you think we're getting milder
Brace yourself for something wilder
A: tuning into something wild
Tuning into something
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
You're feeling something wild now!
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back

Turning white into black
You're feeling something wild now!
