Music Afterall By: John Torres V1 I’d never been that way before. I’d never opened up that door. I’d never seen nobody quite like you. But these days they come and go, All the people that we know And I wonder if you wonder was it true You met a man along the way He had something new to say You met someone with color in his eyes They thought that you might be the one, You said, ‘I’m just having fun.’ Oh mister it’s alright, just don’t you ask me why Ch1 And as these nights they fade away Wonder what that man would say Seems like he was having such a ball And those who strongly did believe Well eventually they did leave And I’m guessing it’s just music after all. V2 We can make a little change We can try and test the range Between the countryside, your laptop and the moon. It’s a just a choice you make I guess Between your comforts and a mess And yes this mess it mine, and I will see it through You got a part in the parade Cotton candy lemonade You can have it all, and you can have it free But that dream you left behind Well it was one of a kind And after all these songs I’m starting to agree Ch2 And as these nights they fade away Wonder what that man would say Seems like he was having such a ball And those who strongly did believe Well eventually they did leave And I’m guessing it’s just music after all.

Part of the Plan By John Torres V1 Do you know that I set you apart? Can I borrow some room in your heart? If this is my moment then I want my moment with you I can see it whenever you smile That your soul is no longer on trial The faint recognition that life is much more than you knew CH And it’s true You were meant to be free And you’re through Leaving dreams in your sleep It’s all right If you just now believe The world is in your hand It’s all part of the plan V2 What you do doesn’t have to be big It’s okay if you just want to live So pull up the covers my dear if you wanna sleep in. It’s like that present tucked under the tree Was always there but you just couldn’t see And just cause you want it, it doesn’t mean that it’s a sin Ch And it’s true You were meant to be free And you’re through Leaving dreams in your sleep It’s all right If you just now believe The world is in your hand It’s all part of the plan Just take a moment and let it all in Don’t stop dreaming This is the part where the magic begins Don’t stop dreaming (Repeat) ---- Two Old Men Music (BMI) Kobza Music (ASCAP)

American Dreams By: John Torres and Tim Kobza © 2009 – Two Old Men Music (BMI) Kobza Music (ASCAP) V1 Two cars, two kids, not too many mistakes Not too much information, just whatever it’s gonna take And mister, I would like some more please There’s something else to say Ain’t hardly scratched the surface yet of what they’re gonna pay me But I just need bare minimum, Well that’s a maximum lie Want a hundred billion dollars and a castle in the sky And maybe along with that castle might wanna throw in a plane So I can fly above the clouds and go somewhere sunny when it rains CH I know that there is something wrong inside my head Or so is seems Maybe it’s time I reconsider my American Dreams. V2 I want a brand new pinky ring for every day of the year I want gold plated happiness, but I want it sincere And maybe something crazy, like a billion dollar boat And that’s just for the decorations, another billion to make it float A little power and some fame to sprinkle on the top How bout’ a crack team of surgeons for when the other shoe drops Cause we want more than we can spend and more than we can take We want constant adoration and some hearts that we can break (I say) CH I know that there is something wrong inside our heads, or so is seems Maybe it’s time we reconsider our American Dreams. BRI What’s the use . You win. You lose. It all just feels the same The more I take, the more I feel I’m subject to this game. V3 (breakdown verse) I world without oppression. I want a country without lies Eliminate depression and dry all the teary eyes Do right when no one’s looking. Tell the truth in every way Not alter my decisions based on what your friends might say Wanna be thoughtful of other people, like a person aught to be No drown in self indulgence, thinking me me me me me. Don’t wanna talk about changes, don’t wanna read em on a page Wanna turn em’ into actions, not just sing em from the stage (I say) CH I know that there is something wrong inside my head, or so is seems Think it’s time we reconsider our American Dreams.

Depend On Me 02:40
Depend on Me John Torres V1 She says, ‘I really need to tell you about the hard day I’ve had.’ We talk. Eventually it always works out to not so bad. Ch The way she sounds, there’s something happening, something new I see It’s wonderful how you depend on me V2 We talk. Sometimes it’s like we’re sharing a brain, the way you speak my language Though two, it happens like we’re one in the same. So we share our damage Ch2 And as those storms come raging at this boat lost out at see I hope she knows she can depend on me Bri We’re floating away. We’ll let it all pass by. No words left to say. No reason not to try. This time, we both know why V3 One day, when both of us are over the hill, and our minds are fading, We’ll laugh, and think about the days in the past, when we were only dating. Ch3 And as we watch our lives pass into memories and dreams I hope that day you’ll still I wonder if you will Hope that day you’ll still depend on me Two Old Men Music (BMI) and Kobza Music (ASCAP)

Okay 05:23
Okay Copyright 2003 John torres Music V1 A brand new disposition, Just a moment late. A lifetime of enlightenment, the moment you escaped. Finally things are looking up, I’m looking up your name. Finally I’m growing up, but I still feel the same. Its okay if you’ve fallen. Its only time to heal. Its okay, I’m not stalling, but what a way to feel. The cards are on the table, but I just found out the deal. V2 Things are finally shaping up, falling into place. But in my mind I’m making up the features of your face. Challenging my apathy, servicing my shame; Understanding everything, but nothing is the same. And its okay if you’ve fallen. It’s better in the end. Its okay I’m not stalling, but I will not pretend That this is getting easier without the love you lend. Ch And Ooh, this must be delayed reaction. Cause what I thought was missing was my only satisfaction. And Ooh, I’ve made a mess of my tomorrows Cause what I had yesterday today I cannot even borrow. V3 Sometimes I’m awake at night, wondering where you are, And asking if some lucky man is giving you the stars. Have I been replaced by him? Does he make you glow Like planets on our ceiling where our love no longer goes. And it’s okay if you’ve fallen. It’s only time to grow. It’s okay she’s not calling, as long as you still know That forward is the one direction you have left to go. Ch And Ooh, this must be delayed reaction. Cause what I thought was missing was my only satisfaction. And Ooh, I’ve made a mess of my tomorrows Cause what I had yesterday today I cannot even borrow (repeat)

Paint the Sun Copyright 2003 John Torres Music Written in 2001 by: John Torres v1 Summer day, gentle sun, and blazing down upon our eyes a Silent voice, made of choice, unending verses fill this time oh fill this space, Fill my heart with you. Fill my heart with you. v2 Made of joy made of you. You are the sun my day is made of. Where to fly, where to soar? Oh when oh when oh tell me when? Oh tell me Will you sing your song for me? ch. It’s almost time. It’s in your eyes. I can’t explain. But maybe God will paint the sun, and give the world your eyes. v3 Who am I? How can I presume to touch this perfect creature? Summer day, gentle sun. It used to rain on solemn days of solitude. It used to rain on me. v4 Who am I to touch this love? Oh where has all my courage gone to? Who am I to see this light? Oh help me reach the stars I see. Oh you could be the air that keeps me pure. ch2 (2x) It’s almost time. It’s in your eyes. I can’t explain. But maybe God will paint the sun, and give the world your eyes.

Crazy Man’s Mind By: John Torres and Tim Kobza Copyright 2008 Two Old Men Music (BMI) Kobza Music (ASCAP) V1 Lying there on a Sunday I felt it come on me. I was drifting away. Though my eyes had grown weary, Could’ve sworn I saw clearly the words on a page Ch Oh and as I was reading, I knew I was seeing A small glimpse of something divine Oh but now as I tell you, I wonder were those just Some words from a crazy mans mind V2 Well the people were changing And growing arranging the world into beautiful days They were patiently caring, and sharing, and daring To live in most beautiful ways Ch Oh but was I mistaken? From where was it taken This vision, suspended in time Though my memories are true, still I put it to you Were they lies from a crazy man’s mind Bridge Meet me at noon. Darling it’s true We’re gonna live in this crazy man’s mind Just park the car. Say where you are We’re gonna live in this crazy man’s mind Had to be real. It’s too much to feel These dreams in my brain are to great to conceal And I can’t stay here Where nothing is clear Where love is just wasted Replaced it with fear I know that there’s a heaven somewhere Maybe only in this crazy man’s mind

Along for the Ride By: John Torres V1 Took a ride on a rocket ship. There were angels at the door. Was brought the cup so I took a sip. I didn’t know what it had in store. pre But that’s the way it happens. Oh that’s what makes your heart bloom. Even though you’re laughing, We both know there’s not enough room. v2 You did a twirl, took another dip. And I hit “repeat” for the same song. You took a ride on a rocket ship. I took a dive falling headlong. pre And oh that’s the way it happens Oh, that’s what makes your heart bloom. Even though you’re laughing, We both know there’s not enough room. ch Send a message to someone I am opened wide. I’ve found the answers to problems, but they’re locked up inside. Send a message to someone. You know I can’t hide. Your riding shotgun, but you’ve just come along for the ride. v3 Spoon-fed ten thousand lies, Just thankful for the service. Looking into those deep brown eyes, Oh, and now I’m getting nervous. pre And oh, that’s the way it happens That’s what makes your heart bloom. Even though you’re laughing, We both know there’s not enough room. ch2 Send a message to someone I am opened wide. I’ve found the answers to problems, but they’re locked up inside. Send a message to someone. You know I can’t hide. Your riding shotgun, but you’ve just come along for the ride. br And if I can’t go would that be okay? Cause all the powers that be have followed your way. And don’t you know, there’s a sign up ahead. Do not enter. So I better turn this around because I will not enter. v3 Took a ride on a rocket ship but the angel was not there. ------ Two Old Men Music (BMI) Kobza Music (ASCAP)

Hallelujah 04:44
Hallelujah -By: John Torres Two Old Men Music (BMI) Kobza Music (ASCAP) V1 You and me have got a crazy kinda love I don’t even have to say a word It’s like you read my soul You and me, it’s always something new No matter where I wander It always leads me back to you Pre And how do you do it Find the love you give me? And I can’t find language And all I can say All I can say is CH Halleluiah (4X) V2 You and me, in a game we shouldn’t play Well you find me where I’m hiding But still each time I run away Well can’t you see that I’m not worth the time It doesn’t really matter You overlook my crimes Pre And how do you do it Find the love you give me? And I can’t find language And all I can say All I can say is CH Halleluiah (4X) BRI Now I feel the change Can I be the man that I’m meant to be Oh it’s you it’s always been you You’ve broken my heart, but set my soul free No more words, I can’t find words In my desecrated language CH Halleluiah (X4) Copyright 2008 John Torres

Muse 02:35
Muse Copyright 2003 John Torres Music Written in 1999 by: John Torres v1 One Dance, a moment’s chance to love again. And love might see us through. This cloud so deep inside my soul again It tells me what to do. pre1 And down that road I guess I knew That we would end up here. And in your eyes I saw what’s true, But all I felt was fear. ch1 When we’ve all grown old, will we find our youth? When we cross the door do we learn the truth? Racing with the sun, no one ever sees Our souls are crying in beauty. v2 On kiss, a moment’s wish for love again. Cause love is what we need. These tears that fall from skies and never die, They always take the lead. pre2 How does one go back and say the words that make complete, When love that ended yesterday has fallen in defeat. ch2 When we’ve all grown old, will we find our youth? When we cross the door do we learn the truth? Racing with the sun, no one ever sees Our souls are crying in beauty.
