No Time For Yesterday By: John Torres Copyright 2005 John Torres Music V1 This could set you free and we would live Like perfect people in this kingdom And we would never die, we’d never even wonder why we have this freedom And this is not the end it’s the beginning Of forever this is heaven So stop your wondering, say goodbye to all the worry that Your Life has Given V2 We’re moving at a faster rate than we can Stop and contemplate it’s magic And at this speed Oh I can see us Living in a world that isn’t tragic Cause lying on the floor I wondered What’s beyond the door how could it hurt me To feel so right despite the wrong But in your arms I know you won’t desert me Pre So Don’t turn around because you see the sun go down upon you You hear the sound but can you be the essence of the music Don’t close your eyes and make believe that you’re forgotten We’ve got not time for yesterday (no time for yesterday) Ch Let’s go out and see the world I can show you how Tell me where you want to go You can be there now There’s so much more for you to see if only you would just believe that There is life that’s waiting to be lived Oh, Don’t give that up for yesterday V3 Could it be that all of this is happening because there is a reason And does the weather change as if to tell us that this too is just a season. Cause something seems a little strange about the patterns that I see emerging. And though I might be slow at times I know inside this fire still is burning Pre Don’t turn around because you see the sun go down upon you You hear the sound but can you be the essence of the music Don’t close your eyes and make believe that you’re forgotten We’ve got not time for yesterday (no time for yesterday) Ch Let’s go out and see the world I can show you how Tell me where you want to go You can be there now There’s so much more for you to see if only you would just believe that There is life that’s waiting to be lived Oh, Don’t give that up for yesterday

Comply By John Torres Copyright 2005 John Torres Music V1 It’s another fine day to try to make sense of where you are and where you’re going. And it’s another fine moment to set your sails. You will not fail. The wind is blowing. And there’s a fresh opportunity at your door it isn’t trying to sell you something. And if you let the opportunity pass you by it might forever leave you wondering. Pre 1 And it’s you that must comply. And I’ll be on your side. I’ll be cheering you on. V2 I can see it in your eyes, you are screaming inside, but you’re smiling on the surface. There’s a fire in you heart and you’re coming apart at the seams like you’re getting nervous. But there’s a fresh opportunity at your door and it’s calling you directly. And if you let the opportunity leave your door you will be missing out completely. Pre 1 And it’s you that must comply. And we’ll be on your side. I’ll be cheering you on. CH1 On and on all through the night, I’ll love you and I’ll hold you tight. There isn’t any need to fight what’s going on inside you. On and on I’ll point your way. There’s really nothing more to say. The distance is too far away if I’m not here beside you. (Repeat)

Maybe By: John Torres Copyright 2006 John Torres V1 Maybe we could be movie stars and never show the tears Maybe we could be millionaires and buy away our fears Maybe things would better if we weren’t growing old each year Maybe it would be easier if everything were free And all our problems were solved like half an hour on T.V. Maybe you would be happier if you had never talked to me V2 Maybe I’d write a story about a man who lost his way And I could live in a country where the words are hard to say And maybe no one would notice if I slowly drift away Oh but I’d miss you I’d miss you Ch Maybe this is just a warning sign And maybe Maybe this is just a state of mind And maybe Maybe if we look then we might find That we don’t want these maybes Maybe we should call it quits today And maybe Maybe we’d regret the things we say And Maybe Maybe we were meant to always stay together We don’t need these maybes Maybe V3 You see I’m tired of talking now It’s time to go to bed And all the worries and problems have their party in my head But still I can’t help but wonder about those wise words that I read They said maybe “Maybe this is all a dream” Ch Maybe this is just a warning sign And maybe Maybe this is just a state of mind And maybe Maybe if we look then we might find That we don’t want these maybes Maybe we should call it quits today And maybe Maybe we’d regret the things we say And Maybe Maybe we were meant to always stay together We don’t need these maybes Maybe Outro Maybe we don’t need your maybes Maybe this is how it should be (repeat)

Your Life By: John Torres Copyright 2006 John Torres V1 I have no answers to all of my questions And I don’t have an outfit for every occasion And I hate to say it but I just don’t feel so free Who is the captain and who gives the orders And where are my limits and who draws the borders And why can’t I be more than what you’ll let me be. CH Cause I don’t wanna waste my time Living someone else’s life And I don’t care I don’t mind Tell me what you find when you get there I don’t wanna waste my time Saying sorry for my crimes And I don’t care I don’t mind My mistakes are mine. V2 We’re right on time Just like they expected And we’re so afraid that the might have detected That we didn’t follow the instructions perfectly We’re really sorry if we cause a scene And we really hope that we didn’t seem mean But we’re tired of trying Tired of trying to save face CH Cause we don’t wanna waste our time Living someone else’s life And we don’t care We don’t mind Tell us what you find when you get there I don’t wanna waste my time Saying sorry for my crimes And I don’t care I don’t mind My mistakes are mine. Outro: You can do what you like with your story You can live if you want for your glory I’m not gonna go your way I won’t trade away my days (You can do what you like. You can do what you like) (It’s your life. It’s your life)

Stay With Me By: John Torres Copyright 2005 John Torres Music V1 It’s been 14 days since you went your own way And I guess you don’t have anything to say So perhaps I thought much more of what we had Cause I didn’t think that it was all that bad Was that only me Ch And was it me that made believe That there was something in the breeze To make me wanna make you stay with me And was I blinded by your smile Did you just love me for a while To make me wanna make you stay with me V2 You’ve requested that I stay your smiling friend But I can’t remember how to make pretend And I just can’t change the way I feel inside So I guess I’ll do my best to run and hide (don’t we own that to each other) Ch And was it me that made believe That there was something in the breeze To make me wanna make you stay with me And was I blinded by your smile Did you bring heaven for a while To make me wanna make you stay with me And was it me that made believe That there was something in the breeze To make me wanna make you stay with me And was I blinded by your smile Did you just love me for a while To make me wanna make you stay with me Stay with me Stay with me

Transparent By: John Torres Copyright 2006 John Torres V1 I could tell you everything that I feel I could even swear it’s real And you’d believe me I could show you all that lies in my heart You could sift through every part before you leave me Pre Oh no, I don’t stand a chance I won’t make the grade There’s too much I’m revealing I can’t keep it in I keep spilling out While you’re there concealing Ch Well it doesn’t No it doesn’t Oh it doesn’t It doesn’t pay to be transparent You know it doesn’t I’m sure it doesn’t It doesn’t pay to be transparent V2 Strap me to your table, cut me up Put two dollars in the cup That’s your kind donation You can point at all my insides now I can even show you how If it’s for education Pre Cause I, I don’t stand a chance I won’t make the grade There’s too much I’m revealing Oh I, I can’t keep it in I keep spilling out While you’re there concealing Ch Well it doesn’t No it doesn’t Oh it doesn’t It doesn’t pay to be transparent You know it doesn’t I’m sure it doesn’t It doesn’t pay to be transparent

First of All Words and Music By: John Torres Copyright 2003 John Torres Music V1 If you could see all that is lying in wait Would you still believe you were the victim of fate? All by yourself, all you can hear is your voice. Glued to your chair, can’t see the power of choice. Ch I can’t seem to go on my own. Why must I remain all alone. You whisper your wisdom in song. And it’s alright if you know that first of all you were all wrong. V2 Finally I see, you’ve always been at my side. When all of this time I made believe you had died. If I survive, swear I won’t do this again. Wish we could change. Wish I could call you my friend. Ch2 But oh, how could I think it okay? What made me believe in this way? You whisper your wisdom in song. Still it’s alright Now I know that first of all I was all wrong

Where We Are 03:26
Where We Are By: John Torres Copyright 2006 John Torres V1 We ran toward the mountain We talked in their language We looked like your children We learned all your answers We stayed in your castle We dressed in your armor We sang all your music But still we are wandering Ch And we don’t really know where we are, Don’t really know where we Are you gonna show us? Will we ever know us? We don’t really know where we are, Don’t really know where we Are you gonna show us? Will we ever know at all? V2 Well they have the power And they’ve got the answers And they’re on the T.V. While we’re coming after And they are the drivers And they’re in the cockpit While we’re running forward But still we are wandering Ch And we don’t really know where we are, Don’t really know where we Are you gonna show us? Will we ever know us? We don’t really know where we are, Don’t really know where we Are you gonna show us? Will we ever know us at… We don’t really know where we are, Don’t really know where we Are you gonna show us? Will we ever know us at… We don’t really know where we are, Don’t really know where we Are you gonna show us? Will we ever know us at all?

The Best In Me By: John Torres Copyright 2005 John Torres Music V1 I can tell you that I feel it growing inside my heart And I’m a bit afraid because I don’t know exactly what it is I never spared a second thought about someone else Now I seem to think about the way my actions affect you Pre And you treat me how you’d like to be treated And you make sure you’re the last to be seated And I can’t tell you where you get your passion But you amaze me V2 For someone so simple you’ve got lots of heavy language And I’m afraid because I don’t know exactly what you mean When you say that there is something lingering around me And I could be a million dollars freer without money I don’t want to admit oh you’re onto something I’m just so scared of what “something” might do to me Take it all away, won’t you take my every idol You keep my glory oh you take my titles Ch Cause you, you bring out the best in me You, you bring out the best in me And I can’t tell you how you do what you do to me Oh but now, now I can’t tell you with certainty You amaze me V3 It isn’t very hard to see that you have been gifted And I can say that I don’t know exactly what this means I don’t want to lie to you cause you see right through me And it wouldn’t do a lot of good if you turned away now Pre And you treat me how you’d like to be treated And you make sure you’re the last to be seated And I can’t tell you where you get your passion But you amaze me Ch you, you bring out the best in me You, you bring out the best in me And I can’t tell you how you do what you do to me Oh but you treat me how you’d like to be treated And you make sure you’re the last to be seated And I can’t tell you where you get your passion But you amaze me
