THE DAY BEFORE

by Michele Brazil 12/16/95

 

Verse 1

I'm running away

I just can't take another day

Not looking behind

Cuz I've been wasting all my time

I know that I'm going

Somewhere that I'll be showing

 

CHORUS

The day before

When somebody slammed the door in my face

Not looking back just going on

Facing the day where I'll be strong

The day before

 

verse 2

Was sent to a place

Where my whole life was a disgrace

I'll never go back

I should not have to tell you that

I know that I'm going

Somewhere that I'll be showing

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Bridge

Just look at where I've been

Just look at where I'm headed

I want it all to end

All that I have dreaded

Just tell me where to go

I don't know what to do

Just look inside my heart

And you will see what is true

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

 

THE ROAD TO NO-WHERE

by Michele Brazil 12/16/95

 

Verse 1

I'm trapped in a place where

No-one can see

I'm stuck where I am

Until I am free

 

I never thought to change

So look what happened to me

I wish it would all end

So that I could be

 

CHORUS

The road to no-where

Leads me down a very narrow way

Wish it could go somewhere

Just not to the place where things are gray

 

It's better white than dark

But its better dark than gray

The road to no-where

Is what I'm headed down each day

 

verse 2

I used to be a someone

But now I'm all alone

Everybody knew me

Had lots and lots of friends

 

I used to have a boyfriend

But those times were then

Now I just keep going

Till God for me sends

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

 

 

On one of our outings as we rode in the bus back to school, I remember looking out the window and seeing the smallest moon I'd ever laid eyes on. I am a California native and our moons were big and full of life. The Missouri moon seemed desolate like my circumstances.

 

Where the Moon is Big

by Michele Brazil 12/16/95

 

verse 1

When I was a little girl

I prayed that I would be the world

Wanted to be a somebody

Now that I am older I

Don’t want to live just want to die

Cuz I am a no-body

 

CHORUS

I've tried everything I could try

I've cried every tear I could cry

But still I am here

And I'm goin' nowhere

 

I want to go back

To the place where I was born

But that's a dream in the sky

To reach it is too high

 

I want to be what I want to be

In a world where life is free

But things just don't go that way

This what I'm trying to say

I want to go back

Where the moon is big

 

verse 2

Someday life won't pass me by

Someday I will fall and die

If I don't go back

But take another look around

Do you hear the greatest sound

I have to go back

 

REPEAT CHORUS
