LITTLE ONE
FERNANDE McNABB/JOHN DONALD
YOU CALLED ME LITTLE ONE
I HAD SO MUCH TO KNOW
I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND
I NEEDED ROOM TO GROW
CHORUS
YOU GAVE ME REASONS TO LOVE MYSELF
IN SPITE OF ALL MY FAULTS
YOU SAW THE STRENGTH IN ME
I NEVER SAW AT ALL
YOU WERE THE VOICE IN ME
WHEN MY WORLD WOULD FALL APART
YOU WOULD REMIND ME LOVE
NOT TO TRUST MY HEART
SOMETIMES EMOTIONS RUN
GET THE BEST OF ME
YOU TALK ME DOWN AGAIN
MAKE SENSE OF ALL MY GRIEF
CHORUS
YOU GAVE ME REASONS TO LOVE
NOW YOU’RE GONE I WILL STAND HERE ON MY OWN
I THINK OF YOU, SO I WON’T BE ALONE

SISTERS AT ARMS
FERNANDE McNABB/JOHN DONALD/JIM DONALD/WENDELL FERGUSON
HE STOOD ALONE AT THE END OF THE LANE
THIS WAS HIS HOME OVER FIELD AND PLAIN
IT LAY IN RUIN AND DISREPAIR
HE FELT A THOUSAND MILES FROM THERE
THE COST WAS HIGH, TO END THIS WAR
NOT JUST PAIN, SOMETHING MORE
VOICES HEARD FOREVERMORE
CHORUS
BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER,
SISTERS WITH ARMS IN THEIR CRADLE
BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER
SISTERS WITH ARMS
THE COST WAS HIGH, TO END THIS WAR
NOT JUST PAIN, SOMETHING MORE
VOICES HEARD FOREVERMORE
*SOLO*
HE THINKS OF THEM, NEVER KNEW THEIR NAMES
AND HE KNOWS, HE’LL NEVER BE THE SAME
THEY PAID THE PRICE, WITH BLOOD AND TEARS
HE FEELS A THOUSAND MILES FROM HERE
THE COST WAS HIGH, TO END THIS WAR
NOT JUST PAIN, SOMETHING MORE
VOICES HEARD FOREVERMORE

NOTHING ON MY BACK
FERNANDE McNABB/JOHN DONALD
I’M ON THE MOVE I HAVE NO HOME
I CAN’T STAY I GOTTA ROAM
TO DO THE THINGS I HAVE NEVER DONE
I CAN’T SEEM TO SETTLE DOWN
I’M LIVIN’ IN THE LOST AND FOUND
DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO EVEN PLAY YOUR GAME
CHORUS
I’M LOOKING FORWARD NEVER TURNING BACK
TIME IS HERE AND I GOT NOTHING ON MY BACK
I’M NOT THE KIND TO STAY FOR GOOD
AND EVEN WHEN I KNOW I COULD
YOU’LL HAVE TO TAKE ME AS I AM
*SOLO*
I’M NOT THE KIND, TO STAY FOR GOOD
AND EVEN WHEN I KNOW I SHOULD
YOU’LL HAVE TO TAKE ME AS I AM

IMAGINATION
FERNANDE McNABB/JOHN DONALD/JIM DONALD
LEAVE IT TO YOUR IMAGINATION
IN THE PLAYGROUND OF YOUR MIND
DANCE WITH ME LIKE YOU DON’T ME
LEAVE YOUR WORRIES FAR BEHIND
ALL THE COLOURS THERE FOR THE TAKING
JUST PICK ONE IF YOU LIKE
CHORUS
LEAVE IT TO YOUR IMAGINATION
TO PICK THE ONE THAT’S RIGHT
GO AHEAD PICK THE ONE THAT’S RIGHT
SAY IT LIKE YOU REALLY MEAN IT TELL IT LIKE IT IS
YOU DON’T NEED TO PRETEND YOU LOVE ME
JUST SEAL IT WITH A KISS
GO AHEAD AND SEAL IT WITH A KISS
LEAVE IT TO YOUR IMAGINATION
IN THE PLAYGROUND OF YOUR MIND
DANCE WITH ME LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW ME
LEAVE YOUR WORRIES FAR BEHIND

BE THE WOMAN
FERNANDE McNABB
I HAVE MY LIFE, AIN’T GOT NO PLANS
ONE THING’S FOR SURE, I DON’T NEED A MAN
WHO GIVES ME SIN AND MISERY
I HAVE WASHED THAT PAIN AWAY FROM ME
COME HELL OR HIGH, THE STORM HE ROLLED
BUT I HELD ON, TO SAVE MY SOUL
WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO SINK OR SWIM
I DIDN’T LIKE THE THOUGHT OF DYIN’
I TELL YOU NOW, HE’S GONNA COME
WOMAN GET OUT BEFORE THE STORM
COMES RAGING IN, HE’LL BE YOUR RUIN
YOU’LL BE A LOST SOUL ON HIS SHIP OF DOOM
SO TAKE MY HAND, YOU’RE GONNA SWIM
THEN WALK YOURSELF AWAY FROM HIM
YOU WILL BE PROUD, YOU WILL BE FREE
BE THE WOMAN THAT YOU WANT TO BE

CAN’T PREDICT
FERNANDE McNABB/JOHN DONALD/JIM DONALD
YOU CAN’T PREDICT WHAT’S AROUND THE CORNER
YOU CAN’T SAY WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE
YOU CAN’T REGRET THE THINGS YOU THINK
YOU WOULD, HAVE COULD, HAVE DONE
CHORUS
YOU CAN ONLY BE A WITNESS
TO A DAY IN HISTORY
LESSONS LEARNED THE HARD WAY
ARE LESSONS JUST THE SAME
* guitar*
CHORUS
YOU MUST ADMIT IT WAS UNEXPECTED
YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST IT’S DONE
SO JUST FORGET THE THINGS YOU THINK
YOU WOULD, HAVE COULD, HAVE DONE

THIS ONE IS FOR ME
FERNANDE McNABB/JOHN DONALD/JIM DONALD
I PLAYED ALL THE SONGS THAT YOU REQUESTED
THE DANCE ENDED AT THREE
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO SIT THIS ONE OUT
THIS ONE, THIS ONE IS FOR ME
I’VE BEEN SINGING A LONG LONG TIME
PICKED IT UP WHEN I WAS EIGHT OR NINE
BUT I SANG MY LAST SONG AT QUITTIN’ TIME
MY LAST SONG AT QUITTIN TIME
CHORUS
*GUITAR*
I’VE BEEN POURING ALL MY SOUL
BET YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW
I SANG MY LAST SONG, IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
TIME FOR YOU TO GO

SHOES
FERNANDE McNABB
I COULDN’T FIT THE SHOES OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND YOUR RULES
MY SPIRIT’S SOMETHING YOU COULD NEVER TAME
YOU THOUGHT I WAS A FOOL YOU HAD YOUR LIST OF DON’T AND DO’S
BUT I GREW TIRED OF CARRYING YOUR BLAME
CHORUS
I’M NOT LOOKING FOR YOUR REDEMPTION,AND DID I MENTION
THAT I CAN LAUGH AND LOVE AND I CAN LIVE AGAIN
NOW I HAVE TRULY FOUND MY LIMITATIONS HAVE NO BOUNDS
I’M BIGGER THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT I’D BE
DUSTED OFF YOUR ANGRY WORDS, YEAH MY FUTURE’S LOOKIN’ GOOD
AND SO FAR, I’M LIKING WHAT I SEE
*VOCAL*
THAT’S WHY I WROTE THIS TUNE, I WANNA SHARE A THOUGHT WITH YOU
THAT LIFE IS SHORT AND HAPPINESS IS FREE
SO DON’T YOU PAY THE PRICE JUST ASK ME I PAID IT TWICE
GRAB YOUR SHOES AND DANCE ALONG WITH ME
