ONLY YOU (Scott)
Only you can do what needs to be done,
to turn your tragedy into one that can be won.
Only you must walk down the street
that will get yourself back on your feet.
No one can help you, they've done all they could,
to do any more will prevent what's good,
So, pull yourself up, crawl first if you must,
back to the status where you won't turn to dust.
Not an easy road or a place you want to go,
but please do it for us who love you so.
And better yet, do it for you,
because you deserve a life without those blues.
You're a good person, son, and a brother,
a hard worker and very needed father,
with a good sense of humor and intelligent too,
please, oh please, see this one through!

TIES THAT BIND (Jamie)
Running away from ties that bind.
Running to a world in which she's blind.
Everyone talks, wondering what's on her mind,
with feelings of betrayal, they still speak kind.
She took a chance, a path she outlined.
I hope she can cope with the deal she has signed.
Will she come back or stay on the road?
Will she be sorry? Can she carry this load?
I hope her the best in what ever she may choose.
Either way she decides, I hope she doesn't lose.

TRUE BEAUTY (Christy)
She enters the room with grace and poise,
all eyes fall upon her, deafening the noise.
She pretends not to notice, yet feels their stares,
she secretly craves this and really does care.
She purposely dresses to draw such attention,
but never lets on and wouldn't dare mention...
that she really feels ugly and puts on this show,
to cover the impression of herself that's so low.
What she doesn't realize as she's performing this duty,
is that inside and out, she defines true beauty!
