Sunlight 03:18
Sunlight The grey sky, had it’s own corner in my eye Promise of the day It would break and fade away Stepping into light, to breathe in new life Sunlight It shines inside of you Waking up to fear, from this change It’s like holding up a mirror The purest part of me, you set free, you set free With you in my life, these days are so bright with sunlight You brought it here with you Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2006

First Rain 03:43
First Rain From night to day The summer fades but the memories stay with me It brings a smile Soon I’ll be coming home The bright reds and the golds display for miles, each gorgeous mile The smell of rain, brings a dream of nights spent wrapped with you It’s good to know, the warmth and the glow In ember’s gentle light as thunder rolls, calling me home And I can’t wait to get home A daydream’s not the same as coming home, coming home Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2008

Turn Around 01:50
Turn Around It's the tortured soul who knows The ticket taker is at your door Change the channel change your view, but hope just turns to stone in you What we can't see we fear the most Will our children live like ghosts? Prophet's scream The proof’s been found Is it to late to turn around? Turn around Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2008

Day by Day 02:59
Day by Day Open to see what lies in me and what I don't understand Bringing the past to life again to sort the truth from the pain Day by day, miles away Trying to share but caught unaware by emotions finally free Forcing me to feel these wounds that never heal To turn around and live today Letting go, day by day Setting free, the love in me Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2008

Letter To Myself It's not enough, to live our lives today and leave it all to trust Conditioned now to say, don't see how I can help, It's just so far away I give a sigh then I tell a lie, to myself There's no easy way Denial that's handed down, explains it all away We blame it on the times "They’re on their knees again, when will they see the light?" We hear the cries and we sell the lies When will we stop to wonder why, within ourselves? Where is the love, within ourselves? Where is the love, within myself? Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2008

What’s it For? There's something here, that's out of place Wrapped in the fear, and blinding faith One more voice here in the fold, feeling helpless, feeling cold What's it for? What's it for? We closed the door on what life was before Forever changed We're searching for our innocence in vain Another year has gone away A Mother's fear, is still day to day Another son will fall and die, all because they sold a lie So what's it for? What's it for? We closed the door on what life was before The promise fades Determined to, relive mistakes we've made We never wanted war What's it all for? Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2008

My Winter Window Waking up, what survived inside of me Through this open window, I'm learning what it means To be this close and trust I'll find a way to bring the light into the dark A winter with no secrets A story to be told Wrapped inside this freedom, its truth can be so cold It strips you down and helps you find a way to seize the moment from a spark Waking up To see myself Waking up To free myself Waking up To be myself This voice in me, well it’s finally free Brent Ratkovich Copyright 2008
