A father’s love, gets in the way
There’s so much I, want to say
All your choices, they're not mine
If only we could, turn back the time
Know that I love you
And that I love you
Second Chances…are all I need
I need from you
After all that we’ve been through
I can’t wait, to fly away
Sometimes your dreams, get in the way
Oh yes I know, but I can’t stay
We both can’t live, in yesterday
Know that I love you
And that I love you
Second Chances…are all I need
I need from you
A daughter’s dream, her hope and pride
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
There’s so much, we need to do
There’s so much, we’ve been through
Second chances…are all I need
I need from you
Second Chances…are all I need
From you
I’ll Take a Chance
We never know how, to find our way
We have each other
That much I’ll say
Heart of Darkness

Lyrics: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Copyright: Joseph A. O'Donnell
The fog of war, has always been clear
Can we take any more, or pack up our gear?
And go Away… Away
Writing the stories, we often resent
Layers of letters, never were sent
And thrown Away … Away…
There’s a heart of darkness, that blocks the light of day
There’s a lost and nervous soldier, who fights his will to stay
In that heart of darkness, that keeps our hearts at bay
There’s a poor and lifeless soldier, left to die, die another day
Down in the ditch, or up on a hill,
The sound and the fury, is silent and shrill
Then goes Away… Away…
There’s a heart of darkness, that blocks the light of day
There’s a lost and nervous soldier, who fights his will to stay
In that heart of darkness, that keeps our hearts at bay
There’s a poor and lifeless soldier, left to die, die another day
The fog of war, has always been clear
Can we take any more, or pack up our gear
And go Away… Away…
There’s a heart of darkness, that blocks the light of day
There’s a lost and nervous soldier, who fights his will to stay
In that heart of darkness, that keeps our hearts at bay
There’s a poor and lifeless soldier, left to die, die another day
Remembering

Lyrics: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Copyright: Joseph A. O'Donnell
When I looked outside, you stood there
I couldn’t even make a sound
You couldn't even look me in the eye
We could hardly say…Goodbye
Remember when we used to have some fun
Long long walks, our faces in the sun
When all our dreams came true
It was all because of you
Remembering, the day we said…goodbye
Memories, are swimming in my mind
I’m drowning in that pool, going blind
Something tells me that I must go on.
And find the answers….in this Song
Remember when we used to have some fun
Long long walks, our faces in the sun
When all our dreams came true
It was all because of you
Remembering, the day we said…goodbye
Driftwood
Composer: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Arrangement: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Vocals: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Instruments: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Lyrics: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Copyright: Joseph A. O'Donnell
We are bumbling bees, buzzing around
Looking for honey, or any sweet sound
We are searching, out there looking around
If we see a mountain, we don’t climb
But we want a miracle, the easiest kind
We are searching, out there looking around
What can we do? What can we say?
We’re floating like driftwood, wasting away
If you only knew, the things that we know
We have, all that we want, but nothing to show
Show us what’s real, open our eyes
Tell us the truth, and hear us cry
We are helpless, out there looking around
What can we do? What can we say?
We’re floating like driftwood, wasting away
If you only knew, the things that we know
We have, all that we want, but nothing to show
What can we do? What can we say?
We’re floating like driftwood, wasting away
If you only knew, the things that we know
We have, all that we want, but nothing to show
Ghost Girl

Lyrics: Joseph A. O'Donnell
Copyright: Joseph A. O'Donnell
It was a cold night, a fire in the flame
Then I would think of her, a portrait in a frame
Was she a dream? Fading away
Ghost girl, Ghost girl, a picture that I drew
Ghost girl, Ghost girl, a love I never knew
So long ago. Nobody knows
Like a ghost you would come and go
An empty face, I could never see
A reality, I knew could never be
Was she a dream? Fading away
Ghost girl, Ghost girl, a picture that I drew
Ghost girl, Ghost girl, a love I never knew
So long ago. Nobody knows
Like a ghost you would come and go

Lyrics: Joseph A. O'Donnell

I was born alone
To a dark world yet unknown
I’m a blind man, who wants to see
Then a light, came over me
It’s a time, and a place. It’s an everlasting grace
It’s a hope, and a dream
To believe.
My time will pass to history
My life reveals the mystery
Then I know, and understand
And feel the palm, of heaven’s hand
It’s a time, and a place. It’s an everlasting grace
It’s a hope, and a dream
To believe.
It’s a time, and a place. It’s an everlasting grace
It’s a hope, and a dream
To believe. Believe

Give, what you can to me
Live, like you want to be
But don’t, turn away from me…This time
Give, give a little love, Give a little time
To you and me
Take, what you need from me
Mistakes, you’ve forgiven me
Forsake, what you said to me…This time
Give, give a little love, Give a little time
To you and me
Please share, a lifetime with me
Say a prayer, for what will be
Forgive, for eternity…This time
Give, give a little love, Give a little time
To you and me
There’s a time for giving, and its right here and now
If you ask for forgiveness, you’ll find it somehow

Lyrics: Joseph A. O'Donnell

My brother, you revealed a broken tear
Then I sat there, as I watched you disappear
Then a sun rose, it left behind my sorrow
It spilled into tomorrow
The light is you
The light is you
Shine on
The light is you
Suddenly, as you passed on through the door
My heartbreak, doesn’t hurt me anymore
Then I saw you, right before my eyes
Much to my surprise. Your spirit touched the skies
The light is you
The light is you
Shine on
The light is you
Shine on... Shine on... Shine on... Shine on...
