"Honesty," by Jessamyn
"Take You Tonight," by David
"Margaret, Margaret," by Jessamyn.

Honesty

So you say you want honesty, and God knows, I try,
But to admit the way I'm feeling only makes me want to cry;
And to speak my heart to you, I must first face it myself,
And that's harder than anything else.

Well, I'm frightened by the future, but I cannot now look back;
The more I see before me, the more I feel the lack.
I'm frightened by desires that I cannot now fulfill,
And I do not know if I ever will.

CHORUS:
But I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna take it,
I'm gonna give, and I'm gonna grow.
If I can believe you, I can receive you;
I can learn and I can know
Which way to go.

So I flee into my hobbies, and I flee into my books,
And I wondered what is buried in my mind's enshrouded nooks.
But I can't flee to my dreams--no, I fear them most of all,
For dreams never silence their call.

REPEAT CHORUS

Well, I cannot give you anger, for I've buried it too deep,
And I cannot give my love because it's safer left asleep.
Nor can I bear this longing, for it hurts to much to need,
But all this will some day be freed.

REPEAT CHORUS

So you say you want honesty, and God knows, love, I try;
I am searching for the question when the answer's in my mind.
Just one thing is certain, and I hope you understand:
I wish someone would take my hand.

But I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna take it,
I'm gonna give, and I'm gonna grow.
If I can believe you, I can receive you;
I can learn and I can know
Which way to go.

Take You Tonight

You slipped into my dreams so very easily,
like a moonlit summer's breeze pushin' waves in from the sea.
You touched me through the past, like the sands of an hour glass,
With a song from your heart you sang out, sweet memories from days gone by.

CHORUS:
I want to take you tonight, babe, take you from reality;
I want to take you tonight, babe, take you to my fantasy.

In the quiet of the night, when reason has lost control,
I want to hold you so very tight, and gently caress your soul.
But many nights I lay awake, afraid to open my eyes,
cause when I do and I look around, I'll know its been a dream of lies.

I want to take you tonight, babe, take you from reality;
I want to take you tonight, babe, take you to my fantasy.
Yeah, join me in my fantasy
join me in my fantasy
Yeah, join me in my fantasy tonight.

Margaret, Margaret

Margaret, Margaret, leave your shell;
It doesn't suit you very well.
Show the world what you show me,
And the world will set you free.

Margaret, breaking down your walls,
It's time to put away your dolls.
It's time to greet the world outside;
It's time you laughed, and time you cried.

CHORUS:
And it may be strange to make so much change,
And it may be hard for a while,
But you'll never know if you never grow,
And you can't remain a child.

Margaret, Margaret, make your way:
It's time to face a brand-new day.
If you think you cannot start,
Then pay more heed to your heart.

Margaret, with your eyes shut tight,
Waiting for your errant knight--
Shake the sleep from your own eyes!
Don't wait to be some prince's prize.

CHORUS:
And it may be strange to make so much change,
But I know you'll come through it with style.
The joy and the pain are a part of the game,
And you can't remain a child.

Margaret, Margaret, look at me;
Throw away your mask, and see.
Learn to let the world inside,
And only then be satisfied.
