Great Expectations

"GREAT EXPECTATIONS" By Jesse Scobie

Verse I:
One door opens, the other closes
Always the wrong time and place
You had visions of where you would be
But now they’re gone without a trace

I see a boy in the mirror, with a smile on his face
He’s dreaming of playing at Carnegie Hall
He’s dreaming of the girl he’ll take to the ball
I wish I had the heart to say it’s not a waste

Chorus I:
We all have great expectations of where we think we should be
We all start on different foundations, but we share a common creed
Goals of success, helping the world from sea to shinning sea
To fulfill those great expectations, rising above is the key
To following your dreams

Verse II:
She’s been having the hardest time
Trying to remember all of her lines
He’s running through hell just to find
Money to put food on the table

I see a family of three, laughing in the park
They’re walking their dog on the street
While a homeless man eats for free
I see the world rising, past the dark


Chorus II:
We all have great expectations of where we think we should be
We all start on different foundations, but we share a common creed
Goals of success, helping the world, breaking the chains to be free
To fulfill those great expectations, we change what we need
And live out our dreams..

"Clouds" By Jesse Scobie
Verse 1
Nobody can stop the falling of the rain
Or heal the broken-hearted pain
The thunder crackles, lightning strikes
And you don’t know what it fees like

Climb
To carry the burden of others in your head
Even when there’s sunlight, you feel dead
The past never quite disappears in here
The future is not always so clear

Chorus 1
Clouds fill your mind and keep you lost
You can’t find the time to look ahead
Clouds fill your mind and you feel cross
Too much confusion to what’s been said

Verse 2
Everybody wants to have a sunshine day
Creativity to share in everything you say
But sometimes precipitation is in the way
And you must let clouds fall where they may

Climb 2
To carry the uncertainties of others in your head
The feeling you get when you struggle out of bed
The future you is guiding your new path
So sit back in the rain and dance and laugh
At the

Chorus 2
Clouds fill your mind and keep you lost
You can’t find the time to look ahead
Clouds fill your mind and you feel cross
Too much confusion to say what’s said
