Song Description

This is a song I wrote about a young girl who is in a vegetative state, with family, friends and others struggling with what to do. More importantly is the struggle within many of how to treat her. This (like my older tunes) was recorded pre-studio and pre-Pro Tools, with either a Tascam four track or a Fostex eight track. I'm pretty sure this one was recorded on the Tascam.

Lyrics

Not Out of Time
Words/music Frank Pietrantoni ©1997
Leslie Christensen (Vocals)

She's a girl on her back all her life.
Never knowing if it's wrong or right.
In a world without a voice,
Livin' day to day without a choice.
People talk like she doesn't know
Stop and stare like she's a show
They see this room as their own carnival.
But in the back of her mind
She knows that she's doing fine
And that these people are so blind

She's out of place not out of time
So hold her closer; don't ever let her go.
She's in the race and feeling fine
So know her and show her that you won't let her go.

She's kinda sad but she can't show why.
It's a little tough when your eyes won't cry.
But don't think that she can't cope
She aint like the rest she still has hope.
People pass their judgement here
Thinkin' that she doesn't hear
And all it does it feed her fear
But in the back of her mind
She knows she's doing fine
And that these people are unkind

She's out of place not out of time
So hold her closer; don't ever let her go.
She's in the race and feeling fine
So know her and show her that you won't let her go.
She's out of place not out of time
So hold her closer; don't ever let her go.
She's in the race and feeling fine
So know her and show her that you won't let her go.

Go out of sight and mind
She doesn't need your kind.
Take your attitude;
She needs her fortitude
She's a soul that needs a mate
But don't even hesitate
It's so close but not too late
You know that...

She is out of place not out of time
So hold her closer; don't ever let her go.
She's in the race and feeling fine
So know her and show her that you won't let her go.
She's out of place not out of time
So hold her closer; don't ever let her go.
She's in the race and feeling fine
So know her and show her that you won't let her go.
