Lyrics

Take It Back
Words/music Frank Pietrantoni © 2002
Dan Humphrey (Vocals)

I've seen people fighting off the face of sorrow
And I relate to that;
Circumstances beyond control,
But that's what it's all about.
And sweet young things; just innocent beings
Disappear in the blink of an eye.
Without a trace; our angels are placed
In darker times.
And now I know I'll never feel their sorrow.
And now I know I'll always feel that tomorrow
Is just a day I wish to..

Take back
And never give away.
Take back
And never have to say
I'd take it back
And never say I'm sorry
For just blinking an eye.

I've seen the faces robbed of tomorrow.
And I relate to that.
Any beings that do that these things
Are beings to be cast out.
But our sweet young things with their innocent wings
Will fly... and fly again
No trace and no disgrace;
It never ends.
And now I know I'll never feel their sorrow.
And now I know I'll always feel that tomorrow
Is just the day I wish to..

Take back
And never give away.
Take back
And never have to say
I'd take it back
And never say I'm sorry
For just blinking an eye.
Take back
And never give away.
Take back
And never have to say
I'd take it back
And never say I'm sorry
For just blinking an eye.

There's sick mother fuckers
Out there stalkin' our young ones for their fun and games.
And their names don't mean a thing
For what they want and what they bring to this world.
They're a disgrace and they're waste;
And they're scum and they should be hung
And left to rot and soon forgot.
Now I know why I feel so much sorrow.
Now I know I'll never see tomorrow.

-Chorus out-

Nice song. Cool synth sounds and vibe. Interesting and rhythmic percussion. Cool transitions from verse to chorus and back. Good arrangement.

Great passion and a great haunting and memorable melody for a vitally important story that must be told. Instrumentation with soft backgrounds, punchy percussion, firm and elegant vocals, are all performed perfectly. The wailing background at 3/4 with the brief angry rap is passionately balanced on a musical tightrope and makes it across tastefully. It is engaging all the way through. This song is perfectly done!
