I'm more of a songwriter than a performer...it's the creative writing process I love. This is a collection of basement song demos I've assembled over the past few years. Most are pretty simple & straightforward, usually a couple of acoustic guitar tracks and vocal. I'll be adding songs as time allows. They tend to be family or nature-oriented, and focus on parenting, family life and related foibles. Hope you're into it. Also, I do commercial voice overs. If you're in need of a smooth baritone voice with distinctive tone and balance, I'd be yer guy. ;-) You can find me online at VoicesOnCall.com & Voice123.com. I'm also a freelance advertising/marketing copywriter, broadcast producer and strategist. Stop by my www.timperrycreative.com if you're so inclined! and Audio Production for Any Size Project

Lyrics

Verse 1:
There was something always missing
In a life that seemed so full
An emptiness well hidden, but so large.
She kept it under cover.
Carefully concealed.
Till the day it overwhelmed her and took charge.

Chorus 1:
She didn’t know how or where,
She could show she cares
Just had find out what her life was for
She’s a little scared.
And maybe unprepared.
Looking for some peace….
To the core.

Verse 2:
The deep and crushing poverty 
The wilds of Paraguay
People clinging to their very lives.
So she joined in with some others
Who just couldn’t turn away
While the rest of the world stood idly by.

Chorus 2:
Now she knows just how and where,
She can show she cares
Figured out what her life was for
Still a little scared.
But with a heart prepared
Went looking for her peace….
In the Corp.

Bridge:
Late at night she lets back in those memories of home
Easy chairs and no despair, the life she’s come to know.
It’s certain that she’ll miss it, but no one ever sees
Her words fall soft as sunshine, but there’s thunder in her deeds.

Chorus 3:
Now she knows just how and where,
She can show she cares
Figured out what her love was for
She’s no longer scared.
Got a heart fully prepared
Finally found her peace….
In the Corp.
