Make It Turn Out Right



MAKE IT TURN OUT RIGHT

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017


FOG ROUNDS OUT THE MORNING DEW
DISSIPATING LIKE A MIST
YOU STEP OUTSIDE TO GET A BETTER VIEW
JUST AS THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH
YOU'RE COMPELLED TO STOP AND STARE
AT NO ONE AND NOTHING THERE
JUST A GOLDEN GLOW OF A SUMMER MORN
SPIRITS HIGH ARE BORN

LEAD ME ON LET ME FLY, TO A PLACE I KNOW
WHERE ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU'RE THERE
ROCKS AND TREES, MOUNTAINS RIVERS, SAND AND SEAS
PRESERVE, RESERVE, CONSERVE
WATER FLOWING TO THE SEA
WATER ABOVE AND BENEATH ME , MAKE IT TURN OUT RIGHT
TAKE ALL THE MAGIC AROUND YOU, ONLY WITH YOUR EYES
LIKE A SUNSET THAT YOU CAN SEE
STARLIGHT, MOONLIT NIGHT, FALLING ON THE SEA
LIGHTING UP THE COAST, STIRRING UP A BREEZE
LISTEN TO THE WAVES, PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE 

IN THE ARMS OF MOTHER EARTH, EMBRACE YOU
FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE
WORTH WHAT YOU GAVE
CLOUDS GO BY IN A SUNNY SKY
WHY WOULD YOU, WHY WOULD I
LIFE IS DRIFTING LIKE THE TIDE
MOVING AWAY
THE GUARD IS CHANGING, DON'T STAND IN THE WAY

DREAMS GO BY THE DREAMS THAT DIED
YOU CREATE MORE, SET THEM ASIDE 
GET A GLIMPSE OF GLORY IN A DREAM 
AND ALL THE PERILS THAT LIE IN WAIT IN BETWEEN 
ANCIENT THOUGHTS WELL UP FROM TIME
PRESERVATION IN THE LINE
FIGHT OR FLIGHT SIMPLIFIED
YOUR INSTINCTS NEVER LIED 
COME ON LET'S GO OUTSIDE, LOOK AT ALL THE STARS
EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT THEY ARE
BORN TO LIVE, BORN TO DIE
IN BETWEEN WATCH US SURVIVE
ANOTHER SUNSET FORGED IN FIRE
TO THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE WE DESIRE

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Out Here Under The Sky

OUT HERE UNDER THE SKY

WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BY: J.R HILTON


 I WAKE UP TO ANOTHER DAY
NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
THINGS GO THROUGH MY HEAD
AS I THINK EACH ONE THROUGH
CAN'T DO MUCH OR GET TO FAR
THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE

I FIND MYSELF ON COUNTRY ROADS
I STOP TO STAND IN A FIELD
I TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BEAUTY I SEE
CAPTURED TO SEE FOREVER
HAWK ON A FENCE POST 
HORSE ON A FARM
I JUST KEEP DRIVING, I DON'T SEE NO HARM

SHEEP IN A MEADOW, BABBLING BROOK
I HAVE TO STOP TO HAVE A LOOK
PASTORAL QUIET TIMES
I PUT MYSELF IN A STATE OF MIND 
I KEEP COMING BACK HERE TO THE PEACE I FIND 
THE ROOM TO BREATHE AND CLEAR MY HEAD 
OF ALL THE JUNK THAT WEIGHS ME DOWN 
HOLDS ME TO MEDIOCRITY IN A PLACE I DON'T BELONG 

OUT HERE UNDER THE SKY
I COME ALIVE
SURROUNDINGS I MY LENS, IN THE GATHERING LIGHT
HOPE THAT WAS FRAMED JUST RIGHT
CAPTURED FOREVER
IN A CLICK YOU SEE WHAT I SEE
JUST ANOTHER EXTENSION OF ME
CAST IN THE MORNING SUNLIGHT
ON THE EDGE OF A DREAM 
LITTLE PIECES OF THE BEAUTY THAT I'VE SEEN 
AND THE UGLINESS THAT LAYS HIDING SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN 

EMBRACE THE MOOD, CATCH THE DAY
I SEE IT WON'T GET AWAY
PICTURES OF THE BEAUTY THAT I SEE 
AND WHAT MISS I'LL GET THE NEXT TIME AROUND
STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE 
CAMERA IN MY HAND
WIND BLOWING THROUGH MY HAIR
AND PEACE THAT FILLS MY SOUL
YOU'D HAVE TO BE HERE TO REALLY KNOW 
LOOK AT THIS PICTURE
YOU CAN SEE HOW IT ALL GOES
 I FIND MYSELF ON COUNTRY ROADS

Then Summer Turned The Page

 THEN SUMMER TURNED THE PAGE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017



 SHE LIVED IN A LITTLE HOUSE DOWN BY THE RIVER
FIRST TIME I SAW HER
HER BEAUTY TOOK MY BREATH AWAY
SO SMITTEN WAS I, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
SHE WAS LONG AND LEAN
LONG DARK HAIR
PRETTIEST GIRL I'D EVER SEEN 
I ASKED HER OUT, SHE CAME ALONG
WE HAD A LOVELY DAY

THE HOURS I SPENT WITH HER
FINE LIKE SUMMER WINE
ON A PRETTY SUMMER DAY
I HELD HER UNTIL THE SUN WENT DOWN
THEN I HAD TO TAKE HER HOME
A KISS A HUG AND SHE WENT INSIDE
I ONLY SAW HER A FEW MORE TIMES
THEN SUMMER TURNED THE PAGE
AND SHE WAS GONE
SHE MOVED AWAY
  TOOK A LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART THAT DAY
LEFT AN EMPTY SPACE I COULD FEEL

LEAVES TURNED TO FALL
TAKING MY HEART TO ANOTHER LOVE
YOUNG LOVE COMES AND YOUNG LOVE GOES
LIKE THE FOUR WINDS YOU JUST NEVER KNOW
BACK THEN WE WERE STILL NEWLY FREE
BUT WE ALL BELIEVED IN BETTER THINGS TO COME
WAITING AND WATCHING
THE STARS GATHER IN THE SKY
SHE'S RIGHT BESIDE ME, IN MY ARMS

PIECE OF HEAVEN, YOU AND I
WE JUST HAD TO TRY
THIS THING CALLED LOVE ON
WE'VE GOT EVERY CHANCE, BUT WE'LL WAIT AND SEE
WHEN SUMMER TURNS THE PAGE
WHATEVER THIS OLD WORLD BRINGS
 I HOPE THERE'S LOVE

ONE KISS



ONE KISS 

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

IN THE WEST AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
THE NIGHT COMES TO LIFE
NEON AND PEOPLE ON THE STREETS
LOST TO A SUMMER NIGHT
HOLDING OUT FOR SOMETHING 
TO HOLD UP TO THE LIGHT
THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CORNER
A LITTLE PLAIN A LITTLE SHY
PRETTY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING 

EVENINGS GETTING ON
CLOSING IN ON MIDNIGHT
GOOD TIMES ALWAYS GO FAST
NEVER SEEM TO LAST
THE MUSIC PLAYS SOFT AND SLOW
YOU HOLD HER CLOSE, YOU CAN'T LET GO
YOU NEVER WANT THE SONG TO END
DANCING WITH AN ANGEL
HANGING ON HER EVERY WORD
SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS IN HER EYES
WOULD SHE LIKE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO TALK

INTO THE NIGHT, HER HAND IN MINE
ONE KISS AND I FEEL ALL THE LOVE SHE'S BEEN SAVING
SPEND THE NIGHT TALKING, WE CAN'T BREAKAWAY
SOMETHING SWEET DON'T LOSE CONTROL
SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO STAY, BY MY SIDE
FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO BE MINE
SHE'S SWEET RIGHT BESIDE ME
RIGHT FROM INSIDE TO OUT
FEEL LIKE I'M FALLING INTO HER LIFE
I CAN'T CONTROL IT, IT'S JUST SO NICE
I COULD USE THIS IN MY LIFE

IT'S LIKE I KNOW HER FROM A DREAM
THAT I'VE HAD MORE THAN ONCE
MOONLIGHT ON HER HAIR, PERFECT BEAUTY LYING THERE
IMAGINATION COMES TO LIFE
I BELIEVE HER, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE SHE'S HERE
BUT SHE KISSES ME AND MAKES IT CLEAR
ONE DANCE, ONE NIGHT, ONE GIRL THAT GOT IT RIGHT
THEY LED TO MANY MORE
BABY BABY,  MY DREAM COME TO LIFE
KEEP MOVING TOWARDS ME
THE MUSIC PLAYS SOFT AND SLOW
DANCE WITH ME AGAIN, TO REMIND ME HOW I KNOW
TO FEEL YOU IN MY ARMS, IS TO FEEL COMPLETE
LOST TO YOUR BEAUTY, LOST TO A SUMMER NIGHT
ONE KISS I SEE YOUR LIGHT

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Times Were When

Times Were When


TIMES WERE WHEN

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

TIMES WERE WHEN DREAMS MEANT SOMETHING
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD TAKE SOMEONE AT THEIR WORD
AND NOW THAT CONCEPT SEEMS SO ABSURD
SAD BUT TRUE, THIS IS WHAT WE DO
TIMES WERE WHEN  YOU COULD COUNT ON LOVE AND LOYALTY
WHERE HAVE THOSE TIMES AND THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE GONE 
GENERATION OF DEGENERATION

TIMES WERE WHEN THERE WAS LESS CONTROL
WE HAD IDEAS OF OUR OWN
WE PUSHED BACK WHEN SOMEONE SHOVED
WE STOOD OUR GROUND WHEN WE KNEW WE WERE RIGHT
TIMES WERE WHEN FORTUNES FLOWED
LIKE RIVERS TO THE SEA, WHATEVER WE WANTED TO BE
NOW THOSE TIMES SEEM SO FARAWAY FROM HERE
THE DREAM IS ALL BUT GONE, BUT I'M STILL HOLDING ON
MAYBE THERE'S A CHANCE THESE THINGS WILL PASS THIS WAY AGAIN 

TIMES WERE WHEN LOVE FLOWED ALL AROUND ME
GOLDEN FIELDS LYING IN THE SUN 
THAT'S WHERE WE'D RUN TO
FINGERS LOCKED TOGETHER, A GENTLE KISS
YOUR EYES WOULD TELL ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW 
TIMES WERE, THEN I LET YOU GO
INSIDE MY REGRETS I FIND YOU THERE
LOOKING BACK AT ME
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES THEN HAVE TO GO

TIMES WERE WHEN WE RODE THE FOUR WINDS
WE WERE BOLD AND FREE
THEN TIME GETS A HOLD OF US AND SHAKES US LOOSE
LEAVING HAS BECOME THE NORM
LEFT ALONE IN THE STORM
THINK ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH ,AND YOU CAN'T HELP BUT TO BE SAD
TIMES WERE WHEN COMFORT WAS NEVER FARAWAY
TIMES WERE WHEN EVERYBODY WANTED IN
 NOW THEY LOOK AWAY

Near To Heaven



NEAR TO HEAVEN

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

WALKING DOWN THE BEACH
COVERED IN THE SKY 
THE SUN WAS STILL RISING
CLIMBING WAY UP HIGH
WALKING THROUGH THE SAND
FOLLOWING THE TIDE
MILES OF FOOTPRINTS BEHIND ME 
MILES TO GO
TRIPPING ALONG LAYING LOW 

SUN REFLECTS IN POOLS
FROM THE RECEDING TIDE 
CLOUD ILLUSIONS CONFUSE MY EYES 
I CAN HARDLY TELL WHERE THE EARTH MEETS THE SKY 
I KEEP GOING DEEPER INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY
THERE I WAS BENEATH A SUNNY SKY
THE WAVES CRASHING NEARBY
NEAR TO HEAVEN AS I WALK BY


I HAVEN'T SEEN A SOUL
THE SUN IS GETTING LOW
THE SKY TURNS ORANGE AND GOLD
IT JUST GLOWS
MAGIC ALL AROUND, I CARRY ON
STARS BEGIN TO FILL EVERY INCH OF THE SKY
AS I REST WATCHING IT ALL WITH ONE EYE OPEN
SO I DON'T MISS A THING

THE MOON SHINES DOWN ON THE WATER
JUST AS IT'S ALWAYS DONE
AND THE WAVES KEEP COMING TO THE SHORE
LIFE GOES ON, THERE'S ALWAYS MORE 
SQUEEZING EVERY DROP LIKE IT MIGHT BE MY LAST
TURN INTO A PART OF THE PAST

SHOOTING STARS STREAK RIGHT ON BY
I SLEEP THE SLEEP OF A THOUSAND
THAT CAME BEFORE ME, PASSED THIS WAY
HERE COMES ANOTHER DAY
GOLDEN SUN LAUGHING AT THE MORNING
HEATING UP THE AFTERNOON 
I COOL OFF IN THE SEA
BEFORE I SET OFF AGAIN

DEEPER INTO THIS DAY, THIS DREAM, THIS GETAWAY 
THIS MAGIC HAS A WAY OF DIGGING DEEP
GETS RIGHT INTO YOUR SOUL
 YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY EYES
BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS, SWEET SURPRISE
COVERED IN THE SKY
NEAR TO HEAVEN, AS I WALK BY
NEAR TO HEAVEN, UNDER A BLUE SKY
