Debra's Personal Info

Debra Kay Patrick
I was born January 12th. 1963, in Columabas Kansas. Raised in a large family of 4 brothers and 4 sisters, we traveled all over the United States till we settled down in a small town out west.Born into a large family of nine, there was a lot of talent in the family. Although they were a poor family and could not afford musical instruments or training, Debra learned to use her God given talents in ways in which would one day bring her into the music industry. Her love for writing took her down a road to inspiring poetry. From there to A&R Manager for Simmons Road Enterprises, and onto Distant Future Entertainment, where she has come from the past in the music industry to help other striving artist to succeed their full potential. The majority of time is spent doing things that not many others do anymore, and that is to believe and help others.
She grew up with many hardships in life, but never gave up on faith and hope that her dreams one day would come true. But as you will find, the hardships she faced gave her more insight to write.

When she was in the forth grade, she helped write a play for her home town school out west and not only played in the play she sang in it., where all the proceeds were donated to the school to help less fortunate children out with there musical talents.
She married at the age of 18, divorced at the age of 23 and with being married and raising 3 sons, she continued her writing, hoping one day to put her words into music to share with others. She achieve to become the outstanding poet of the year through Famous poets Society in 1998.
At the age of 28 she went on too working and saving her money to continue her dream, to be a songwriter. Her real love is in her writing. She worked and saved till the age of 35, now she is going places. In June of 1999, she took a trip to Nashville to start her first recording.
Today she lives in St.Petersburg, Florida where she continues to help artist, while finally learning to play her guitar and yes, her voice lessons.
With her boys almost grown, she is looking forward to going all out to create her childhood dream.
The Roots
You may have children you treasure
You love with all your heart
Along beside you through each day
And all through out life
Some may be filled with sorrow
From which they cannot flee
Running through the shadows
For a path they cannot see
Chorus
Just as a rose needs sunshine
To nourish it?s tender shoots
So, each of us needs love to grow
Beginning at the roots
( Spoken Words )
Daddy always said
You must learn how to give
Before you earn the right to take
Who doesn't mold their vase just right
It?s mighty apt to break
They may have had many pleasures
With a lot of faded dreams
Holding tarnished treasures
That are wearing at the seams
Walking down a lonely road
Of a bunch of wasted years
Grasping dreams they cannot reach
And drowning in their tears
Chorus

Intro
Chorus
Can't Sleep At Night
I glance at you a short distance away, feeling the warmth within the haze.
I know this love is special, but there is a sadness I feel between you and I.
The fights, bickering and mean things we say, may never be left alone; oh what a shame.
Chorus:
Oh ohhhh I can?t sleep at night, the sheets getting twisted all through the night
I toss and turn as I dream of you, with scars on my heart and pictures in my mind,
No darn wonder I can?t sleep at night?.
I continue to hope and pray that it works, only to find a wall that we have built.
Constructed of such feeling as hatred and guilt, with this hedge we have around us,
And our hearts growing numb, it seems that our pride has served the love of one.
Oh why can?t we put our pride aside, and with all honesty, just maybe our love and trust can abide,
Letting the walls crumble and setting the pain free.
Bridge:
Oh Baby, please hear what I say, it will take understanding, patience and love
So we can end this nightmare that is killing us, for among two great people,
Honey, not just one, I am thinking of you and I.
Pain we feel within ourselves may be so deceiving, but it is all so real,
Continuing to love but at time we feel hate, confusing to whom is within this haze,
Searching and hoping to find the answers I pray
Chorus:
Oh ohhh I can?t sleep at night, the sheets getting twisted all through the night
I toss and I turn as I dream of you, with scars on my heart and pictures in my mind,
No darn wonder I can?t sleep at night.
No darn wonder I can?t sleep at night.
I glance at you a short distance away, feeling the warmth within the haze.
I know this love is special, but there is a sadness I feel between you and I.
The fights, bickering and mean things we say, may never be left alone; oh what a shame.
Chorus:
Oh ohhhh I can?t sleep at night, the sheets getting twisted all through the night
I toss and turn as I dream of you, with scars on my heart and pictures in my mind,
No darn wonder I can?t sleep at night?.
I continue to hope and pray that it works, only to find a wall that we have built.
Constructed of such feeling as hatred and guilt, with this hedge we have around us,
And our hearts growing numb, it seems that our pride has served the love of one.
Oh why can?t we put our pride aside, and with all honesty, just maybe our love and trust can abide,
Letting the walls crumble and setting the pain free.
