Music's in my heart I can't deny I wake up everyday to hear the high You can't take away my singing days Living on a string but I won't change One of the greatest joys of my life has been my relationship with music. I don't think I would have as complete as life as I could have, without music. Whenever I have needed solace and comfort, a song is never far away. Being able to sit at a piano and just take myself somewhere far away while playing has always been great for me. When I think about all of the times that having the gift of music has done, I can't be thankful or grateful enough for it. Music is so embedded in my heart, that I find it easier to communicate to people through it. Most of the time you might find yourself living on a string too, but if you know yourself well enough and you are willing to grow, then change will not seem so much like a threat. Everybody's working hard with the 9 to 5 But I just want good music in my life I can't make it ...

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

  I'll wait for you to fall in love I'll hold myself only for you You know I will baby hmmm Along the way I'll try my hand in love In hopes that we'll one day bring that unity The one that feels natural and true Like an olden day movie Not pretentious both interests agree That we belong in love as a power I'll give to stay you Relationships are hard ships to navigate when the people in them are not wanting to head in the same direction. Is somebody waiting for you to fall in love with them? Maybe it is a former flame who is trying to convince you that they will do all the right things by you, and they know you haven't received. Have you been guilty of falling in love before the other person has had a chance to figure out their feelings for you? Being able to know for sure that someone is already all in, or that someone is waiting for your love can only happen when you are both honest and upfront about your needs in the relationship. You might need to take a deto...

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...

  It's simple I love it, having you near me, having you here Our conversations, outrageous You smile, and I smile then I say Boo, this getting personal, personal, personal Let's stay for a while and play Girl let's make this a moment Sometimes you can't really tell how much of an effect or impact you have on somebody unless they tell you. Sometimes you have to push quite hard so that they can tell you what is really on their mind. You can never really tell who wants to have you near them, who needs to have you there. Conversations may become stilted over time, or not become as free flowing as they used to be. Trying really hard to manage your own emotions while catering for someone else is challenging, particularly when things start to get personal really quickly without warning. Who are you prepared to make moments with? Giving you the best of me, amazing lady, amazing baby Having you close to me, amazing outrageous Give your best to me You may struggle to believe if y...

I've still got a lot to learn But at least I know where I can turn When I'm in my times of need Just as long (as I know all things are possible) Just as long as I believe When you think you know everything there is to know, you don't know anything at all. It can be difficult to come to that realisation, because you will have to learn it the hard way. When have you lost confidence in yourself? Where have you been able to turn to get support in your times of need? We must never lose sight of what is possible, especially when we can never see an end in sight. When we lose faith in ourselves, in humanity, what do we have left? We need to keep believing that good things will come our way, that the right people will be installed into our lives for the better, that we learn to master our weaknesses by transforming them into strengths. What will it take for you to believe again? I've loved a lot, hurt a lot Been burned a lot in my life and times Spent precious years wrapped up ...
