I Believe That Children Are Our Future

When The Night Falls, My Lonely Heart Calls.

Let The Children's Laughter Remind Us How We Used To Be.

Being Around People Like Aretha Franklin And Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick And Roberta Flack, All These Greats, I Was Taught To Listen And Observe.

I Feel So Blessed To Just Have Done What I Had Done. To Be Able To Just Use What God Has Given Me Is A Blessing. You Know, Never Mind The Grammys, Never Mind The Records, Never Mind All Of That. Just To Be Able To Sing.

I Don't Like It When They [media Critics] See Me As This Little Person Who Doesn't Know What To Do With Herself -- Like I Have No Idea What I Want, Like I'm Just A Puppet ... That's Demeaning To Me, Because That Ain't How It Is, And It Never Was.
