I Never Heard Nobody In My Audience

It Was A Way Out Of Poverty. It Was A Way To Success. It Was A Way To Education. And It Was A Way To A Brighter Day For Me.

I Don't Think A Woman Has To Act Like A Man To Show That She Has Strength.

Like, My Mother Would Have Company Over, And I Would Sing So They'd Pay Attention To Me.

I Was Really Kind Of Shy As A Child. But I Would Do Things For Attention.

I Try To Be A Guide For People, To Make Their Darkness Bright And To Make The Pathway Light, And Never To Condemn Or Control Or Criticize.
