And I hope you find it, what your looking for, and I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be and so much more.

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road.

Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin. Now, they are so subtle, they can milk you with two notes. They can make you feel like they told you the whole universe. But I don't know that yet. All I got now is strength. Maybe if I keep singing, maybe I'll get it.

It's my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album's price point is. I hope they don't underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.

I close my eyes and I can see a better day. I close my eyes and pray.

So next time you feel like your world is about to end, I hope you studied because He's testing your faith again.
