You know the one with the big ears? wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president. you know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song - she's gonna get her a- whipped. the great beyoncé but i can't stand beyoncé. she has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day singing my song that i've been singing forever.
Song Waiting Forever
Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.
Beautiful Jobs Voice
The world doesn’t need more people playing small. it’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. it’s time to stop needing and start leading. it’s time to start sharing your gifts instead of hoarding them or pretending they don’t exist. it’s time you started playing the game of life in a “big” way.
Games People Hoarding
I read a comment that made me think i should stop singing for a while. and i didn't want to stop singing, because it was the only thing i loved. at first i thought, "maybe i'll get better and eventually please the person who wrote about my singing." but then i thought, "i probably will never please this person. i should just do what pleases me."
Thinking Please Me Singing
Somebody/ anybody sing a black girl's song bring her out to know herself to know you but sing her rhythms carin/ struggle/ hard times sing her song of life she's been dead so long closed in silence so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice her infinite beauty she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/ no tune sing her sighs sing the song of her possibilities sing a righteous gospel let her be born let her be born & handled warmly.

The blues? why, the blues are a part of me. they're like a chant. the blues are like spirituals, almost sacred. when we sing blues, we're singing out our hearts, we're singing out our feelings. maybe we're hurt and just can't answer back, then we sing or maybe even hum the blues. when i sing, 'i walk the floor, wring my hands and cry -- yes, i walk the floor, wring my hands and cry,'... what i'm doing is letting my soul out.
