love war fighting
Sometimes you are forced to defend your beliefs. Sometimes you are forced to look at relationships that aren't positive anymore. There are times when I have had to make peace with the fact that I am at war. And sometimes you have to fight those who do not want love to conquer all.
inspiration surprise
Inspiration quite frequently arrives as a surprise. The key is being open to it.
survivor want bitter
Though I can't change what happened, I can choose how to react. And I don't want to spend the rest of my life being bitter and locked up.
pads lilies fairy
We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.
our-world people enough
Our world is a huge mess right now, and not big enough for masses of intolerant people.
track creative empowering
If you can surrender your protection devices, in order to track the potentially raw and perhaps elusive emotions that are the song's DNA, then that is creative vulnerability, which is ultimately hugely empowering.
people sacred locks
Many people lock a part of themselves away. It's a bit sacred.
song grateful two
I've always seen the songs as having a consciousness. Since I was two-and-a-half they would come to me from nowhere. I never thought that I was conjuring them by myself, and I was always grateful they would come and visit... They've always been very much alive. They don't have a physical body like we do but there seems to be an awareness.
father rocks house
My father was a minister and so rock music was banned in our house.
laughter mean people
There are quite a few very funny people in my life. You know those people who don't mean to be funny, they just come out with these zingers that just make you howl with laughter. Usually you find these people in the road crew. A good crew is a key to a healthy funny bone.
guilt enough my-own
I've got enough guilt to start my own religion.
matter strange hard
There is value in everybody's gift. No matter how hard to find or strange it is.
way
The only way out is to go so far in...
believe light color
I believe in rainbows and all of that. But there are darker colors and it's the shade that defines the light.
