With Each New Day, I'm Learning How

My Mother Was Raised Very, Very Strict Catholic In The Midwest. There Was So Much Fear And Intimidation [in The Faith]. So, Growing Up, I Was Always Looking For My Connection. I've Found Myself Praying Before Meals, Before Bed; There's Always Been This Gratitude For Things That Are Bigger Than Me.

I've Stepped More Into My Womanhood, I'm A Mother Now, I'm Having A Beautiful Relationship As A Wife And As A Friend.

No Matter How Far You Are. No Matter How Long It Takes Him. Through Distance And Time I'll Be Waiting.

I Do Feel Like I Owe Something, But Not To The Industry. When You Say "industry," I Think Of A Group Of People Who Don't Really Care Much About You And Treat You As A Commodity. So, In That Regard, I Don't Feel Like I Owe Anything. But The People Who've Always Been Supportive Of Me And Have Always Seen Me For My Greatest Potential-those Are The People Who I Feel Like I Owe Something To. I Feel Like I Am Their Voice. I Owe It Them To Represent Them In A Way That They Can Be Proud Of.

A Lot Of People, They've Been Saying To Me, Oh Don't Get Married. It Ruins Everything. And I'm Like, Damn.
