growing-up want grows
When I grow up I want to be an old woman.
mistake apology want
If I have something to apologize, I want to be the first one to step up and make that apology. I don't want anyone to broker it for me. I don't want anyone to take the hit for me. If I have anything to apologize for, I'm only human. I'm prone to making mistakes.
differences knowing fit
I resent like hell that I was maybe eighteen before I ever heard the 'L' word. It would have made all the difference for me had I grown up knowing that the reason I didn't fit in was because they hadn't told me there were more categories to fit into.
vantage-point records deals
I'm one of the few that comes from this vantage point: I never tried to get a record deal.
jesus two passionate
I'm passionate about two things: Jesus and liberation.
long secret life-is
The secret to a long life is knowin' when it's time to go.
philosophical circles ran
Their lives ran in circles so small They thought they'd seen it all
jesus prayer mean
I was in a prayer meeting yesterday. You gotta appreciate how scared, how scares folks on that side of the equation are. From their vantage point -- I really shouldnt say their -- cause its mine too, we are nearly at the end of time and from our vantage point, were going to be I think maybe Chinese Water torture is going to be the means the method, once Prop 8 gets instated and once preachers are held at gunpoint and forced to marry the homosexuals, Im pretty sure that that will be the signal for Jesus to come on back.
i-can
I can't tell you where I'm going . . . but I can tell you where I come from.
alive aspects beauty brought citizens common cultural faults generous grace hope humanity knowledge lives miss musical nature order quality repulsive richness seen share transform treasure ugly uplift vast
There is no one like him alive today, ... He was a vast treasure trove and storehouse of musical and cultural knowledge and the richness that he has brought into all of our lives is immeasurable. He was a generous spirit, overlooking faults in order to see the common humanity that we all share and this is the quality that I will miss the most. For a man who has seen some of the most repulsive and ugly aspects of human nature to transform that knowledge into the beauty and grace that he does is an uplift and hope for citizens of the world.

sincere
Yeah, I am a hick. I am naive, and I am sincere and it's wonderfully unfashionable.
