I’m beautiful

I’m beautiful

I’m beautiful

I’m beautiful

I’m gorgeous

God is for me, who can be against me

I’m beautiful

I’m a new person now

Beautiful, knowing the secrets and determined with fire to move mountains in all I do. Molding my own world

I’m beautiful

the old me is behind

I will march ahead anew

you give me fever from miles around
ill pick you up in my car and well paint the toown

Love is a feeling,
Give it when I want it,
'Cause I'm on fire,
Quench my desire,
Love is a woman,
I don't want to give in,
Give in to me, give in to me.

Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on.

I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole new world in books. If you can’t afford to travel, you travel mentally through reading. You can see anything and go any place you want to in reading.

Say Say Say
What you want
But don't play games
With my affection
Take take take
What you need
But don't leave me
With no direction

Im giving you
On a count three
Just show your stuff
Or let it be
Im telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about!
Well, they say the sky's the limit,
And to me that's really true,
But, my friend you have seen nothing,
Just wait 'til I get through.

They don't really care about us.

Keep on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough.

When I was a kid, I was denied not only a childhood, but I was denied love. When I reached out to hug my father, he didn't hug me back. When I was scared on an airplane, he didn't put his arm around me and say, "Michael, don't worry. It's going to be OK." When I was scared to go on stage, he said, "get your ass on that stage." … I will never deny a child love. If it means that I have to be crucified or put in jail for it, then that's just what they're going to have to do.
