If I Want To Take

I Try To Swim Every Damn Day I Can, And I've Learned To Scuba Dive And Snorkel.

I Was Reared In The Church From The Age Of Three. I've Played Piano Since I Was Three. I Performed At Revivals And For My People Around North Carolina For Several Years. People Around Town Collected Money To Send Me To School.

When I Choose Material For An Album All These Songs I Grew Up With Pour Into My Head.

Birds Flying High You Know How I Feel Sun In The Sky You Know How I Feel Breeze Driftin' On By You Know How I Feel And This Old World Is A New World And A Bold World For Me And I'm Feeling Good I'm Feeling Good

I Made Wine From The Lilac Tree/put My Heart In Its Recipe/it Makes Me See What I Want To See/and Be What I Want To Be
