It took so long to make it in America. The year I arrived was a bad year for women singers, the record company told me. So I starved. I lived in a hotel so dreadful I can't even talk about it.
I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman.
I'm still an embryo with a long long way to go.
Three-quarters of the worldโs population doesnโt have enough to eat!
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world.
To this day I get mail from women who say, I went to law school because of your song. But I would hate to think out of the wide spectrum of things I have done in my career, that's all I would be remembered for.
