I don't know where life will lead me, but I know where I've been. I can't say what life will show me, but I know what I've seen. Tried my hand at love and friendship, but all that is passed and gone. This little boy is moving on.

I've abused myself a lot over the years. But my voice is still intact - really, it's better.

Social justice has always been a part of my inspiration. For example, when the Vietnam War was going on, I wrote a song about that.
