If you start sweet, then you've got somewhere to go.

Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.

I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel. I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you.
