LYRICS BY JENNIFER HOLLIDAY
I AM CHANGING, TRYING EVERY WAY I CAN
I AM CHANGING, I’LL BE BETTER THAN I AM
I’M TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO UNDERSTAND
BUT I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, I NEED A HAND.
*****************************************************
ALL MY LIFE, I’VE BEEN A FOOL.
WHO SAID I CAN DO IT ALL ALONE.
HOW MANY GOOD FRIENDS HAVE I
ALREADY LOST?
AND HOW MAMY DARK NIGHTS HAVE I KNOWN?
WALKING DOWN THAT WRONG ROAD, THERE
WAS NOTHING I COULD FIND
ALL THOSE YEARS OF DARKNESS CAN MAKE A
PERSON BLIND
BUT NOW I CAN SEE……….
*******************************************************************
I AM CHANGING TRYING EVERY WAY I CAN.
I AM CHANGING, I’LL BE BETTER THAN I AM.
BUT I NEED A FRIEND TO HELP ME START ALL
OVER AGAIN.
*************************************************************
OH THAT WOULD BE JUST FINE
I KNOW IT’S GONNA WORK OUT THIS TIME
CUZ THIS TIME I AM ….THIS TIME I….. AM
NOTHINGS GONNA STOP ME NOW!!!!!
**********************************************************
THESE WORDS RESONATE IN MY BRAIN AS DAILY I DISCOVER
SOME NEW AREA OF MYSELF NEWLY FOUND.
TAKING ART CLASSES, SHARING THE EXHIBIT HALL WITH
WONDERFUL ARTSIE FRIENDS, ENCOURAGEMENT FROM
JAY AND MENTORS, ARE SLOWLY HELPING ME TO FIND
MY REAL IDENTY AS AN ARTIST AND A HUMAN BEING.
THE MANY YEARS OF DRAWING, PAINTING, SCULPTING, ETC,
ETC. HAVE BROUGHT ME TO THE POINT OF A NEW SELF
DISCOVERY THAT I NEVER DREAMT I COULD ACHIEVE.
I HAVE JOINED INSTAGRAM AND HAVE DISCOVERED A WORLD
OUTSIDE OF MY IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY OF FRIENDS AND
FAMILY THAT ENCOURAGE MY WORK…..IT IS SO EXCITING.
INSTRUCTORS IN THE ENCORE PROGRAM AT PIERCE AS WELL
AS THE PRIMARY TEACHERS SO MANY YEARS PAST HAVE
ALWAYS SEEN SOMETHING IN ME THAT I MY DREAMS I MIGHT
HAVE THOUGHT POSSIBLE BUT THEIR CONFIRMATION HARDLY
ACCEPTABLE TO ME HAS FINALLY SUNK IN.
I CAN DO ANYTHING IN ART THAT I PUT MY MIND TO AND I
AM………I AM.
A NEW ME IS EMERGING, NOT NECESSARILY BEAUTIFUL, BUT
REAL….IT IS ME………
I HAVE ARRIVED……I AM……..I AM
