From the recording Just Ochi
Originally written for Diane Reeves I quickly realized that this song was not just about Ms. Reeves life but mine also. We had similarities. The words are so profound.
Lyrics
People have tried to time me tried to rearrange and change me
they didn't know who I am, didn't care who I am, didn't give a Tinkers dam
Oh the utterance of my soul is when my spirit takes control and colors me free, myself I must be in order to be me myself must be free.
