If the world's a veil of tears Smile till rainbows span it.
In junior high school I was an object of pure ridicule for my dress...
My friends and family especially my mom and dad are always saying I should...
Beautiful isle of the sea Smile on the brow of the waters.
When Fortune smiles I smile to think how quickly she will frown.
I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!
