Interlude 1 - Live

I'll tell you, um
 Every single one of these songs, um, is about me first
 Me first, um, it was like, you know
 There was a period of time where I was just out
 You know, just, just gone from the public, and, uh
 I came to terms with the fact that
 I had created this, uh, public persona, this public illusion
 And it became, it, it held me hostage
 Like I couldn't be a real person because
 You're too afraid of, you know
 Of, of what your, your public will say
 And at that point I just, I had to do some dying
 And really accept the fact that, look
 This is who I am, and I have to be who I am
 And all of us have a right to be who we are
 And whenever we submit our will
 Because our will is a gift, it's, it's given to us
 Whenever we submit our will
 To someone else's opinion, you know
 I mean, a part of us dies
 You know, and so it's been, um... it's been
 It actually hasn't been a long time
 It feels like a long time
 But it hasn't been a long time
 Some miraculous things have happened
 In a, in a short amount of time, and uh
 I'm just very blessed to be able to be here today
 And to share with you some of the things I've learned
 I know some of it sounds almost cryptic
 And I been really, you know, just, just really, uh
 Waiting for the, the patience
 And, and really just articulate where I'm coming from
 As simply as possible, so I'm working on that
 But um, you know, I know
 That you know that there's, uh
 You know I, I know that, that God doesn't lie
 And I know that He knows how to talk
 To the hearts of people better than anybody else
 So I don't worry about that
 'Cause whatever He relates to whomever is listening
 That's what supposed to be understood at that time
 So it's all good
 But, um, this is a song called "Oh Jerusalem"
