But The Deep Desire For

As An Artist I Come To Sing, But As A Citizen, I Will Always Speak For Peace, And No One Can Silence Me In This.

My Father Was A Slave And My People Died To Build This Country And I Am Going To Stay Here And Have A Part Of It Just Like You.

The Talents Of An Artist, Small Or Large, Are God-given... They Are A Sacred Trust.

The Faces And The Tactics Of The Leaders May Change Every Four Years, Or Two, Or One, But The People Go On Forever.

Through My Singing And Acting And Speaking, I Want To Make Freedom Ring. Maybe I Can Touch People's Hearts Better Than I Can Their Minds, With The Common Struggle Of The Common Man.
