01:30 and then we got a deal and I moved away,
01:32 so I never got a chance to really sing in the choir.

02:38 because she sings at a jazz club and she has a child,

02:45 the music that I sing, I have to go through.
02:47 Sometimes people don't want to acknowledge your Christianity,
02:51 or they want to say that, you know,
