I checked out the 1st time I heard this song in 2002. Alive or not, Mary gave me permission to scream the same words. Regardless of the calendar you use as a metric, it is 2002 America, for a hopeless Chicago woman bearing my name.

I truly believe people were delivered from oppression through this song. This was not a performance. This was an anointed moment in time. Some years ago I adopted this as my anthem. I went back to school and got my Bachelors Degree and got serious about my business. Thanks Mary for letting God use you.

Congrats on getting your degree. 🎉 This is my theme song, too. Only it's my own mind that creates the drama. Severe anxiety. I'm going to be okay one day soon. God is my guide. Anyway....maybe TMI but everyone has their issues and can relate to Mary's drama or their own.

So you grew up singing. You're the best singer any of your friends know. You won every talent contact you ever entered. You have a cool career, making bank on tour as a background singer for top acts. Then one night you're doing your thing, you're bopping 1960's style to the jam and sounding pretty darn good. Then Mary starts to sing and you question why you got out of bed.
