Linda Perry

While watching yday of Dolly Parton Here I am on Netflix  , I learnt about Linda Perry . I was impressed the way she spoke . Today I watched her documentary ‘ behind the  music ‘ .

What a life she had.

She was abused from the age of 5 . This song she wrote and sang when she was 25.

I can easily feel her pain through her words 

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should

That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

"What's going on?"

And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

Oh, oh ooh, ooh, uh-huh

Oh, oh ooh, ooh, uh-huh

And I try, oh my God do I try

I try all the time, in this institution

And I pray, oh my God do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying bed

Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

"What's going on?"

And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"

Hey-ey-ey

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey"

Hey-ey-yeah-yeah-yeah

I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

Oh, oh ooh, ooh, uh-huh

Twenty-five years and my life is still

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination
