Go ’round, come ’round, distant time,
Come ’round, oh, distant time,
Come ’round call back the heart,
Come ’round call back the heart

Teach people how to feel,
If I hear that you pine for me,
I will want to return to you,
I will want to return to you

“When you first become an artist, you are like that rock. You are in a raw, natural state with hidden gems inside. You have to dig down deep and find the emeralds tucked away inside you. And that’s just the beginning. Once you’ve found your gems, you have to polish them. It takes a lot of hard work.”
