I carried this incredible poem around in my purse for months, while trying to contact Dr. Maya Angelou to get her permission to put it to music. One day she showed up -- serendipitously - at a taping of the Dini Petty show that I was also on. When I told her I wanted to set the poem to music, she said she had always wanted it to be a song, and gave me permission on the spot. Not only was I thrilled to be able to sing out her inspiring words of self- affirmation night after night, I learned a very valuable lesson about intention. I passionately believed the poem should be a song, and the universe heard me and responded. I encourage anyone who has a dream, no matter how out of reach it seems, to keep it in your purse - keep it close to your heart. Travellers who undertake a journey for the right reasons, are always helped by invisible hands.

  • Awesome! Amy, you totally rock! I love Maya Angelou. I love the first version of this song where Olivia Newton-John is singing on it. Amy, you and Olivia are two amazingly gifted singers - the two you together is a masterpeice in the making. Absolutely!

  • Crazy that an italian told me about this song when talking about poets. Maya Angelou words! This is a canadian country singer. Pretty awesome!

  • I have a dream that seems so out of reach, many call it impossible. Impossible is a word that does not exist in my vocabulary. We are what we think about. Thoughts become things. Visualization is the key. NOTHING is impossible. That right there is double negative that REALLY says: EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

  • Listening to this song makes me feel silly for being so wrapped up in physical beauty. You become beautiful when you feel beautiful. A lot of women these days have forgotten that.

  • Years ago I was privileged to have been one of those singers gathered in David Tyson's living room in L.A. around his beautiful white Oberheim grand piano listening to you spill your heart out over songs that had not yet been recorded (or released). To this very day you are Canada's missing link, one of the most underrated singers of our time.

    Much luck & love to you and yours!
