    You know this song is IT when you work in a level 2 hospital and your patient has suffered a traumatic brain injury and cant even hold a conversation with you but when he heard this song he was able to actually speak a few words to this song and sway his body to the rhythm of the beat.
    Mary is a deep sister and her music is truly therapeutic on so many levels!

      Hey…don’t be like that. Everyone has their struggles, and not 100% of hurt comes from experience. 15 years is plenty of time to have suffered, and even if not, some brains are just wired to be depressed. Its real. Its not a race or a comparison, thats what Mary illustrates here. ALL women, of all ages, races, creeds, backgrounds, economies, have these same struggles, and more often than not our stories interweave. NEVER lessen or compare your strains in life, your job is only to recognize, repair, and repossess your OWN LIFE and the rest will come. Take YOURSELF as you are. Wishing you the best! Love Syracuse NY. NYStrong.

    I like how every version of Mary has that "grass is greener" mentality. The Waitress wants the Magazine Editors life. The Magazine Editor wants the Supermodel's life. Only to find out that Supermodel Mary doesnt even want her own life. Sometimes, the more "glamourous" a persons life is, the more unhappy they are. The supermodels can be jealous of the waitresses in real life. Love this message.

    The pressure of being a woman is strong.
    Having to stay on top of appearance before another woman steals the spot light. It's hard... Especially if your man doesn't make you feel good enough. But at the end of it all, as woman we must except our individual greatness. We have the gift to bare children. The gift to make a place into a home. Ingredients into food. Money into greater things. Remember men.... Just as you see there's better looking woman then the one you have at home... There are better looking men out there waiting to treat your woman right!

    She's been down and out
    She's been wrote about
    She's been talked about constantly
    She's been up and down
    She's been pushed around
    But they held her down, NYC
    She has no regrets
    She accepts the past
    All these things they
    Helped make to make she
    She's been lost and found
    And she's still around
    There's a reason for everything
    You know I've been holdin' on
    Try to make me weak
    But I still stay strong
    Put my life all up in these songs
    Just so you can feel me
    So you can get the real me
    So take me as I am
    Or have nothing at all (nothing at all)
    Just take me as I am
    Or have nothing at all (at all)
    Now she's older now
    Yes, she's wiser now
    Can't disguise her now
    She don't need
    No one tellin' her
    What to do and say
    No one tellin' her
    Who to be
    She's on solid ground
    She's been lost and found
    Now she answers to G-O-D
    And she's confident
    This is not the end
    Ask me how I know
    'Cause she is me
    You know I've been holdin' on
    Try to make me weak
    But I still stay strong
    Put my life all up in these songs
    Just so you can feel me
    So you can get the real me
    So take me as I am
    Or have nothing at all (nothing at all)
    Just take me as I am
    Or have nothing at all (at all)
    So it's all or nothing at all
    All or nothing at all
    Don't you know I can only be me
    (I can only be me, yeah)
    So it's all or nothing at all
    All or nothing at all
    Don't you know I can only be me
    (I can only be me, yeah)
    So take me as I am
    Or have nothing at all (nothing at all)
    Just take me as I am
    Or have nothing at all (at all)
    This is me!

      You ladies must thank God doesn't have standards!! You must think God doesn't have rules and requirements. You want him to be your healer and you're a deliverer but you don't want him to be your Lord. God is love, but God is also holy. Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments. He's not the author of confusion but of peace. So if your life is chaotic, if you're out of order, then God is not in that.
