Lyrics

I have a voice
Listen to my voice
In this world, you have a choice
Choose to hear my voice
Choose to hear my voice.

I have power deep inside
Through eons and eras, undenied
Listen, learn, feel my strength
Feel the depth through your life's length
I have a voice

I have a voice
Listen to my voice
In this world, you have a choice
Choose to hear my voice
Choose to hear my voice.

No one can harm me
Nor can they disarm me
Past and present, I am whole
I create my life's role
I have a voice

I have a voice
Listen to my voice
In this world, you have a choice
Choose to hear my voice
Choose to hear my voice.

Hear me, hear me, hear me...

	So strong... A reaffirming, torchy song. I love the contrast between the strong lead vocals and the quieter more restrained BVs. This is a great, big, tear-welling, arm-waving, lighter- holding emotional song and I'm very impressed. Congrats. Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

	So strong... I'm piggy-backing off mando because I agree with what he said. There is something very touching about this piece Joanna. Songs like this one are why I keep coming back to this site (plus I'm addicted, but that's another story, one that perhaps mando can tell in a future Observer piece.) 8-7-8-8 --- . Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

	So strong... Thank you, Tom! I had my doubts about it because I feared the message would be misunderstood. To my delight, that appears not to be the case at all. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	So strong... Thank you, Mando! And thank you for the pep talk when I wondered if I should post this or not. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	And what a voice it is! :) Great to hear you branching out and trying new things, Joanna. (But look who's saying that, lol) I like the easy-going, almost 'gospel' vibe going on here in this song. And you're singing 'ooohs!' What's next...ahhhhhs? Cool! :) Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

	And what a voice it is! Thank you, Mystie! It does have a bit of a gospel flavor. Actually, one way to interpret the lyrics could be that it's the voice of God, though in my mind it's about taking back and acknowledging your own individual power. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Empowering What a great, empowering, affirming song, Joanna! I love the lyrics, the music and your voice. It supports all of us in our quest to stand firm, unafraid, in who we are.

	Strong Voice Joanna your voice is very strong here and draws the listener in. I hear a gospel, Carol King kind of thing going on here. An anthemic ride on the positive side of life. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

alley-oop	alley-oop said 1598 days ago (July 11th, 2005)
	Empowering�� What an uplifting song. Very moving and motivating. Very soothing. You ARE strong. Confident vocals. I especialy like the humming you do and all the different octaves you sing in. A great, positive song to help set my head straight. Thanks Joanna, you're the best! Check out my latest song called anymore

	Hey Joanna This is great, a new direction for your vocals.. I like it. Great lyrics. I like the Backing vox too. I would like to hear this fattened up a bit with some more instrumentation to support your wonderful voice. Nice one Joanna. D/L Slimmie Check out my latest song called Not Enough
