I See The Dream And I See

I Do Believe That We All Are, Fundamentally, Divided Creatures. Emotions Split From Intellect, Spirit From Flesh And Far Too Often Sexuality Is Disconnected From What We Feel, And Are, As Total Human Beings.

I Survived This Torture Which Left Me Paralyzed For Years. That's What That Night Was All About, Mutilation, More Than Violence Through Sex. I Really Do Feel As Though I Was Psychologically Mutilated That Night And Now I'm Trying To Put The Pieces Back Together Again. Through Love, Not Hatred. And Through My Music. My Strength Has Been To Open Again, To Life, And My Victory Is The Fact That, Despite It All, I Kept Alive My Vulnerability.

Operation Peter Pan Spanned From 1960-62 Whereby Over 14,000 Children Were Sent Away From Their Families In Cuba, Some Never To Reunite Again. Pan Am Flights Took The Children To Miami Fl, 'never-never Land', And The Children Became Known As The 'peter Pans.' I Wrote This Song For My Daughter, And It Is Sung For All The Daughters And Mothers, Fathers And Brothers Who Felt This Pain Of Separation All Because Of Governments And Their Politics.

I'm Not Like A Poker Player. I'm Not Into Bluff. My Way Is To Look Someone In The Eye And Tell Them The Way I'm Intending To Go. My Cards Are Always On The Table.

Sometimes, I Think Trent Just Needs A Cup Of Hot Chocolate And A Blankie.
