Wild Horses.. It will bring you to tears..

The song "Who I Was Born To Be brings me to tears just about everytime I hear that one. When you think about her life, how this has all happened for her and that a 25 year old wrote that song just for her.

WHO I WAS BORN TO BE

written by AUDRA MAE

When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
and I heard a song in the breeze
it was there, singing out my name

But I am not a girl
I have known the taste of defeat
and I have finally grown to belive
it will all came around again

Coro:
And though I may not
know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions
led me here,then
I am who I was born to be

And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I've got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly

repit coro
When I was a child
there were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark

repit coro
and ends: I am who I was born to be
I am who I was born to be.

For Christmas I received Susan's CD. She is an honest forthright lady. I love her voice & the great songs she sings. Long Live & Sing To Us Susan!

I think Oprah should have had more Susan and less Adam!!!

I was sitting here with LES listening to her perform - she just moves me.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble with her accent? I miss so much of what she says when she talks. And why is it that when she (or anyone else with a foreign accent) sings, you can't detect any accent? That has always puzzled me.

pomtzu, she effects a lot of people like that. I cried the first 4 times I watched the video of her singing with Elaine Page and saw her sing Who I Was Born To Be, Wild Horses, I Dreamed a Dream, and so on. There is something about her that just moves people, touching them bringing out so much joy that your eyes just leak! LOL!

Yes, a lot of people have trouble understanding her, I have trouble understanding anybody that talks fast and she can talk fast! I think her accent is adoreable though..

Have you heard her sing this one? It was on her Japan I Dream a Dream ablum only... Give Me Wings To Fly is a popular Japanese song that was written back in the Seventies. Japanese fans requested Susan to record the song for the Japanese release of her CD.
