"This is my redemption song... There are days when I feel unworthy, inferior, and insecure. On a day I felt this way, I wrote this song to help get me out of my funk. I wanted to respond to those negative feelings with an inspirational message.
I hope this song helps others realize that they are worthy of positive change, too. Despite our past mistakes, we always have the potential to rise above. Keep looking up!"

GLORY BOUND
Copyright December 28, 2020 Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms
Whenever I try, I try too hard
Whenever I fight, I leave with scars
Whatever I do, it’s never enough
Hmm, to win your trust (yeah)
I thought I could fly inside my dreams
Could be anything if I believed (If I believed)
My mama would pray I’d find my way
Ooh, before it’s too late (yeah)
As I’m lying here
Bringing down my worth
I know I should fight the fear
And face the truth that hurts
I let myself down (yeah, yeah)
No going back now (no, no, no)
Try to find forgiveness (ooh)
Carry on with my business
Do better than yesterday (oh Lord)
Find the strength to carry the weight
And turn myself around
Now, I’m glory bound
Hmm, yeah yeah... (la da da da)
Whatever I think, it’s probably wrong (hmm)
Whenever I speak, I sing a sad song (ooh)
However I feel, it’s all in my head
Hmm, and all my thoughts should all be second guessed (ooh)
As I’m lying here
Bringing down my worth
I know I should fight the fear
And face the truth that hurts
I let myself down (oh no)
No going back now (no, no, no)
Try to find forgiveness (oh please forgive me)
Carry on with my business (yeah)
Do better than yesterday (ooh)
Find the strength to carry the weight
And turn myself around
Now, I’m glory bound
Hmm, yeah yeah
I’m glory bound (yea yea yeah)
And as I’m lying here
I finally see my worth
And I’m going to fight the fear
And face the truth that hurts
I won’t let myself down
I’m not going back now
I’ll try to find forgiveness (ooh)
Carry on with my business
Do better than yesterday
Find the strength to carry the weight
And turn myself around
Now, I’m glory bound (ooh, yeah)
(Da da da...)
Yeah, I’m glory bound, yeah (da da, da...)
(Ooh) I’m glory bound, yeah, hm....

Because she’s the best musician I know! I know her dad, who in my opinion was the best musician I knew until Abbie came along. If you know music she’s by far the most wonderful musician around. You need to hear her music.you will not be disappointed. uncleguy
