I’ve sung this song many times but never performed it. It comes from Godspel, and one summer when I was in high school, my mother hoped I would sing it in a production of this musical. After a busy schoolyear, the last thing I wanted to do was be in another play. But, over the years, I’d learned that when Mother wanted me to do something, it was best just to go along with it.

Oh yes, I told my mother I didn’t want to perform, that I wanted to take the summer off, but she insisted. Several years later, though, when I was in college, and my mother wanted me to perform in another local musical production, I asserted myself.
