Forgiveness' Embrace ALISON JIEAR

[@joelarama]

Wow..Alison really trulely is a STAR! Fab voice and such a beautiful Stephen Shwartz song. HOORAH!!

[@kotch07]

Wow. I just discovered her today and her voice and clarity with the lyrics is incredible. Love her!

[@aavauxhall]

I find it really weird these people who feel the need to offer a self important critique. Can't you just enjoy a wonderful muscian and vocalist singing a beautfully written song and singing it the only way her heart can. Beautiful......

[@JerkyPuck]

I have the same feeling about seeing her as I do when I first saw Linda Eder live. I just bawled when she opened her mouth. It is so amazing that God puts such beautiful instruments inside of us and Alison knows exactly what to do with hers. What instincts she has! I am floored.

Stephen Schwartz singing this song is stunning... I couldn't agree more. I adore his voice. Ali :-)

I was presence last night when Stephen Schwartz sang this song backed by Vocal Minority at a concert featuring the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. World Premiere of Testimony, a song he wrote with lyrics from the "It Gets Better Project" for SFGMC. AMAZING

[@evarain1]

Wow, I love Ali's voice!! Absolutely beautiful.

[@xlxfjh]

I have served a full life sentence as a prisoner of my past, As a victim of a victim of a victim. Seems my parents' parents' parents left traps that held me fast, And they still catch me even when I think I've licked 'em. Well, I have blamed them, I have fought them, But I never understood. All they really did was did the best they could. Is there a way to rise above, If I look at them with love, Though I look at them full honest in the face? Can I make my peace at last With the pieces of my past And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace? And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace. I forgive my poor flawed parents for the things they could not be. I forgive my valiant lovers for not completing me. And the hardest thing of all now, I forgive myself the sin of not being all I planned And all I thought I should have been. But there's an alchemy in time, Transforms each grief and loss and scar Into the precious stuff of who we are. And there's a way to rise above, If I look at them with love. Though I don't deny that harm has taken place. I can make my peace at last, With the pieces of my past And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace Some call it wisdom, and some just call it grace. When we make our peace at last With the pieces of the past And enfold them in forgiveness's embrace, And enfold them. I will enfold them. Now I enfold them in forgiveness's embrace
