step twenty two
This song is dedicated to Miss Hales—a woman born into a world that denied her respect, whose father reclaimed her dignity by giving her the first name “Miss.” It’s for anyone who has felt the weight of hard times, for the sensitive souls whose feelings our culture tries to suppress, and for those open hearts who find strength not by closing off, but by opening even further.
