Samara Joy

But Joy needed to a moment to slow down and take it all in.

She didnt want to lose sight of what got her there in the first place.

And I took a lot of time to self-examine what my purpose was and what I wanted to do.

This album is what I have to offer.

Theres always like a lilting groove, its something that Ive noticed about him.

She wasnt sure and that was the whole point.

That sense of feeling grounded in gratitude emerges on the latter half of the song, Dreams Come True.
