Lying awake one night in February of 2009, I was thinking about someone I had met. After two days and he had taken over most of my thoughts, my energy, my interactions, and I could see where it was going. This is when I picked up the pen. It's important to me to be balanced, especially when it came to relationships. My family, my career, bettering myself, spreading goodness, helping neighbors, these were things that I put my energy towards. As I looked down at the page in the light of a weak booklamp, I realized that the song wasn't as much me telling him these things. This song was my mind telling my heart that too much of a good thing can be bad for you.
I resolved to use my time and thoughts to better myself, and say "Adios" to anything that would distract from my goal. I went to bed and forgot about the song. It was just another midnight scribble tucked in the pages of my old journal.
When it came time to choose a song to sing on the Terrific Teen Tour, I flipped through the book and sang through
Hakuna Matata
You can hear my version of the song on Disneymania 7. Pick it up in stores or grab it on iTunes.
