Brought you some fresh linens.

I have to go to the grocery store later, is

there anything you need me to get for you?

You sure you don't want

something to eat?

No, um, I'm actually pretty

tired from the drive, so

I think I'm just going

to take a nap.

Okay, then.

Okay, Mom, you're making me cry.

I'm just so glad you're home.

Is your back bothering you again?

Long drive.

How was she on the way up?

She didn't say much.

Smoked like a chimney.

You think she's telling

the truth about the drugs?

She was living with

the guy, Maxine.

I'm going to go lay down.

[MUSIC BEGINS]

Remember your breathing.

Keep your back straight.

Project your voice...

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

You just gotta relax.

That's all you gotta do.

All right?

Now listen to me, okay?

This is real simple.

But you cannot sing correctly if your

shoulders are up like this.

All right?

The key to singing is to allow

the air to flow unobstructed

from your lungs, through

your windpipe and out.

That's it. Okay?

Okay now, open your mouth.

There you go. Wider.

Good. Good good good.

Now relax these shoulders...

Nice. Okay, Keep them straight...

Relax the arms,

relax the back.

Good. Okay, now, breathe in

with your diaphragm...

Yeah, that's it. Okay.

And out...

And in... and out...

One more time, breathe in...

Now sing.

# You're the Glory of my longing #

# The Glory of my tears #

There you go.

# The Glory of my loneliness

That seemed to last for years #

Beautiful

# The Glory of my struggle#

[GIGGLES]

# You're the Glory of my longing #

# The Glory of my tears #

# The Glory of my loneliness

That seemed to last for years #

# The Glory of my struggle

To be who I have to be #

# The good that came

From everything #

# That seemed to hard on me

The happy ending #

# To my story #

#You#

# You're the Glory #

# You are the Glory #

[APPLAUSE]

- Just like an angel...

- Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hi.

That was... I mean, I didn't

even know you could sing.

I messed up, like, three times.

I never noticed.

I heard about your scholarship to A and M.

That's really awesome.

Thanks. Where you going?

B- U. It's where my

parents went, so...

Thank you so much, Sir.

A pleasure, always.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Hi. How are you?

Listen, a bunch of us are

meeting up at the lake this afternoon.

You should come hang out.

Uh, I don't know if I can...

Um, yeah, if you can...

Yeah, that'd be cool.

Well, let me know.

I noticed the Reeds

weren't there again.

Yeah, they put Jake on nights.

- Dad?

- Hm?

Some of the kids from church are

going over to the lake this afternoon,

and they wanted to see if I could go.

Which kids?
