The Woman In The Moon

I was warned as a child of thirteen

Not to act too strong

Try to look like you belong but don't push girl

Save your time and trouble

Don't misbehave

I was raised in a "no you don't world"

Overrun with rules

Memorize your lines and move as directed

That's an age old story

Everybody knows that's a worn out song

But you and i are changing that tune

We're learning new rhythms from the woman

I said the woman in the moon

Little sister, little brother

Keep on pushin'

Don't believe a word about

Things you heard about

Askin' too much too soon

'cause they can hold back the tide

But they can never hold the woman in the moon

I believe there's a best of both worlds

Mixing old and new

Recognizing change is seldom expected

As i long suspected

They believed that strange was a word for wrong

Well not in my song

'cause you, you and i are changing that tune

We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon

Little sister, little brother

Keep on pushin'

Don't believe a word about

Things you heard about

Askin' too much too soon

'cause they can hold back the tide

But they can never hold the woman

I said the woman in the moon
