The Woman In the Moon

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 and little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman in the moon

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause you, you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon
Now little sister and little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman
I said the woman in the moon
