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
