She
She danced across the mountain, she thought no one could see And every move she made across the land taught her to be free She swept across the valley, her body so defined And wet with the sweat of seventeen, she found another mountain to be climbed
She soared across the desert, the moon was all aglow She stumbled once in the freezing sand but no one would ever know She swam across the river, her muscles straining strong And she knew as she crossed, the water pulled her deeper into places she belonged
She came to another mountain and found that all could see Every move was proudly made with love and dignity For she is Freedom's daughter and Mother Nature's child As she raced across the finish line her beauty drove the watchful people wild
She paused to feel the power of people singing songs That celebrated living, a feeling that she longed for But slicing through the laughter came an anguished country's cries Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And she saw a gun blow up the song and stole away the future from her eyes
A child was standing near her and caught the runner's fire She kissed her mouth with passion and filled her with desire And when her feet were on the ground she faced the burning sky And with a cry that filled the air with rain She cooled the skin of those who would not die
The killer saw her power, the tyrant saw her skill The women saw themselves in her and the people saw her will Divided by their colors, betrayed by fear's decree But no matter how the future goes, She has been and She will always be
She will dance across the mountain She will dance across the mountain I have dreamed on this mountain
