woman

Out on the street
Hung in the mid-air
Freer than last year
But still caught in a snare
Stumbling through
Collisions of roles
O how we suffer
Saving our souls

Woman I couldn't let you be
Any less free than me
Woman
Please don't feel so alone
Woman
Now you're out on your own
Woman I couldn't let you be
Any less free than me

Out of my hands
And into your arms
Together we weather
The gathering storms
Woman
On our own terms
A flash in your smile
A touch in your eyes
A taste of desire
New romantic surprise

Woman I couldn't let you be
Any less free than me
I am not a number
I am a free
Woman
At last we can dance
Mother; mother; mother
