qos | The Woman in the Moon

I was listening to this song while doing my cardio workout the other day. It's been a favorite of mine for years, and suddenly struck me as being something that some of my friends here might enjoy.

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...

It's performed by Barbra Streisand in A Star is Born.
