lyrics

There was a movement
Explained in nimble grace
With other bodies in prime
Especially mine ,
I was a dancer this time
I was a dancer this time

There was a moment,
Colors intertwined
Upon a canvas,
Especially mine I
I was a painter this time
I was a painter this time

There was a novel,
Summed up existence
For generations,
Especially mine
I was a writer this time
I was a writer this time

it was important to me
it was important to me

A stack of lines
Encased everything
Of human time,
Especially mine
I was a poet this time
I was a poet this time

A note made quiver,
Perfect frequency
Ejected between lips,
Especially mine
I was singer this time
I was singer this time

An orchestra rang
Humans' harmony
At the tip of baton,
Especially mine
I was a maestro this time
I was a maestro this time

It was important to me
It was important to me

There was a battle,
Unending and unfair,
Over bodies,
Especially mine
I was a woman this time
I was a woman this time

There was a person
Born unto this earth,
They had eyes and strength,
Especially mine
I was a mother this time
i was a mother this time

It was important to me
It was important to me
