lyrics

She reached out her hand

Hunched and crammed into a corner
Dust and crowds and sadness hides her
Misery etched on her face
Beneath the rouge, above this place
Nothing of the crowd in her
Something made divine in her
A stray hair stands out on her cheek
No reason she should be this meek

She reached out her hand

I know her not to be a man
The goddess in me knows her better
Than she's ever known herself
I crouch down with the mountains ringing
Leopards singing in my mind
The Mother of the mountains has me
Reach out my hand

Reach out my hand

Through crowds and dust I watched her dance
A shining creature from beyond
The world of shame and shadows
Where I've had to live for oh so long
Her hair whips round in golden trails
Her tiny breasts, her perfect nails
She's something so much more than I have ever
Tried to be and failed

Something quite divine in her
A goddess brought to ground for us
The crowd looks down and sneers
As she circles with her begging bowl
I see the same looks on their faces
They keep for me in marketplaces
I look up, she crouches down and
Takes up my hand

She takes up my hand

We stand together hand in hand
Eyes locked together, mind to mind
Reflected in each other, heart to heart
Bodies calling to each other as the recognition sets us both aflame

We know each other not to be what this marketplace says we should be
