Gypsy Woman (my first song!!)

Walking along the street one dreary day in April, 2006. Near campus, where I was studying psychology, dance, women's studies... Deep in my own healing process, I had discovered a love of dance ~ of the dance of life moving through me ~ Spirit becoming form in the dance that was in me, but not my own... I knew my passion as a dancer - movement was my healer, my release, and my most beautiful gift. Little did I know what more was to come. But this day, this grey day, walking along in my combat boots and long flowery skirt, my gypsy nature took over and out came a song! And in a voice I'd never heard ~ fuller than life itself, a gift of Grace... It was in this moment, on these lyrics, in this voice, that I knew my place in this world, my mission of truth.

Gypsy Woman, takin’ you higher
Burnin’ inside like a fire
Gypsy Woman, liftin’ you higher
Let her inside to inspire

Gypsy Woman lookin’ for a home
Lookin’ for a place to call her own
Gypsy Woman, lookin’ for a home
Looking for a place to rest her weary bones

Gypsy Woman, takin’ you higher
Burnin’ inside like a fire
Gypsy Woman, liftin’ you higher
Let her inside to inspire

Gypsy Woman gotta move-a her bones
Wherever she roam, there is her home
Gypsy Woman, shakin’ her bones
All o’er this great earth, she has flown
