Always hungry to feel her belly with knowledge
The old ones whispered and she listened and learned
But still she yearns for more
So much dialog under feet
Ebony oil on her braids
Bright orange bracelets around her wrist
sharp echoes in her voice
Like the plants in her house she
grows tall with care
Powerful enough to melt a galaxy anywhere
She dances her story
She dances her story
Even in a room full of people,
she's still herself.
Like an unscripted movie
her rhythm is always felt.
Till stars lose their shine
she will move in time.
Maybe not like back in the day,
but the way she speaks with dance...she knows exactly what to say.
She dances her story
She dances her story
Even in a room full of people
She dances...dances her story

Ain't got time for nobodies standardized beauty.
She dances her story to her own
music.
Her realities remain intact,
no longer concerned with being where it's at.
Cuz she's happy... happy to be in her own chilled space
Rejuvenating herself day by day.

She dances her story
She dances her story
Even in a room full of people
She dances...dances her story

It's in her bones y'all
she could never stand still.
She knows what matters and who never did.
Each day living poetry no other could ever write.
All while nourishing herself with positive light.
She dances her story line by line
face toward the sun they be sayin..."shine sis shine"
No shade to anyone else
we all may need a do over...that's why she dances... dances her story.
She dances her story
Even in a room full of people
She dances...dances her story
I am she
