Lyrics

One, two, buckle my shoe,
La la la la.
Three, four,
Shut the door
On the life I knew a long time ago.
Just a nursery rhyme ago.

I knew a child who could dance on air,
Could throw her troubles to the sea,
But gone is that child and her ribboned hair,
And I’m here with The Woman I’ll Be.

I knew girl with a gypsy dream,
A sun-drenched vagabond was she,
But gone is that girl and her ribboned hair,
And I’m here with The Woman I’ll Be.

I’m standing on the threshold,
I’m reaching for the door,
And little seems familiar to my stare.
I linger in the hallway,
Afraid of one step more.
And yet I know
It’s time for me to dare ..

To be a woman
With a woman’s heart.
To honor all that’s deep inside of me.
I know I must answer the voice that beckons.
Though trembling,
I’m eager to see
The earth, and the sky,
And the great adventure
Awaiting The Woman I’ll Be
