This song comes from a woman’s group I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of for over twenty years in Texas. One of the women came up with the tune, another the words and I created the movements. Over the years other words have come, and we have explored different movement formations. We often form a circle and face in toward the center. In the second verse we face a woman to the side of us in the circle and we become partners.
