She taught us to dance to the sacred music Taught us respect for every tribe Taught us to question the power Said do not enlist and don't subscribe You're only beginning, you've only begun Tried to keep us safe from falling While she pushed us to the edge Tried to be a full-grown woman While we were sleeping in our beds She said you know There are no stupid questions Only fools who like to speak Try to break through your restrictions See how far your soul can reach You're only beginning, you've only begun You're only beginning to become It's gonna be the most you see It's gonna grow farther than you or me Gotta trust it, put your faith in it Never try and question when You're gonna step in it She's a raging river, she's a storm at sea She's an arrow in the quiver of the warrior in me Sweeter than an apple right off the tree Does her pollen dance for the other honeybees Her strength is my razor, this faith is my gun Don't believe your borders or television tongues Take away all this metal, take away all this noise Take away all this shrapnel and all these war toys Because we're only beginning, we've only begun This song is beginning to be sung
