She Moves

She Moves

On the solid ground,

She Moves

In the dark of night

Or just before dawn.

You won’t see her out around,

Cause that’s not her game

She moves

On the down low.

In the hours of stillness,

Or where nobody can be found,

She listens with her heart

To hear the marching orders.

Then she moves,

Moves on the solid ground.

If you can see her,

Then you understand

If she is a mystery

Then you are from a distant land.
