lyrics

She fights the bull
it was never her intent
to be the only woman
in a world full of men
beauty school would never quell the thoughts that raced within her head
she had these dreams, she had to find out what they meant
she fights the bull

She fights the bull, she takes a pause
but she’s not afraid to wave a little red to get her point across
she guides the motion of the bull, she never thinks she’s boss
a quick step to the side, or the risk becomes the loss, she fights the bull

It’s a dance of beauty
some say of shame
but none of us will wonder
if the two of them are brave
born to be together
on this longest of days
so light may triumph over dark in a ritual display

She fights the bull
she clears her mind
there’s been pain in the past, but she thinks, “Not this time”.
since any day might be her last, she doesn’t look for signs
but to die in the plaza des toros -- it would not be a crime, she fights the bull

It’s a dance of beauty
some say of shame
but none of us will wonder
if the two of them are brave
born to be together
on this longest of days
so light may triumph over dark in a ritual display

She fights the bull
there’s a moment a joy
time becomes suspended
in the alchemist’s alloy
the fluid of the moment flows
to fill up every void
she anticipates the message to become the envoy, she fights the bull

She fights the bull, for remembering
there’s only life or death when she steps into that ring
and all the voices of the people blend into a song they sing:
a chorus of fear for what the day might bring, she fights the bull

It’s a dance of beauty
some say of shame
but none of us will wonder
if the two of them are brave
born to be together
on this longest of days
so light may triumph over dark in a ritual display

It’s a dance of beauty
some say of shame
but none of us will wonder
if the two of them are brave
born to be together
on this longest of days
so light may triumph over dark
in a ritual display
