Lyrics
SHE
She?s ringing a change,
Taking the reins,
Naming her game;
He?s twisting the chain,
Hurling the blame,
Crying in vain.
Sometimes it?s an uphill climb to the real thing
Hard times on the bottom line,
Easy as she goes.
She?s fanning the flame,
Making it plain,
Changing her name;
He?s feeling the pain,
Showing the strain,
Praying for rain.
She?ll ride like a thing gone wild in the evening
Hard times leave a trail behind,
Farther every day.
(Instrumental solo)
She?ll shine like a rising sign in the morning
High time in the grand design,
Brighter every day.
(Instrumental w/ vocal improv)
She?ll shine like a rising sign in the morning
High time in the grand design,
Higher and brighter, oh, with every day.
