Tisch-Boundaries

A young girl sits in the women's section

Watching the men dance with such devotion

Their bodies move with grace and pride

While she sits and feels inside

She sees the joy in their eyes so bright

And feels a twinge of longing take flight

But she knows her place in the community's hold

And the importance of her role to uphold

Still she dreams of joining in

Of feeling the music deep within

But she knows she'll never dance in the men's section

Where only the men have that kind of affection

So she'll dance in her heart and in her soul

Feeling the joy and love that makes her whole

For though she may not dance in the men's section

Her love for the music and tradition has its own connection.
