Lyrics
She was wise
She possessed wisdom.
she was a sweet-hearted woman
She was a kind-hearted woman.
she didn't take any shit
She didn't tolerate mistreatment.
she ran with the wolves
She was adventurous and independent.
keeping up with the shooting stars
She was ambitious, aiming high.
she'll stare at you long and hard
She could intensely observe and make one reflect on their identity.
make you question who you are
Her scrutiny might provoke self-reflection in others.
why do you feel good?
Questioning positive feelings.
why do you feel bad?
Questioning negative emotions.
How do you feel and where do you feel it all?
Asking about emotional experiences and their locations within oneself.
Follow that woman, follow that woman, follow that woman, follow that woman,
Encouragement to follow and learn from her actions and ways.
follow her down.
-You gotta follow that woman, follow that woman, follow that woman, follow that woman,
-follow her down.
-She was small
She was physically small but possessed great strength.
but she was mighty strong
Her strength was remarkable.
deep in her core
She had a strong inner essence.
keepin' soft inside along the edges
Her softness was present despite her strength.
she'll teach you how not to harden.
She could teach others to remain gentle despite challenges.
Harden and you're doomed
Warning against becoming hardened; it leads to negative consequences.
harden and you're dead,
-harden and you're doomed
-harden and you're dead,
-you've got to rise above it.
Encouragement to rise above hardening.

-She buried her heart deep within the ground.
Metaphorical burial of emotions, implying protection from the world's vastness and unpredictability.
For the world is big, for the world is round.
-Yes, she buried her heart deep within the ground,
-for the world is big, for the world is round.
-Follow her down.
Reiteration of the call to follow her guidance.
Follow her down.
-Follow her down.
-Follow her down.
