	Shakin' the House - Here's where my Inner Child gets to come out and sing. It's sad to start, but when we get to the end, it's cheerfully defiant. I enjoy the turnaround! Now I'm grown up and I'm healing and rising speak my life in a song, Be strong, find that I been heavy too long. This time's true, _I_ choose what I do, And now I'm shakin' the house - STOMP! Have fun shakin' the house - STOMP, STOMP!

	Story Behind the Song This is autobiographical - these things were said to me, and I felt sad about them, until finally I said to myself, "Y'know what? Let's dance anyway!" So now, I do. *grin* Lyrics Shakin' the House by Peg Fisher I wanna hug, but my Granny won't let me - Says I'm too big for that now. I'm four, There is Mrs. Neighbor-Next-Door, She says I look six, I must be too big. I wanna dance, but my Daddy won't let me - He says I'm shakin' the house. I'm eight. Am I such a piggy big weight? Daddy says so... I guess he must know. Carried that hurt with me all those years - Eats like a pig. Must be too big. Many tears.... Now I'm grown up, and I'm healing and rising, Speak my life in a song - Be strong, Find that I've been heavy too long - This time's true, _I_ choose what I do, And now I'm shakin' the house STOMP! Have fun shakin' the house! STOMP, STOMP! Copyright 1987
