Lozen

Lozen by Carol Markstrom (BMI)
VERSE 1
Story of an Apache, Lozen was her name
Matchless on horseback, raw unbridled untamed.
Respected by men and women, wisdom known by few.
Strong as a man, braver than most, humble about it too.
REFRAIN:
Lozen medicine women, healer, warrior of fame
Could ride, n’ rope, n’ shoot, n’ fight dead-on-target aim
VERSE 2
Lozen sought and courted, one and all refused.
Lost her heart long ago to a Seneca passing through.
The mysterious man moved on Lozen never the same.
Devoted her life to others giving help and aid. REFRAIN:
VERSE 3:
Her brother Victorio’s right hand, a shield to her people.
Lozen sat in Council, her strategy unequaled.
Arms stretched slowly turning Lozen would pray.
By her tingling palms the enemy’s given away. REFRAIN:
BRIDGE:
Called the Woman Warrior unparalled regard and honor for her goodness and power.
VERSE 4:
A dark day at Tres Castillos Victorio and others slain.
Lozen helping another that’s how she escaped.
Never alone as Apache, she joined Geronimo’s band.
High in the Sierra Madres they made a valiant stand. REFRAIN 2X:
TAG: A vision across the range.
