Mama

lyrics

we crucified the sons and forgot about the mothers
left her alone in sorrow, never to recover
what is true, let's go back to the root
who made your christ?
woman and god
man's only job was to love her
oh, my sisters and brothers
take a closer look at the mythology
mary magdelene the whore that's the core of misogyny
misinterpretations
twisted stories of creation
who bathed him in oil?
who dressed his wounds?
who loved him, who fed him?
fruit of the womb
fallen from the tree, thank you gravity
releasing shame and naturally
we return
remembering where we came from

mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
mary
mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
earth, my body
mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
mary
mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
earth, my body


when i was young i was told
there was just one way to pray
only one way to think
only one way to feel
spent so many hours
feeling small
inside of church walls that echoed
somebody else's vision
built upon centuries
of feminine energy
tied down and repressed
too powerful to be expressed
but next we come
full circle
back to the source of all life, all death
all vision, all breath
held within her breasts
her womb, her wounds
bleeding with the moon i feel you

mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
mary
mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
earth, my body
mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
mary
mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
earth, my body
