now, I am a woman
|
and you are a man
|
I was born different from you
|
on this earth we both stand
|
now, as a daughter
|
I have learned rules and laws
|
what to say and not to say
|
what's acceptable to be called
|
in the woman's boat
|
on the woman's sea
|
they are calling us
|
they are calling us to sea
|
|
and yes, I have my worries
|
about the human race
|
you see my breasts are aching
|
and I hope it's not too late
|
for the woman's boat
|
on the woman's sea
|
they are calling us and they're calling me
|
|
how the seasons change
|
they rock and they rage
|
will I please allow the thunder
|
and the birth inside of me
|
|
now do you believe in powers
|
like the human and the seed
|
and how evolution happens
|
how the whirlpool spins in me
|
oh grandmother tell us your secrets
|
your stories passed down through the years
|
could I really believe it?
|
is there something happening here?
|
in the woman's boat
|
on the woman's sea
|
is there something hidden
|
something to see
|
|
oh the seasons change
|
they're rocky and they rage
|
will I please allow the thunder
|
and the birth inside of me
|
