I could be under a tree
|
looking for an answer today
|
but though I cannot find some peace of mind
|
I know that I will be fine
|
as I find my way, to motherhood
|
|
motherhood the question of a life
|
to be the window here into the world
|
the world, the earth
|
it requires, that mother sit
|
and mother sow the wheat
|
and as the grain comes down
|
mother surely feast
|
it's the story of the land
|
it's the heart
|
it's the soul of the man
|
|
it's the life
|
it's the god
|
it's the need
|
it's the life
|
it's the seed that we seek
|
|
but though I cannot find some peace of mind
|
I know that I will be fine
|
as I find my way
|
it requires, that mother sit
|
and mother sow the wheat
|
and as the grain comes down
|
mother surely feast
|
it's the story of the land
|
it's the heart
|
it's the soul of the man
|
|
it's the life
|
it's the god
|
it's the need
|
it's the life
|
it's the seed that we seek
|
|
how can I turn it away?
|
how can I say no to what I am
|
the woman, the door, the woman
|
now I sit with my child
|
living out my life
|
I sit with my child
|
the sacrifice
|
