Eve Lyrics

The bible tells me I was made for and from man

And I must do for him everything that I can

I must surrender to his will, yeah I must submit

I can’t make the household decisions coz I am unfit

It tells me my place

With ever-lasting grace

The bible tells me I must be silent you can’t hear my voice

My role has been divinely defined and I have no other choice

I may not be a teacher of man, I must cover up my shame

These are the laws of the one who in vain I cannot name

He tells me my place

With ever-lasting grace

And my punishment for wanting to learn

Is a painful birth from which I may not return

The bible tells me that I am unclean

I am impure you cannot touch me and it has nothing to do with where I’ve been

It is part of who I am, It is because I corrupt man

I was asking for it just by being a woman

He tells me my place

With ever-lasting grace

And my punishment for wanting to learn

Is a painful birth from which I may not return

The bible tells me I was made for and from man

And I must do for him everything that I can

I must surrender to his will, yeah I must submit

I can’t make the household decisions coz I am unfit

It tells me my place

With ever-lasting grace
