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 roots

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 Magdalene 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 ma

Mother Earth, my body

Mama mama mama mama mama mama mama

Mary

Mama mama ma

Mother 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 ma

Mother Earth, my body

Mama mama mama mama mama mama mama

Mary

Mama mama ma

Mother Earth, my body

Mama mama mama mama mama mama mama

Mary

Mama mama ma

Mother Earth, my body

Mama mama mama mama mama mama mama

Mary

Mama mama ma

Mother Earth, my body
