Lyrics Joy Williams – Woman (Oh Mama)
Text:
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)
x3
Woman make, woman take
Woman carries the burden all night
Woman always the one to be blamed
Woman shoulder the men of the nation
Woman free you from sorrow and shame
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)
We will show you when life begins
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)
I am the Universe wrapped in skin
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)
Woman dream, woman hate
Woman cry, woman break
Woman hold you in the palm of her hand
Woman changing the mask on her face
Woman stand with her feet in the fire
Woman only one thrown in the flames
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)
We’ll show you when life begins
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)
I am the Universe wrapped in skin
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)
(Woman)
I am the moon in the midnight sky,
(Woman)
Come, let me show you
I’m the moon, I’m the moon
Yeah
I am the moon
I am the moon
I am the moon
I am the moon
Woman monster, woman child,
Woman hero, woman wild
Woman whisper, woman scream
Woman listen, woman free
Woman Mary, Jezebel
Woman heaven, woman hell
Woman teacher, womankind
Woman nature, woman rise
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)
(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)
Repeat
I am the Universe!
Womaaaaan!
