about
This song speaks to the miss treatment of our women on a global cultural scale, its bringing awareness to the grievance of female objectification and the deeper yearning to be embraced and loved in our wholeness. May every woman be safe, loved and appreciated for all of who she is.
lyrics
Flowers
She comes and goes as she pleases,
and asks for all the she needs,
her path is narrow and winding,
and it crosses all land and seas,
an arrow that shoots through time and space,
on a vision that once was conceived,
and most will never understand,
as she dances and plants her seeds,
when concrete restricts and opinions oppress,
she will cry for the mother beneath,
she wants to be love for all that she be,
not what the eyes of a man can perceive.
Mother I cry for the pain of your daughters,
for their beauty is miss-conceived,
cut are the flowers and stripped of their powers,
so the blinded eye is pleased
She walks with the scars because they didn’t understand,
now she bares them on skin and heart,
she walks with the trees and together the bleed,
seeping through the cracks of their bark.
one old wise tree was destined to be,
on her back carved a steel string guitar,
a gift of the father that gives her great power,
to walk strong and travel far
Mother I cry for the pain of your daughters,
for their beauty is miss-conceived,
cut are the flowers and stripped of their powers,
so the blinded eye is pleased,
Mother i cry for the pain of you sons,
for they own hands bring their misery,
if only a light could shine and erase,
the fault hopes of their dirty deeds,
She wants to return to the purity of god,
leave behind the pains of the earth,
for her this journey is only beginning,
there’s great beauty in what it’s worth.
