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
