I wish I was an armadillo, I'd have the toughest skin I wouldn't be bothered, wouldn't let anybody in I wish I was a snake, I could shed it Leave it all behind behind and forget it
I wish I was a grizzly bear My fur would keep me from the cold But I am but woman and my skin is so exposed
Noone sees the wolf Noone hears the wolf I cry alone But my body knows
My skin is my story, its my beauty its my home Mine to love and lather, my body's beeswax, blood and bone The history of my life tattooed black Were these complexities considered upon attack
As a swaddled baby girl my mother whispered to defend it ‘Cause the women before us know in the wild we're not protected
Noone sees the wolf Noone hears the wolf We cry alone But our bodies know
In stillness and in silence, we're not animals at all If no one's in the woods, is there thunder when we fall? Lean your ax against our pillars, take what you need For every woman who's been hunted, there's a tree
And our bodies know, our bodies Our bodies know, our bodies knowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
