lyrics

Evoking the Goddess Love
Studying the highest stuff
Finding my worth
in the things of the Earth
preparing my place above
I belong with the beings
the ones my ancestors could see
Beating the drum
of the land I come from
where it's hailed
to be black as me

You could be like the queen
like the fury of Erzulie
Giving and loving
surrendering nothing
demanding your energy
Listening for what you say
Ah mon Dieu, Papa Bondye
The world will be yours
all full of your cause
If you dance, I will dance that way

Darling, you're spirited
I know you're hearing it
You're not imagining
Let magic win
Open to what is true
The power inside of you
to rise up and start again
Let magic win

Humming for peace of mind
Entranced by the great design
Taking your place
with the bodies in space
You are there
as the starts align
You ride on a higher vibe
Is that how you found your tribe?
Got back to your roots
discovered your truth
and abandoned the tired lie

You could be like the sun
the purveyor of everyone
Indestructible, troubled
a fiery bubble
an ornament proudly hung
Listening for they say
des mystères, Papa Bondye
The world will be yours
all full of your cause
I will dance for you everyday

Darling, you're spirited
I know you're hearing it
You're not imagining
Let magic win
Open to what is true
The power inside of you
to rise up and start again
Let magic win
