Genuflection

lyrics

I am a genuflecting mama, I am on my knees ‘most all the time.
On my bended knees, I kneel and pray and pine.

It wasn’t a man that broke me. And, no, I am not even broke.
It’s living long tender years that made my heart fall open.

I have lived through several famines, genocides, and world wars.
And my heart breaks for all us victims, and for the warlords.

Why does life have to be this way? Why can’t we all get along?
I know there is a whole other kind of love that exists beyond right and wrong.

From down on bended knee, let me tell you what I know.
No one ever gets out of here alive, when it’s time: we all got to go!

Let’s make that exit now in a symbolic kind of way.
Let’s die to old beliefs now, in a deeper kind of way.
Abide in what you know as love, and let’s start brand new day.

And underneath what we know as love, there is a whole new place.
Beyond and below what we know as love, there is a whole new place.
It’s tender, it’s brave, it’s humble in every way.
