Текст песни
You said
I shall have no gods before you
How curious
Because I bow to no throne
I stand in the forest
I stand by the ocean
I stand on this earth
And she is sacred enough
You said
Do not misuse the name of the Lord
And I wonder
Why is the name of the woman
Missing from every word
You said
Do not kill
But I have died a thousand deaths
Shed skin burned breath
And every time I rise again
With fire in my chest
You said
Do not steal
Yet you try to take
My will my voice my flame
You tell me what to worship
You tell me who to blame
How convenient
You said
Do not desire
What another one holds
But desire is a spark
A force that unfolds
It's the birth of creation
The breaking of mold
And then you said
Fear God
Fear your thoughts
Fear your hunger
Fear your fire
Tell me
When am I pure enough
When am I whole enough
When am I good enough
To rise just a little higher
Or
What if I stop kneeling
What if I rise
And realize
The divine is not above me
Not distant not judging not gone
It's moving in my blood
In my breath
In my bones
All along
The divine lives in me
Not in the sky I cannot see
No voice of shame no enemy
The temple the fire
The truth the decree
Lives inside of me
