Savage Daughter

I am my mother's savage daughter br>
The one who runs barefoot br>
Cursing sharp stones br>
I am my mother's savage daughter br>
I will not cut my hair br>
I will not lower my voice br>
My mother's child is a savage br>
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones br>
In the faces of cats, in the falling of feathers br>
In the dancing of fire br>
In the curve of old bones br>
I am my mother's savage daughter br>
The one who runs barefoot br>
Cursing sharp stones br>
I am my mother's savage daughter br>
I will not cut my hair br>
I will not lower my voice br>
My mother's child dances in darkness br>
She sings heathen songs br>
By the light of the moon br>
And watches the stars and renames the planets br>
And dreams she can reach them br>
With a song and a broom br>
We are all brought forth out of darkness br>
Into this world, through blood and through pain br>
And deep in our bones, the old songs are waking br>
So sing them with voices of thunder and rain br>
We are our mother's savage daughters br>
The ones who run barefoot br>
Cursing sharp stones br>
We are our mother's savage daughters br>
We will not cut our hair br>
We will not lower our voice br>
