"Of Womankind" lyrics

"Of Womankind"

Blow my mind
Show the wind
How to pass time

Higher mind, be of womankind
Be of higher mind, be of womankind
What you had before you could leave behind
What you had before you could leave behind
Be of higher mind, be of womankind
Be of higher mind, be of womankind

I knew it but it took a while
I tried to try and fix the past
A task you cannot hope to do
And I commiserate with you
Who made the parallel mistakes
That add up to our greying braids
Climb above the mountainside
Protest song's sung in our eyes
We'll lift up like a flock of birds

Cycle through to murmuration
And power grows God only knows
We'll deconstruct construction noise
A cherry lip and uniform
The hubris that the humans wore
The body is a corporation
I believe we're all the fool tonight

Higher mind, be of womankind
Be of higher mind, be of womankind
What you had before you could leave behind
What you had before you could leave behind
Be of higher mind, be of womankind
Be of higher mind, be of womankind

A tarot card for all the world
Unlikely to apologize
Just overthrow the cup of words
That the body politic deserves
Just look what's happening to her
Just look what's happening to her

Hugging pepper spray at night
We check under our cars
To navigate this subtle maze
Be exactly who we are

Of womankind
Of womankind
Of womankind

Come outside
The trees hold out their arms
And can't tell lies
