"Mother's Spiritual" lyrics

"Mother's Spiritual"

On a street corner where the kids boogie all night
Or where the winds sing and the stars shine like holiday lights
Come a band of angels, salvation in their might and as for peace on earth...

Feel this love, my brothers and sisters, feel the season turn, she is the mother of time
Wonders that take you, rivers that give, that's where mother's spiritual lives

Talk of a ruby, love, lover's share. Find your love, lose your love here and there
So you go home, do your own thing, the ocean sings to me
That love is always alive and part of thee

Feel this love, my brothers and sisters, feel the season turn, she is the mother of time
Light and darkness come to her kiss cause that's where mother's spiritual lives

Come to the lights my sisters and take what you need
Doesn't matter, my brothers, your Sunday creed
Cause each one's a lover to this winter night star, a pilgrim, a pioneer, that's who you are

Feel this love, my brothers and sisters, feel the season turn, she is the mother of time
It's not war, it's life she gives and that's where mother's spiritual lives
