James Whild Lea - Could God Be a Woman Lyrics
There are all types and sizes for what it is worth*****es and witches and scrubbers and worseBut they're loved and adored and have a load to bearTo be feeling, to empathise and mostly to careIn the womb we begin and are fed and are formedBut it's time for eviction when we are bornBut now there's a mother and a new life to beAnd the child doesn't know the difference between she and meAnd maybe from birthMother Nature becomes Mother EarthIn the arms of a woman lie the lost and the foundIt's the arms of a woman hold the world, turn it 'roundCould the arms of a woman be the last, be the firstSo could God be a woman for the whole universeAnd maybe we never forgive for having been let goBut we always need our mummies, their love and their homeBut there is no perfect mother, eventually she'll failShe'll love us and leave us, love and leave us againMythology has Atlas holding up the EarthBut it should have been a woman, the bedrock from birthBut she is only human, she'll have to leave the roomIt's painful to learn that life is not a wombAnd we growBecause of the letting goIn the arms of a woman lie the lost and the foundIt's the arms of a woman hold the world, turn it 'roundCould the arms of a woman hold the life, give the birthSo could God be a woman for the whole universeThe Earth is a sheA nation is a sheA ship is a sheCarry us over the seaIn the arms of a woman lie the lost and the foundIt's the arms of a woman hold the world, turn it 'roundCould the arms of a woman be the last, be the firstSo could God be a woman for the whole universeA mother figure is a mother, mother figure of speechMother figures are there to love and to teachThey can be Nannies, Grannies, and others who are gladTo watch over and care, she can even be a Dad
