Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug (roots are dug)
Into sorrowful soil
Our roots are dug
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug (our roots are dug, are dug, our)
In a woman's lifetime
She gets four hundred eggs
But only two or three nests
Woven with a mother's life force (woven with a mother's life force)
Emotional textile (woven with a mother's life force
Woven with a mother's life force)
Self-sacrificial (woven with a mother's life force)
This is emotional textile
Self-sacrificial, self-sacrificial
Nihilism happening cuts through this
Nihilism happening
You did well, you, you did your best
Well, you did your best (you did, you did it well)
You did, did, di-di-di-did well
You did, did, di-di-di-di-di-di well
You di-di-di-di-did well
You did well
