(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)

Woman make, woman take

Woman see, woman breathe

Woman carries the burden all night

Woman always the one to be blamed

Woman shoulder the men of the nation

Woman free you from sorrow and shame

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)

We will show you when life begins

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)

I am the universe wrapped in skin

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)

Woman dream, woman hate

Woman cry, woman break

Woman hold you in the palm of her hand

Woman changing the mask on her face

Woman stand with her feet in the fire

Woman only one thrown in the flames

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)

We’ll show you when life begins

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)

I am the universe wrapped in skin

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)

(Woman)

I am the moon in the midnight sky,

(Woman)

I am the secret you try to hide

Come, let me show you

I’m the moon, I’m the moon

Yeah

I am the moon

I am the moon

I am the moon

I am the moon

Woman monster, woman child,

Woman hero, woman wild

Woman whisper, woman scream

Woman listen, woman free

Woman mary, jezebel

Woman heaven, woman hell

Woman teacher, womankind

Woman nature, woman rise

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama, oh-oh)

(Oh mama, oh mama oh mama)

I am the universe!

Woman!
