Tell me, sweet sister
Tell me, why are you crying?
Did you think this world was a bitter place?
And that love must by dying?
Well, I stand before you now
Humbled, with a message from a higher lord
Telling us that we can have it all
Just let this old world crumble
Just let it fall
Don't be afraid
The new world is on its way
Pain, just come here
To the heart of a woman
Take away the fear
From the heart of a woman
Our power ends
Precisely where our fear begins
So, find a love that has no end, yeah
And send it right back to you
We are so afraid of time and space
The tracks that life leaves on our face
Where's our dignity?
We have no pride
We must celebrate the woman wides
And love our hips and love our thighs
We can't make the goddess rise
We've been asleep 2000 years
Come on, come on, wake up, wake up
Wake up, my dear
Oh, angels come here
To the heart of a woman
And take away the fear
In the heart of a woman, yeah
The greatest of all mysteries
Has been silence to our history
But the change is gonna come
The change is coming from
The heart of a woman
Oh, all your eyes are teary now
Mother Earth is weary now
In our time the pain will cease
'Cause woman holds the missing peace
In the heart
In the heart of a woman
Hey...
Angels come here
Come here
To the heart
The heart of a woman
Oh...
The greatest of all mysteries
Oh...
In the heart of a woman
Take away the fear
Take away the fear
From the heart of a woman
In the heart of a woman
