The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair I will not lower my voice
My mother's child is a savage
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones
In the faces of cats, in the falling of feathers
In the dancing of fire, in the curve of old bones
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot, cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice
My mother's child dances in darkness
She sings heathen songs by the light of the Moon
And watches the stars and renames the planets
And dreams she can reach them with a song and a broom
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice
My mother's child curses too loud and too often
My mother's child laughs too hard and too long
And howls at the Moon and sleeps in ditches
And clumsily raises her voice in this song
We are all brought forth out of darkness
Into this world, through blood and through pain
And deep in our bones, the old songs are waking
So sing them with voices of thunder and rain
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair, we will not lower our voice
