Joy Williams - Woman (Oh Mama) lyrics

Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama

Woman make woman take
Woman sleep woman breathe
Woman carry the burden of knowledge
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)
Come let me show where 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, oh oh)

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)
Come let me show where 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, oh oh)

(Woman) i am the moon in the midnight sky
(Woman) i am the secret you try to hide

Come let me show you, oh
I'm the moon, I'm the moon, yeah oh you
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
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh woman Mary, Jezebel
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Woman heaven
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Woman hell
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Woman teacher
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Woman kind
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Woman nature
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Women rise!
(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

(Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh)
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama
(Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama)
I am the universe
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama
(Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh) woman!
(Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh) woman!
(Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh)
(Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh oh)
Oh mama, mama, momma woman!
