I said a prayer for the homeless
I pray no life is lived in vain
I lit a candle and i stepped out into the pouring rain
I went looking for the mother inside
World turning
Tears of redemption and forgiveness
I crossed that river looking for the witness looking for the mother inside
And the rain fell down like the tears of the virgin
Tears of joy for all souls emerging emerging from the mother inside
Sun rose at midnight
Clouds blew away
Eyes like diamonds
Leading me on my way
I went singing for the mother inside.
Yemaya, shakti ma
Durga ma, maria ma
Jai ma jai ma jai ma amma
We're all the same under the skin unprotected, searching, searching for the mother inside.
Birth and death,
In every breath
One lover
After another
As we search for the mother inside.
Oh mother earth
What did we do...
We took too much of you we were just reaching out reaching for the mother inside.
