Lyrics

Daughters of Eve
Lyrics, music and arrangement by Beverly Graham ©

Daughters of Eve you have to believe they tried to deceive you babe they told you a lie (ah-ha)
You are not the serpent baby you are not the snake, no
They tried to break you cause they want you die (oh my)
This has been history this is not herstory
They bow their heads and say a great amen (amen)
Then they will burn you at the stake once again (that's hot)

Daughters of eve try not to grieve your strength will not leave you baby you will survive (oh yeah)
The road is long and hard but you have made this walk before
You have opened up the door babe and your still alive (that's right)
You know the mystery you've made it your story
You know the secret you know the way (ah)
And the patriarchs have nothing they can say (not a word)

They want to chain you
They want your power
They \want to own you babe they want to devour
Your will and your wonder but please do not give in
You are not the cause of the universal sin
They cannot take your freedom
Or your right to choose no they can't have what you won't five cause you've paid your share of dues
You?re a daughter of life, your a daughter of eve, your the daughter of the mother of us all girl
just believe in your self (believe)

They cannot take your freedom
Or your right to choose no they can't have what you won't five cause you've paid your share of dues
You?re a daughter of life a daughter of eve a daughter of the mother of us all girl jut believe in your self

Daughter of life
Daughter of light
Daughter of eve

(Daughter of the Universe)
