Lyrics

Holy Mother

Words & Music by Jan Garrett

She comes in with a gypsy midwife
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Singing her way thru the sorrows of this life
She shall have music wherever she goes
Music wherever she goes

Dancing along in the madness
She's got her feet on the ground
Give her your pain and your sadness
She'll eat you and turn you around
She'll turn your whole world upside down

Holy Mother.....Holy Mother of God
Saving the sisters and brothers
Holy Mother.....Holy Mother of God

She is the heart of the darkness
She is the port in the storm
Hers is the fierce love that holds us together
The fire that keeps us warm
The fire that keeps us warm

She is the wind in the canyon
She is the rain on the land
She knows the stars and the seasons by heart
You live in the palm of her hand
You live in the palm of her hand

Solftly and tenderly calling
Blessing the living, and holding the dead
When everything else has fallen away
She is the voice in your head
She is the voice in your head
