Lyrics

I WAS A MAN

I was a man in a past life
Took a look at the sky
I was lost in the blue
You may think I’m mad
But I trust life
And this was as real as
Any memory I know
To be true

Being as free
As the wind in the trees
Give me more
Separate but deeply connected
The mystery awakens
From where we have been before

For I WAS A MAN
I was not afraid
Could walk anywhere
Even today
A woman cannot live that way

Came as a shock in the darkness
This was no place to be
There was nowhere to run
You’d think by now we
Would have cleaned up
Such a heck of a mess
When will we learn
How the world can work by

Being at ease
Like the wind in the trees
Not keep score
Being the light
Take the risk
Disentangle
The patriarchal forces to the core

For I WAS A MAN
I was not afraid
Could walk anywhere
Even today
A woman cannot live that way

Oh I did not see it coming
No I did not see it coming
Oh I did not see it coming
No I did not see it
See it coming

For I WAS A MAN
I was not afraid
Could walk anywhere
For generations now
A woman cannot live that way
Not even today

A woman cannot live that way
I cannot wait for that day
