James Whild Lea Could God Be A Woman Lyrics

There are all types and sizes for what it is worth
Bitches and witches and scrubbers and worse
But they're loved and adored and have a load to bear
To be feeling, to empathise and mostly to care

In the womb we begin and are fed and are formed
But it's time for eviction when we are born
But now there's a mother and a new life to be
And the child doesn't know the difference between she and me

And maybe from birth
Mother Nature becomes Mother Earth

In the arms of a woman lie the lost and the found
It's the arms of a woman hold the world, turn it 'round
Could the arms of a woman be the last, be the first
So could God be a woman for the whole universe

And maybe we never forgive for having been let go
But we always need our mummies, their love and their home
But there is no perfect mother, eventually she'll fail
She'll love us and leave us, love and leave us again

Mythology has Atlas holding up the Earth
But it should have been a woman, the bedrock from birth
But she is only human, she'll have to leave the room
It's painful to learn that life is not a womb

And we grow
Because of the letting go

In the arms of a woman lie the lost and the found
It's the arms of a woman hold the world, turn it 'round
Could the arms of a woman hold the life, give the birth
So could God be a woman for the whole universe

The Earth is a she
A nation is a she
A ship is a she
Carry us over the sea

In the arms of a woman lie the lost and the found
It's the arms of a woman hold the world, turn it 'round
Could the arms of a woman be the last, be the first
So could God be a woman for the whole universe

A mother figure is a mother, mother figure of speech
Mother figures are there to love and to teach
They can be Nannies, Grannies, and others who are glad
To watch over and care, she can even be a Dad
