UR A WMN NOW

Stars litter the sky The moon is shining high This soft, September night Two lovers creep out of sight A maiden dressed in white With copper hair Restless for adventure She don't care That the wolf is in disguise She's been ensnared He got the devil in his eyes & stylish flair He shoves her to the ground Her soul begins to drown A sky full of eyes where the stars should be A sky full of eyes watching silently You're a woman now You've become a women now The weight of the cradle has broken the bough You've become a woman now Mama woke me up at dawn She helped me get my best dress on She braided flowers in my hair So sweet was the summer air I'm to meet my groom down by the sea A perfect stranger to correct me The judges arrive in pairs of 3 Don't be scared, just relax & breathe Good girls hold real still Surrender your free will They cracked the crown To pluck the pearl Here, on the jagged edge Of the world You're a woman now You've become a woman now The weight of the cradle has broken the bough You've become a woman now Standing on the welfare line My daughter clinging to my side I see the faith in her eyes I whisper, baby we will be fine I'll get a good job & we'll find a new place I'll work real hard & we'll make our escape I promise you I will get us through Together we will bloom You're a woman now You've become a woman now The weight of the cradle has broken the bough You've become a woman now You're a woman now You're a woman now You're a woman now --- Ur A Wmn Now - Otep
