Otep You're A Wmn Now
V1
stars litter the sky
the moon is shining high
this soft setember night
two loves creep out of site
a maiden dressed in white with copper hair
restless for adventure
she don't care that the wolf is in the skies
shes been ensnared,
hes got the devil in his eyes
with stylish flair, he shoves her to the ground
her sole begins to drown
the skies full of eyes where the stars should be
the skies full of eyes watching silently
Chorus
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
the weight of the cradle has broken the bow
you've become a woman now
V2
momma woke me up at dawn
she helped me get my best dress on
she braided flowers in my hair
so sweet like the summer air
i'm to meet my groom by the sea
a perfect stranger to correct me
the judges arrive in pairs of three
don't be scared just relax and breath
'cause good girls hold real still
surrender your free will
they cracked the crown
to pluck the pear,
here on the jagged edge of the world
Chorus
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
the weight of the cradle has broken the bow
you've become a woman now
V3
standing on the welfare lines
my daughter clinging to my side
i see the faith in her eyes
i whisper baby we will be just fine
i'll get a good job and well find a new place
well work real hard and well make our escape
i promise you ill get us through
together we will bloom
Chorus
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
the weight of the cradle has broken the bow
you've become a woman now
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
