God Was A Woman

Warm caress in the night time
Tender lips of the rose at dawn
Echoing crypt of the shadow
Can you tell me where she's gone?

Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
We called her
Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana. ~Repeat~

She was the Mother, the Earth and all Her children
From the sky, the land and the sea
She was the green one growing,
Ripening, sustaining, giving life abundantly
She was sunlight, starlight,
Waxing moon and waning
And the Queen of Heaven too.
She was the deep space and the galaxies
Of planets that we ride twirling through.

Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
We called her
Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.

We heard her voice in the force of the whirlwind
We felt her pulse in the tide and the driving rain
We saw her blood at the birth of our children
We tasted her flesh in the growing of the grain

Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.

She was the young one, the holy maiden huntress,
New life that blooms in the spring
She was the seed, the key, the power of beginning,
The door that's opening.
She was the old one, the hag, the crone of wisdom,
The deep grave under the earth.
She was the queen of night, the face of death
And the darkness, the cauldron of rebirth.
We called her
Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.

We heard her voice in the force of the whirlwind
We felt her pulse in the tide and the driving rain
We saw her blood at the birth of our children

She was the warn caress in the night time
She was the tender lip of the rose at dawn
She was the echoing crypt of shadow
Can you tell me where she's gone?
Is she forgotten?
Can we find her resting place?
When is the hour of her return?
We go without her and the pain is all around.
The forest dies... The witches burn
~We called you~
Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.
Mmmm... Mmmm...
Mmmm... Mmmm...
Remember...
~And we~ remember...
Remember...
~And we~ remember...
And we remember dreams will take us in our hearts
To the place where she has gone.
She's still among us!
We sing her name, she answers and
She still lives on and on ~And on~
She still lives on and on
We called her
Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.
She is the lover, sweet passion and desire
Embracing men and women too
She is the skin, the hands, the mouth, the swelling chest,
And she's the gate of love we all pass through
And she's the world outside us and the world inside.
She is birth, life, love and death
Well she's both near and far, the boundary and the center
She is north, south, east and west.
We called her
Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.
She is the woman who is crying out for justice
And she lives in the hurt and angry ones
And she moves in the power of changing
And she calls to our hearts freedom! Freedom!

Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
Do you remember when god was a woman?

Isis, Astarte, Diana Hecate, Demeter,
Kali, and Innana.

I don't know why I love this so much..
