| 1000 Grandmothers Words and music by Holly Near Recorded on Edge |
|||||||||||||
| Send in a thousand grandmothers They will surely volunteer With their ancient wisdom flowing They will lend a loving ear x2 First they'll form a loving circle Around the wounded wing Then contain the brutal beasts of war Sweet freedom songs they'll sing x2 A lullaby much stronger Than bombs and threats to kill A force unlike we've ever seen Will break the murder's will x2 To the prisons we'll invite them The most violent men will weep When a 1000 women hold them strong And pray their souls to keep x2 Let them rock the few who steal the most And rule with youthful charms So they'll see the damage that they do And will fall into grandma's arms 2000 loving arms If you think these women are too soft To face the world at hand Then you've never known the power of love And you fail to understand An old woman holds a powerful force When she no longer needs to please She can cut your shallow life to bits And bring you to your knees We best get down on our knees And pray for a thousand grandmothers Will you please come volunteer No longer tucked deep out of sight Will you bring your power here Will you bring your power here Copyright 1999 Hereford Music (ASCAP) Use/Reprint by Permission Only. |
