UNTANGLING THE BONES
Oh I know, I know, for I have felt as skinless as you are now
Oh, hush now, I know, for I have felt as broken as you look now
And I longed for someone to take me kindly in their hands, and I longed for someone to sing me gently in my ear, it’s alright, it’s alright sweet, sweet child, it’s alright
So would you let me take you in my hands, and with love reshape you as you were once, for there’s glory in these bones, I see it now, there’s grace and strength and beauty shining out, there’s glory in these bones, yes I see it now
And I long to be someone who’d take you kindly in my hands, and I long to be someone who’d sing you gently in your ear, it’s alright, it’s alright, sweet, sweet child, it’s alright

BELIEVE IN LOVE
This is a beautiful world, are we gonna save it. This is a paradise and it looks like we’re gonna destroy it. I went to a school of love and love is a flame to hold, love it isn't soft and nice no, love is a storm that rips through you, tears down every lie that doesn't serve you
I believe in love, as the strongest force there is
Stronger than the American army
And that is enough now of all of the violence and war, and that is enough now of all the corruption in power, and we are the ones to stand and it’s all so very simple. The power is in our hands cos it only takes one to choose, one in love is stronger than millions who aren’t
I believe in love, as the strongest force there is
Stronger than the American army
And it starts right here, yeah it starts right here, at the war in my heart, at the violence to myself, I said it starts right here, and I’m gonna start right here, stop the war in my heart, stop the violence to myself
I believe in love, as the strongest force there is, as the strongest source that there is, stronger than the American army

Nothing Is Forbidden

NOTHING IS FORBIDDEN
When everything comes falling down, when you forget just who you are, when you lose your solid ground, when the judge comes in with the words to tear you down
You have the love you need, you are the love you need
When your heart is all sung out, when you can’t feel another damn thing. When life serves you the one thing you don’t want
When you hate everything and you hate everyone and you don’t know how to be
You have the love you need, you are the love you need
Oh bring it all down, lay it at your feet, cos you know how to love like nothing is forbidden. Won’t you bring it all down, the earth knows how to hold you and you’ve been given a heart that knows just how to love you, to love you
You have the love you need, you are the love you need

BUFFALO WOMAN
I don’t wanna be a woman in power like a man in power, a woman bleeds. The bleeding women slept with their heads in the centre to dream a collective dream, to find out where the buffalo were
I don’t want to be a woman in power like a man in power, a woman cries, I feel the pain of my child in my own cells, I do not sleep if he’s in danger, I do not sleep if he’s at war, I go out onto the streets and stand in front of the machines
I want to do it together with you, man in power, but I do it in my way
Cos I need you and you need me
I’m coming back to the centre of the government
I’m gonna bleed in the centre of the government
I’m gonna feel, I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna dream-see where the buffalo have gone
I don’t believe anymore that I’m dirty, or that I’m cursed, I don’t believe anymore that I’m weak, I will end every war, I will feed every child, I will stop the destruction of everything that I love
Love is the most powerful thing in the universe and I know how to wield it, yes I know how to feel it
I’m coming back to the centre of the government
I’m gonna bleed in the centre of the government
I’m gonna feel, I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna dream-see where the buffalo have gone
And will you stand by me, will you stand by me? Will you recognise me, will you recognise me? The time has come I can’t wait any longer, my heart is breaking, I’m coming in with my love, I’m coming in, I’m coming in, I’m coming back to the centre of the government

EMOTIONAL CREATURE
Words by Eve Ensler. Music by Boe Huntress
I love being a woman, I can feel what you’re feeling as you’re feeling it inside the feeling before, I am an emotional creature, things do not come to me as intellectual theories or hard shaped ideas, they pulse through my organs and legs and they burn up my ears
I know when your girlfiend’s really pissed off even though she appears to give you what you want, I know when a storm is coming I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air, I can tell you that he won’t call back it’s a vibe, it’s a vibe I share
I am an emotional creature, I love that I don’t take things lightly
Everything, everything is intense to me, the way I walk in the street
The way the morning wakes me up, the way I hear bad news
The way it’s unbearable when I lose
I am an emotional creature, I am connected to everything and everyone, I was born like that don’t you dare say, all negative, that it’s a teenage thing, or it’s only beceause I’m a woman
These feelings they make me better, they make me ready, they make me present, they make me strong
I am an emotional creature, and there is a particular way of knowing
It’s like somehow it was forgotten, I rejoice, it’s still in my body, cos I know when the coconut’s about to fall, I know we’ve pushed the earth too far, I know my father isn’t coming back and that no one’s prepared for the fire, I know that lipstick means more than show, I know boys feel super insecure, and so called terrorists are made not born, I know that one kiss can take away all my decision making abilities and sometimes, you know, it should
This is not extreme it’s a woman thing, what would we all be if the big door inside us flew open? Don’t tell me not to cry, to calm it down, not to be so extreme, to be reasonable, cos I am an emotional creature, it’s how the earth got made, how the wind continues to pollinate, you don’t tell the atlantic ocean to behave
I am an emotional creature, why would you want to shut me down or turn me off, I am your remaining memory, I am connecting you to your source. Nothing’s been diluted, nothing’s leaked out, oh I can take you back
I love that I can feel the inside of the feelings in you, even if it stops my life, even if it hurts too much or takes me off track, even if it breaks my heart, it makes me responsible
I am an emotional, I am an emotional, I am an emotional,
devotional, incandotional creature and I love, I love, I love, hear me, I love, I love, I love, being a woman
