Lyrics
The more I choose to shine
the more I connect the more safe I am
the more I choose to shine
Separate us? Pierce a diamond first
We're lotus And water
Servant And master
My love for you Is no secret
I'm the grub To your ichneumon fly
The river To your sea
The borax To your gold
Heightening its effect
Tell me, wise one, How did I become A woman from a man?
I never got married, Was never pregnant, But gave birth to sons
I fucked young men, Too numerous to count, And stayed a virgin
In a Brahmin's house, I become a Brahmin's wife
In a yogi's, a lay yogini
In a Turk's, I read the kalma And do as Turkish women do
And yet I'm always alone
Without a place to call home. Listen, saints
Kabir says, This is my body
