Bilingual
I heard two women talking it over, in Chelsea on the west side corner
The bombs that fall, the big divorce, how there's no crying at the end of the world
And running away won't solve anything, not even, they laughed, personally
A dame does what she must no matter the hurts, the phoenix rises in fits and starts
(in fits and starts)
Whatever comes next, there always will be poets and revolutionaries
People who risk their own for another, and the everyday singing of mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers
I hear the everyday singing, the everyday singing
Men hold back, but I'm so free, I cross oceans, I fly centuries
I can hardly be filled, somehow I'm able to show up each day making marks at the table
You are the flame coming out of the ash, the good in the quiet after the crash
I'm the messy retort, the taut to the slack, I don't take a single thing back
Not a single thing back
Whatever comes next, there always will be poets and revolutionaries
People who risk their own for another and the everyday singing of mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers
I hear the everyday singing, I hear the everyday singing
It goes may love write the story between us, may love fill the space that remains
May love enter here on my signing, may love leave no blank page
I hear the everyday singing
The phoenix rises in fits and starts, showing up everyday no matter the hurts
Before it flew off across centuries, I swear, it looked right at me
It looked right at me
Whatever comes next, there always will be poets and revolutionaries
People who risk themselves for another, the everyday singing of mothers and daughters
I hear the everyday singing, I hear the everyday singing, I hear the everyday singing
It goes, may love write the story between us, may love fill the space that remains
May love enter here on my signing, may love leave no blank page
I hear the everyday singing, I hear the everyday singing
I hear the everyday singing, I hear the everyday singing
I hear the everyday singing, I hear the everyday singing
