[English]

we are

the divine

and inside I light

the candles of my shrine

you grow

up my spine

like the serpent

who's awakening

my mind

let me sing louder

for all the voices who can't sing

Breaking down those barriers

That keep your heart held within

I will be warrior, oh I will be

A sister for you

To the savage daughters

Who's hearts still burn

My body is my temple

My hurt is my hurt

To the savage daughters

Who dare to dream

With the power to move mountains

Yet wild and free

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o

We're all a mother's child

we're force of nature made to dance with light

circles of the night

come and take my hand

and fold yours into mine

let me sing louder

for all the voice who can't sing

Breaking down those barriers

That keep your heart held within

I will be warrior, oh I will be

A sister for you

To the savage daughters

Who's hearts still burn

My body is my temple

My hurt is my hurt

To the savage daughters

Who dare to dream

With the power to move mountains

Yet wild and free

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o

As gentle as blossom

as fierce as a storm

Inhaling life with the eye of the soul

as we fly and fall in cracks of time

there will be truth when we all align

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o

To the savage daughters

Who's hearts still burn

My body is my temple

My hurt is my hurt

To the savage daughters

Who dare to dream

With the power to move mountains

Yet wild and free

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o

He-a-a-o-o-o

He-a-o-o-o
