Take me to the river and bless me
For I’ve been feeling too damn weak
Oh, you can wet my forehead
I got my cheeks
Been walking on bloody
Callused feet
Those christian women been
Shaming me
But I keep going for I
Must find what they can’t see

Oh, water wash and heal me
For I’ve been through the fire and I
Admit I like the heat
Oh, get down on your knees and be with me
For I have as much soul as you
But I still try and reach
And as I sink into the water
Unashamed of my naked body
I know that I am free

For I have been healed by the power of surrendering
My arms outstretched with cupped hands
Waiting to receive
My parched lips wetted by the hope I sip
I sink into the unknown
And let it be, let it be!
For there’s no more fear in me
My soul I feel it in the currents
I'm in the water droplets
Smiling as I reach the surface
I breathe in unweighted and unburdened
Oh, I found myself again
I'm the water that carves mountains

Water wash and heal me
For I’ve been through the fire
And I’ll admit I like the fucking heat
Oh, get down on your fucking knees
And be with me
For I have as much soul as you
But I still try and reach
And as I sink into the water
Unashamed of my naked body
I know that I am free!

Self-liberated
Self-motivated
Femme fatales
Drink them down
Don’t be playing missionary
With a divinity
Lady rapture me
In your baptistry

Well I’ll be damned
God your breed rare

God bless that sovereign female

Well I’ll be God damned
Your breed rare
Yeah
