Mumbi
Straight from the earth you rose and gave her everything,
Straight from the mountains toes, she gave him her everything,
Always squashed by a man's tall orders,
Always pushed right until our borders,
Mother please let this red earth feed me,
Mould us all like the holy fig tree,
Nine daughters in an ancient blessing,
Matriarch from the mountain dwelling,
I am learning.
They stole away our truth, and turned it evil,
Ancestral homes made new, but I see no evil,
Built myself from a milky timber,
Polished up to look like silver,
But now I'm learning.
Mumbi, mumbi, mumbi, mumbi
Straight from the mountains toes, she gave him her everything,
Always squashed by a man's tall orders,
Always pushed right until our borders,
Mother please let this red earth feed me,
Mould us all like the holy fig tree,
Nine daughters in an ancient blessing,
Matriarch from the mountain dwelling,
I am learning.
They stole away our truth, and turned it evil,
Ancestral homes made new, but I see no evil,
Built myself from a milky timber,
Polished up to look like silver,
But now I'm learning.
Mumbi, mumbi, mumbi, mumbi
