Flame Lily

I come from them
I come from them
Those flame lilies that grew
Despite the darkness of deep waters

I come from them
These women of religion
Women of the cloth
Of faith

Who cradle their faith close to their chests
With heavy but sturdy arms
Women of God
These women who love
With no pause but plenty caution

Who love with no man around
These women who'll sit me under clears skies
To tell me of when they were girls too
Those flame lilies
Those flame lilies
Those

I come from these women
Who never cry to save face
These women of no affection
Women of prayer

Bruised knees and stifled years
Those flame lilies that grew
These whores
These Madonnas
Of light and dark
These saints, these sinners
Of light and dark

I come from these women
Who birthed the sun
The Sun people
I come from the sun and the flame

Sun
Flame
Sun
Flame
I come from the sun
