Bodily Exile

I've been exiled in my own body
And a drought has left me achin' to be free
From the wretched thoughts that I'm not worthy
Just when the world was dark an oasis saved me

Call me renewed
Call it desire
Fetch me myself
I'll start a fire
Around my cup
The tea leaves read
"You've found your life"
You're released, freed

Callin' up my soul I begin to moan
And the cries inside my heart come out as groans
I've tried to unlock the door, turned every stone
But my door's been locked so long, I could only roam

Call me renewed
Call it desire
Fetch me myself
I'll start a fire
Around my cup
The tea leaves read
"You've found your life"
You're released, freed

Every single turn is a surprise
And the flutter in my soul begins to rise
As I look in the mirror, I don't recognize my eyes
My mouth is free from bounds I tied up in your lies

Call me renewed
Call it desire
Fetch me myself
I'll start a fire
Around my cup
The tea leaves read
"You've found your life"
You're released, freed

Dancing in a circle with my tambourine
My sisters, Miriam around the flames sing
As we hold hand in hand, the joining ring
Creates such force that I can't help but scream

Call me renewed
Call it desire
Fetch me myself
I'll start a fire
Around my cup
The tea leaves read
"You've found your life"
You're released, freed
