Underground
[*inspired by the amazing women of Prajwala)]
a long time ago before the rains began my mother so wanted to give me the chances she never had sent me from home to work in the children's ward she didn't know it wasn't the children they wanted my service for
there's a world beyond this leveling field I'm on and the wonder will come but for now my song is sung underground
they come for the love, they come with compliments they come with a hunger satisfied only with handfuls of innocence sometimes I run, sometimes I gratify sometimes I hum the golden refrain of my grandmother's lullaby
there's a world beyond this leveling field I'm on and the wonder will come but for now my song is sung
the lost will be found the handmaiden crowned the tender vine without a stake to curl around is still growing, still growing underground
a long time ago before the rains began I left my home and everything I could understand
there's a world beyond this leveling field I'm on and the wonder will come but for now my song is sung underground
