Softly Spoken Woman

Written by Hands of the Heron

Arranged & performed by Hands of the Heron

lyrics

Softly spoken woman, speak softly to me
of the things that you have seen,
of the pieces you have been.

I saw you, I saw you, hiding within.
Caught a glimpse of you, caught a glimpse of you
just beneath my skin.
A reminder, a reminder...

That a softly spoken woman
speaks softly through me
Telling of her stories for those who
listen, listen, listen, listen.

The only one holding you back
is inside your head
The thoughts that you think, well,
in the tapestry, they are the thread.
And all that exists in this moment
is of your choosing.
Negative thoughts of self-doubt
to your soul are a bruising.

Because a softly spoken woman
speaks softly through you.
Mother, maiden, child
Warrior, priestess too.

Flowing like water, she changes her course.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.
Flowing like water, she changes her course.

I know a softly spoken woman
speaks softly through me.
Telling of her stories, for those who
listen, truly listen,
want to listen to me.
