lyrics

Every month when the moon is exalted
I and you become the focus
Every Sunday when your body needs focus
let me ease the knots from out your shoulders
Bless this home, bless this bed
Bless these words and what's been said
Bless this home, bless this bed
Bless these words and what's been said

We enter our day, cooking cormeal porridge
cultures where the soul is, today's a summer solstice
Today we soak the sun in, because we've been lacking in the vitamins to keep us fighting, all that Babylon is
But it takes only a day to regain your superpowers
I'm waiting with the shea, when you come out the shower
We passed every hour, and couldn't even tell
Time is always different when you're using it well
and now you are humming sweeter than a hummingbird
and we are never shy about what the neighbours heard
So we acquiesce into all our body curves
It's a wonderful time to be aligned, ain't it?

Fresh mangos, watching you given angles
We are able in on it, we are stable and solid
Our compass is in tune, chakras spinning in love
our clothes fell to the floor, and no one's picking them up
I ain't afraid to get low, where your feet are stowed
Want to acknowledge all of the steps that you have taken
from your south to north node, never get small or narrow
No need to change your tone, unclench your jaw and let it flow
So they can hear you humming sweeter than a hummingbird
and we are never shy about what the neighbours heard
So we acquiesce into all our body curves.
It's a wonderful time to be aligned, ain't it?

I pray that you’re protected by a higher power
that you can see the light in your darker hour
that you continue to be gentle and strong
cocoa butter glow you've got it going on
