Mama Lyrics

written by Sara Emmitt

A cacophony of light

and the sounds endlessly breaking

like waves against the edges of the earth

She breathes into the night

deep and hot like wind rising

off of fire

A bellow of the flames

And I will never be the same again

Oh mama you show me the way

back in

When the pains go up in flames

with old karmas, sticky samskaras

Those ashes nourish the soil

from which grow

the flowers of our dharmas

Well we can’t go back to the time before

we burnt our wounds to the ground

For all that exists now is in this moment

So rise to meet yourself

take up your space

love your body

There is grace in letting go

having faith in the next heart beat

Don’t hold your breath

show yourself respect

and stay humble 

Don’t hold your breath

show yourself respect

and stay humble 

And I will never be the same again

Oh mama you show me the way

back in

Shri Ma jai Ma jai jai Ma…

And I will never be the same again

Oh mama you show me the way

back in

Om shanti shanti shanti
