Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lady, lovely, getting too smart for the hand that strikes u down

Lady, lovely, getting too smart for the hand that covers ur mouth



I want healing (I, I want...)
I want healing (I, I want...)



Ladies, loving, holding the hands of the ones we want around

Ladies, loving, holding the hands of the ones who lift up the ground



I want healing (I, I want...)

I want healing (I, I want...)



U'll find ur strength

Take ur time

U'll find ur strength

Just take ur time

Do ur healing

U'll find ur peace





U'll get by

The repetition of the phrase "I want healing" emphasizes the desire to overcome the pain and hardships caused by the hand that strikes her down or covers her mouth.

My wife and I just met Mambo Sallie in NOLA a few days ago. We found her to be knowledeable, authentic and sincere. A rare combination nowadays. I would recommend her thoughtful, well-written book to anyone. We hope to join her in ritual someday.

Beautiful and Celebration Of Truth no matter under what name. Thank "Goddessness" that you all are living in America and I am to behold such tradition of truth being preserved. The speech of flowers and the wisdom of the bough.

I would love to learn more about this religion, even receive instruction, but I live in an isolated part of the country where the population is almost completely European Christian. :(
