maddy ringo - mother tongue lyrics

[verse 1]
my mother tongue is a man in the sky
who wrote nursery rhymes teaching us how to die
and i know the bible was written by man
but i learned to pray with the palms of my hands
i broke all my bread for an answer
i drank so much watered+down wine
in search of the words that our mother speaks
if she says anything at all

[chorus]
i want to breathe the bitter cold
let it fall away
settle in my skin
live another day

[verse 2]
there’s a woman on the corner who feels
the weight of each footstep, thе beating of heels
she tells mе that god is a song that will play
even if we tune it out, turn away
so i’ll say a prayer to whoever will hear
for all of the greed and the guns and the fear
i’ll give a shape to the mystery that speaks
through the language of people and the language of peace
[chorus]
breathe the bitter cold
let it fall away
settle in your skin
live another day
