Mama, mama wake up, mama wake up
Mama I'm sorry
Mama we're sorry
Mama we need you
Mama we need you
Mama wake up
Mama please
Mama please wake up
We're sorry
We're sorry
We need you
How long and how much longer do we think we can continue like this
Is it a form of amnesia
Or perhaps it's low-key dementia that whole world has deferred and postponed the Honoring of our mothers
You may not agree with their methods
You may criticize their tools
You may even try to trivialize the ways in which they fought but there's no denying the Tenacity with which our foremothers fought
How long and how much longer do we think we can continue like this
Is it a form of amnesia
Or perhaps it's low-key dementia that whole world has deferred and postponed the Honouring of our mothers
The dry bones are rising again in Angola, Mozambique, Ghana, in Malawi, in Zimbabwe Nigeria, South Africa, Sierra Leone, in Jamaica, in Mali, Benin, Trinidad and Tobago, in Tanzania and all over the world, the dry bones are rising again
The dry bones are rising again
Hear me and hear me well
There is a difference between honoring and worshiping
I'll say that again
There is a difference between honoring and worshiping and I as a Queen, and I as The Queen, choose to stand up and honor the Queens that have gone before me
For the battles that they fought
For the forced penetration they had to endure
For the bullets which pierced in-between their thighs
The time to make history right is right now
The time to rewrite history correctly is right now
And forgive me I may not and I cannot mention them all but, on this day, I choose to Honor these Queens like you and me and they are, our foremothers

Until we honor the mothers, how then can we know peace
What reconciliation can we talk about without including the mothers
Have you stopped to think what is the mind of God concerning mothers
The womb that carried the seed
The womb which was the first port of incubation
The womb which raptured prematurely.
How long can we continue without honoring our mothers
Mama, mama, mama, mama we honor you
Mama we honor you
Thank you
