Witches
(source: "Rise Up Singing", Peter Blood and Annie Patterson, 1992.)
Chorus:
- Who were the witches, where did they come from
- Maybe your great, great, great-grandma was one
- Witches were wise, wise women they say
- And there's a little witch in every woman today
- Witches knew all about flowers and trees
- How to use all their roots and their leaves and their
seeds
- When women had babies, the witches were there
- To help them and hold them and give them sweet care
Some people thought that the witches were bad
- Some people were scared of the power they had
- But power to help and to heal and to care
- Isn't something to fear, it's a treasure to share
