Take me to the river
To sing your praises
To raise my hands to the heavens above---
And plunge to the hell below
Shout like you know more than the Lord
Push against the tempting fruit---
Unwieldy in your mouth
Lash out at demons you create
And refuse to copulate
Like the snake who thought the ground too hard
Slithered up a tree
And took away your choices
Go down on a knee
And sing your exhortations for to be free
