Songs of Burning - Carpenter’s Wife

The widow had but only two cents

And all that she had was all that she spent

She gave all she had, such a great feat

The thousands the rich gave could not compete

———

The Virgin Mary was a carpenter’s wife

Her life was loaded with need and with strife

She was no lady of noble birth

And yet she is Queen of heaven and earth

———

And when the Son was crucified dead

He died as slaves do, as slaves do he bled

A colonized boy, he was no king

And for that reason, of him I will sing

———

The Virgin Mary was a carpenter’s wife

Her life was loaded with need and with strife

She was no lady of noble birth

And yet she is Queen of heaven and earth

———

I hungered so and you gave me food

I thirsted and you gave me a drink too

I was a stranger and you welcomed me

I was naked and you gave clothes to me

———

The Virgin Mary was a carpenter’s wife

Her life was loaded with need and with strife

She was no lady of noble birth

And yet she is Queen of heaven and earth172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVy7DCQ57V
