Lyrics:
I am a woman, can't you see?
You accuse me of things that simply cannot be
Whispering lies, starting fires
I’m misunderstood why are you targeting me?
I dabble with potions, I find the cure
The herbs are my remedies, of that I'm sure
I learn from the land, it's in the palm of my hand
Who are you to question my word?
*I'm not conjuring darkness or casting spells
I celebrate nature where magic dwells
**I am a woman, this is who I am
I will not be controlled by this wretched scam
You accuse me, abuse me
But you don't know, you don't know
In ancient groves I find peace
Connecting to earth, this is my belief
I won't be blinded by fear, keep my values near
You are choosing not to hear me
You only see what you want
Driven by fear you prefer to judge
Speculate, control and hate
Know not the beauty of the words that I chant
*&**
Let ignorance fade, let acceptance arise
For in unity we’ll find truth beyond lies
I bear no ill will, just the love in my heart
Your accusations I’ll rise above
So stick your needles in me and see that I bleed
I will not confess, no you will not succeed
Chop off my hair and drown me
You will not find what you hope to seek
You will not find what you hope to seek
You will find that I still bleed
*&**
So don't label we me which for that word won't define
The essence of me, it's not yours to malign
In nature there's magic it's yours to behold
I’ll keep speaking my truth, I won't let it go

“Nobody knows the exact figure because records were not kept, but it seems certain that during a three-hundred-year period between three and five million women were tortured and killed... It was enough for a woman to show a love for animals, walk alone in the fields or woods, or gather medicinal plants to be branded a witch…" ~ Eckhart Tolle, A NEW EARTH
