Lyrics
" LIBERATION SONG? 1987, 2000 (c) Gayatri
( or RELEASE)
Captive is the woman who is lost in a man,
He absorbs all her power as fast as he can.
For a woman surrender comes naturally
But she has to know that her spirit is free.
Chorus:
She's the guardian of nature and the core of the earth.
Out of her is the mystery of creation and birth.
A woman?s devotion runs in her veins
She the dawn and the sunset and the summer rains
Inside she is willing to give and let go
She gives like the sunrise but in darkness she grows
Chorus
Some men are magicians and her power they see
Because she surrenders so willingly
She?s a mystery with power but a man knows force,
So he damns up her river upsetting its course
End with chorus (2x)
