 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Shoulders capable of re-sprouting winds, 
usually open, now close, 
as she bows her head in prayer.

But since we can only pray for what we know, 
as mouth shapes "Lord, give me strength,"
and weighted woman admits she once was what she now needs, 
shoulders shape "I remember," 
and she uncurls, realizing anything she once was, she is, 
and more.
