Women

Okay, since I am on the Indigo Girls roll...I will put out the words to a song that spoke to me during times of struggle with the church and women's role in the church. This song still speaks to me but I am out of the fray at this point and only occasionally feel the anger rise about this issue...oh, I often felt it before but many times had to stuff in down and be the nice girl. If you would like a clearer picture of part of that journey...go to gal328 and read the archives in the forum.
So here's an amazing song.

Go

Through the dustbowl
Through the debt
Grandma was a suffragette
Blacklisted for her publication
Blacklisted for my generation
Go go go

Raise your hands
Raise your hands high
Don't take a seat
Don't stand aside
This time don't assume anything
Just go go go

Feed the fire
Fan the flame
I know you kids can stand the rain
I know the kids are still upsetters
'Cause rock is cool but the struggle is better
Go go go

Raise your hands
Raise your hands high
Don't take a seat
Don't stand aside
This time don't assume anything
Just go go go

Did they tell you it was set in stone
That you'd end up alone
Use your tears to psyche you out
You're too old to care
You're too young to count

Did they tell you, you would come undone
When you try to touch the sun
Undermine the underground
You're too old to care
You're too young to count

Go go go

No thoughts on homosexuality...maybe some response about women's role in the church.

They told me it was set in stone and that I'd end up alone. They told me that I'd come undone.

In a way, I did come undone. But I'm glad it all unraveled. I'm in a much better place now, much freer with allowing people to use their gifts or to sit down and soak it in.

I love the Indigos. They have a song about everything.
