Universal Mother

Brothers, sisters, fathers, and sons, brothers, daughters
The offspring sounds the chord of change
Love and kindness to flow
Compassion soothes all woes
Universal Mother, let yourself go!
The inside is not, the outside it too
See yourself through
Love and kindness soothes all woes
Universal Mother, let yourself flow!
I’d like to tell y’all a story about my grandmother
She’s so sweet we call her «Na-Na»
But her real name is Annie Shelati Marie-Toombs-Fulson-Evans-Green-Nash Nelson
Now my mama’s nam is Daisy McGee
Yeah, we come from th other side of the tracks, Watts
But the sun shines in Watts, there’s smiles in Watts and there’s love in Watts
And I think even now the Dahmer’s in Watts—the Dahmer’s everywhere
What I’ve discovered from this university of life is karma
Yeah, that’s actually it
Trying to work out my karma, in a positive way
But I’ve learned to accept that negative and tried to turn that into positive
Trying to work out the karma
