Skipping Stones - Mia Doi Todd

Skipping stones

Glad to be home

I’m still alive

Water the plants

Do a little dance

In the meantime

This is where I am

This is where I stand

Skipping stones

Time on my own

I can hear my breath

And the return

Making me burn

To be myself

Wondering if I can

Be a good woman

A good woman, a good woman

A good woman, a good woman

Skipping stones

Answering the phone

I know your voice

Medicine to me

Making me free

To be myself

Show me what I am

A very good woman

For such a good man, such a good man

A good woman, for such a good man

Skipping stones

Glad to be alone

With you at last

I am yours

And you are mine

If love can last

Skipping stones

Glad to be alone

With you at last
