LET DOWN YOUR HAIR
MARY
LET DOWN YOUR HAIR
TOO LONG
HAVE MEN SHACKLED YOU
AND HIDDEN YOUR BEAUTY
LET DOWN YOUR HAIR
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MESSAGE
THAT WHAT GOD CREATES
IS GOOD
LET DOWN YOUR HAIR
THE TOMB OF LAZARUS WAS OPEN
AND AIRING
THE STONE ROLLED AWAY
THE STENCH OF DEATH
WAS MASKED BY SPICES
BUT THE PARTY
WAS IN THE HOUSE
CELEBRATING LAZARUS RETURN
BUT MARY FELT A SADNESS
A PREMONITION REALLY
SOMETHING
WOMEN CAN DO
SHE SENSED DEATH IN THE AIR
AND MOVED BY SOME ETERNAL
FEMININE FORCE
TOOK NARD
A FUNERAL SPICE
WASHED HIS FEET FIRST
WITH TEARS
DRIED THEM
WITH HER LOOSENED HAIR
AND ANOINTED HIM FOR DEATH
SO MUCH WASTE THE ENRONS CRIED
AND GRASPED THE MONEY BAG
BUT JESUS SAID
PROTECTING MARY
THE POOR
WILL ALWAYS BE HERE
BUT YOU ONLY BURY ME ONCE.
