Passing of Time

[Juçara Marçal: unknown backing vocals in Portuguese] [Moor Mother] It went straight through The passing of time It went straight through to my mother's hearts It went straight through to my father's heart And it's so soft It's so soft, it's so soft, it's so soft to the skin It's so soft to the skin when you land in the cotton fields of democracy It's so soft And my mama, my grandmama, my great grandmama, picked so much cotton, they picked so much cotton they saved the world, all by themselves, they saved the world And it's so soft It's so soft it's so soft it's so soft it's so soft It's so soft to the skin When you land in the cotton fields of democracy (democracy, democracy) And my mama, my grandmama, my great great great grandmama, picked so much cotton, they saved the world, all by themselves The passing of time (of time, of time)
