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)
