Вступление
[Verse 1]
Bb F Gm Eb
In the church where I was raised, all the women hid their hair
Cm F Bb
With what can only be called doilies made of lace
Bb F Gm Eb
They sat beside their husbands and they never spoke a word
Cm F Bb
Cause public prayer was not a woman's place
[Verse 2]
Bb F Gm Eb
But literally any man was welcome to stand up
Cm F Bb
And for an hour we would listen to them talk
Bb F Gm Eb
So I guess the lesson there was God would only hear a prayer
Cm F Bb
If it came from a person with a cock
[Verse 3]
Bb F Gm Eb
As a kid those Sunday mornings made me restless, bored, and numb
Cm F Bb
And my Bible was the one way to pass time
Bb F Gm Eb
So I spent the hour in search of stories brimming with suspense
Cm F Bb
And I found Esther, Ruth, and Rahab were sublime
[Chorus]
Gm F Bb Eb
Castaways who outwitted and outplayed
Cm F Eb Bb
An immigrant ancestor to the incarnate divine
Gm F Bb Eb
Everyone has a star that lights their way
Cm F Gm
We see our paths by someone else's shine
Cm F Bb
Esther, Ruth, and Rahab, they were mine
[Verse 4]
Bb F Gm Eb
Every Sunday I would find a brand-new story with a girl
Cm F Bb
Who made some patriarch meet his match
Bb F Gm Eb
They were painted as conniving but it wasn't hard to see
Cm F Bb
That secretly most men just fear the snatch
[Verse 5]
Bb F Gm Eb
Deborah's military mind brought peace for forty years
Cm F Bb
The Witch of Endor, she saw right through Saul's charade
Bb F Gm Eb
Of course Eve said, Fuck this system, I am chasing after wisdom
Cm F Bb
And Rachel wouldn't let herself be played
[Verse 6]
Bb F Gm Eb
Jezebel sure gave 'em hell, but she wasn't scared to die
Cm F Bb
If you're with Jael, think twice when you recline
Bb F Gm Eb
The only reason we have Moses is cause Miriam was there
Cm F Bb
To keep his petty ass in line
[Chorus]
Gm F Bb Eb
Castaways who outwitted and outplayed
Cm F Eb Bb
An immigrant ancestor to the incarnate divine
Gm F Bb Eb
Everyone has a star that lights their way
Cm F Gm
We see our paths by someone else's shine
Cm F Bb
Esther, Ruth, and Rahab, they were mine
[Bridge]
Cm Bb Eb
When they talk about the heroes of the faith
Cm Bb Gm F
They always mean Elijah, Abraham, or Dave
Gm F Bb Eb
But Esther, Ruth, and Rahab, for me were just as big
Cm Bb Gm F
I wanted to be like them, so I bought myself this wig
[Outro]
Bb F Gm Eb
My church insisted women all be small, submissive, and unseen
Cm F Bb
But their own holy book betrayed that lie
F Gm Eb
Cause in those pages you'll find badass, rebel warriors and queens
Bb F Gm Eb
Prophetesses, witches, whores and wives all causing scenes
Bb F Gm Eb
Every woman in the Scriptures smashed the norms to smithereens
Cm F Gm
So it's a good thing when a girl learns how to fly
Cm F Eb Bb
And that's one truth from the Bible I'll hold onto 'til I die
