One Thousand Cuts

I saw my own shadow

I looked out the window

I walked on a rainbow

I wailed like a widow

 

I'm free as a spider

I'm still as a boulder

A horse and its rider

A nun and a soldier

 

Ooh, ooh

 

On my skin there have been one thousand cuts

And I know that I'm not what I was

Now my body is covered in love

Covered in love

 

I climbed up a mountain

I sang to the sunrise

I drank from the fountain

Of tears from a firefly

 

I'm dancing in starlight

I'm dreaming in color

I'm claiming my birthright

I'm feeding another

 

Ooh, ooh

 

On my skin there have been one thousand cuts

And I know that I'm not what I was

Now my body is covered in love

Covered in love

 

On my skin there have been one thousand cuts

And I know that I'm not what I was

Now my body is covered in love

Covered in love

Covered in love

Covered in love
