Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Each of these
My three babies
I will carry with me
For myself
I ask no one else will be
Mother to these three
[Verse 2]
And of course
I'm like a wild horse
But there's no other way I could be
Water and feed
Are not tools that I need
For the thing that I've chosen to be
[Verse 3]
In my soul
My blood and my bones
I have wrapped your cold bodies around me
The face on you
The smell of you
Will always be with me
[Chorus]
Each of these
My three babies
I was not willing to leave
Though I tried
I blasphemed and denied
I know they will be returned to me
[Verse 4]
Each of these
My babies
Have brought you closer to me
No longer mad like a horse
I'm still wild but not lost
From the thing that I've chosen to be
[Verse 5]
And it's 'cause you've thrilled me
Silenced me, stilled me
Proved things I never believed
[Bridge]
The face on you
The smell of you
Will always be with me
[Chorus]
Each of these
My three babies
I will carry with me
For myself
[Outro]
I ask no one else will be
Mother to these three
