Oh, Inanna, oh queen and mother
Your inspiration has given me the courage to face the dark
To take the pain within and transform it.

Hold me now and rock your daughter in her tears,
Give me strength to hold the path
Give me the power to find my way back.

Oh, mother, let me dance again in your glory
Let me dance in the flame and not burn
Turn weakness to compassion, turn pain to passion.

Oh, Inanna, I am thy child and thy lover
You have given me back my senses and my mind
You have demanded their service to you.

Oh, lover, hold me in your arms and sing to me
Bring me out of darkness into the light
Let the faces of love guide me.

Oh, child, let me be strong to answer thy call to me
Let me bring you from darkness and cold
Let me bring you home to shelter in my arms.

My arms ache for you, my heart weeps to hold you
I understand your fear and pain,
Please, mother, give me the strength for my child.

I am your child, I am your lover,
I am mother/lover/daughter.
I will be reborn again.
