Mongrelization

Mongrelization Verse 1 The universe keeps molding us Melting us together Throwing something new into the fire Changing us forever Just when we get comfortable Just when we think we know Mother Nature throws the curveball And says, “Now watch this grow” Something shifts Something breaks Something new begins to form The feminine creates the change So we never settle into norm Pre-Chorus I see the sparks throughout the ages Flashing bright and then they’re gone Crushed beneath the weight of history Then somehow they return again Same fire Different faces Same story Different names Chorus Mongrelization Melt it down Mongrelization Turn it around Black into white White into black Opposition pulls us And we keep pulling back They tell us to attack But we’re designed to attach Mongrelization You can’t stop that Verse 2 Everything fights for autonomy Everything wants to stay apart But something underneath it all Keeps pulling heart to heart White is drawn to black Black is drawn to white Man is drawn to woman Darkness reaches toward the light They can build a thousand walls They can teach us how to fear But you can’t separate the pieces Once they’ve already intertwined here Chorus Mongrelization Melt it down Mongrelization Turn it around Black into white White into black Opposition pulls us And we keep pulling back They tell us to attack But we’re designed to attach Mongrelization You can’t stop that Verse 3 Women don’t belong beneath men Men don’t belong above There’s no throne between the sexes There is difference There is love She creates He protects Both are necessary Neither one is less The feminine carries life The masculine carries force When they stop trying to dominate They can find a different course Not a hierarchy Not a war Not one standing over one Two different currents Making something Neither could have made alone Bridge We’ve been conditioned to divide To draw the line To choose a side But every time we separate Something calls us back again Attach Don’t attack Melt the metal Fold it back Over And over And over again Until the fracture disappears Verse 4 Maybe history is repetition Maybe sparks return through time Maybe every generation Gets another chance to realign Maybe I am just another spark From something burning long ago Maybe we’re all pieces of the pattern Trying to remember what we know And maybe this strange story Was never meant to be undone Maybe we’re becoming something new By becoming more than one Final Chorus Mongrelization Melt it down Mongrelization Turn it around Black into white White into black Opposition pulls us And we keep pulling back They tell us to attack But we’re designed to attach Mongrelization You can’t stop that Outro And when we finally settle Mother Nature laughs Throws another curveball And we start again New fire New fracture New fusion New form Mongrelization See you next time.
