Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester Ross |14 Minutes

[@nichollerodriguez7358]

I’ve sang this to my daughter since she was born. She’s 7 now and she’s began singing it back to me. My heart swells with pride. If I have anything to do with it she will stay savage.

[@happysmith6666]

I sing it to mine too. She was born sleeping; but I still feel like it’s her legacy every bit as much as it will ever be mine. 💖💖💖💖

I have sang this song to my now 11mo daughter as a lullaby almost every night..such a beautiful song

[@candilynnn]

My grandmother who was originally from Scandinavia and was like 89 when I was born used to sing a lullyby to me I never really knew what the words meant but never forgot the melody. The first night I heard this song I could not get the picture of my grandma rocking me as well as even at 99 showing me how to tell the difference between things like good wild mushrooms and poison ones. It is good to know I am even her savage grand daughter

[@canna-envydiyinfusions8199]

I sing this and dedicate this to the memories of of my Mother , grandmother and ancestors! In the Physical I am an Army of One , but in the spiritual my army marches with me ! I will NEVER LOWER MY VOICE !

Hi ShavaSue am I correct that there is a creative commons attribution license below the version you posted with the creator singing it? So my understanding is that she is giving permission for anyone to sing it. Am I right? ( But like you, and as I am an artist, I think the creator should always be acknowledged .)

I am my mother's savage daughter the one who runs barefoot, cursing sharp stones. I am my mother's savage daughter. I will not cut my hair. I will not lower my voice. My mother's child is a savage. She looks for her omens in the colors of stones, In the faces of cats and the fall of feathers, In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones. Chorus My mother's child dances in darkness , she sings heathen songs by the light of the moon And watches the stars and renames the planets and dreams she can reach them with a song and a broom. Chorus We all are brought forth out of darkness, into this world through blood and through pain. And deep in our bones, the Old songs are waking So sing them with voices of thunder and rain! We are our mother's savage daughter-- the ones who run barefoot, cursing sharp stones. We are our mother's savage daughters. We will not cut our hair. We will not lower our voice. (x3)
