Lyrics:
We are on track to write a revolution
Look to the past, don’t pick another young son
‘Cause I’m building up my empire out of dust
Will it ever be good enough?
I know being born this way is hard
When daddy thinks you’re not gonna go far
But I know that I’m gonna be a star
‘Cause I feel in my heart
Jesus was a woman
Jesus was a woman
I’ve spent sleepless nights with my lovers and friends
Now I’ve seen the light, I’m never going back again
‘Cause we only need a little love to live
And I’ve got so much to give
I know being born this way is hard
(But I try)
When daddy thinks you’re not gonna go far
(Woman, woman, woman, woman)
But I know that I’m gonna be a star
(I know why)
‘Cause I feel in my heart
(Woman, woman, woman, woman)
Jesus was a woman
Jesus was a woman
Heavenly father you had a daughter
Tell me you didn’t send her away
Tell me you loved her, that you were proud of her
Can you at least tell me her name?
I know being born this way is hard
When daddy thinks you’re not gonna go far
But I know that I’m gonna be a star
‘Cause I feel in my heart
I am Jesus I’m a woman
But no one will remember my name
Yeah I will be forgotten
But I loved them all just the same
You can come to me anytime you go astray
I am Jesus I’m a woman
You can come and you can stay
(woman woman woman woman)
I am Jesus I’m a woman
You can come and you can stay
(woman woman woman woman)
I am Jesus I’m a woman
You can come and you can stay
(woman woman woman woman)
I am Jesus I’m a womaaaaaaaaan
(Woman woman woman woman woman woman woman woman woman)

Doubt I'll ever believe any of the religious superstitious nonsense, but if I ever could, I'd find it much easier to believe jeebus WAS a woman. The people of that time would be likely to change her gender to fit their own superstitions, just as they do here and now. And I like this voice, and the heart she puts into it. Thanks, Rae!

Love hearing your take on this. I feel the same about how history was likely warped, better to invent our own versions anyway
