book

lyrics

There are some books in my shelf that are so precious to me
because you told me I should read them

And I try to get my head around it to follow your advice
and then I really fail amazingly

Ah yes, this text about – hm, what was it again
that you say is important for my understanding

You say I cannot talk about it if I havent read that
and then I doubt my own experience

what about my own perception
it is worth the same as yours
what about my own perception
it is worth the same as yours

To live a feminist life is to make everything
into something that is questionable. (1)

There are some texts around that really point out good stuff
they talk about love and caring

Oh yes, please read them and then share them and then care about them
I trust that this is really worth it

I so enjoy this knowledge sharing and I trust this is possible
because I‘ve seen it in my own life

what about your own perception
it is worth the same as mine
what about your own perception
it is worth the same as mine

staying with the trouble (2), yes dear
not taking anything for granted
staying with the trouble, yes dear
that‘s what we‘re all entitled to

Reni Hofmüller
