The Witch Song

Who were the witches? Where did they come from?

Maybe your great, great grandmother was one

Witches were wise, wise women they say

And there's a little witch in every woman today

Witches knew all about flowers and weeds,

How to use their roots and their leaves and their seeds

When people grew weary from hard working days,

They made them feel better in so many ways

When women had babies the witches were there

To hold them and help them and give them care

Witches knew stories of how life began

Don't you wish you could be one? Well, maybe you can

Some people thought that the witches were bad

Some people were scared of the power they had

But power to help and heal and to care,

Isn't something to fear, it's a pleasure to share
