Lyrics:

Chorus:
I am the kitchen of the Goddess
My womb is the kettle of time
I’m cooking up a child in my belly pot
Cauldron of creation, I make life

My stewpot holds the broth of
ancestor’s legacies
She pours in spirit
A unique person comes to be
(chorus)

I keep the hearth fire burning
I keep the cauldron clean
She stirs and measures
It’s a baby recipe

She’s puttering around in me
She’s rifling in my pantry
With a smile on her face, She adds magic to taste
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, in my yummy tummy
(chorus)

My child’s fate develops
Stirred by gestation dreams
Spiced with Her blessings
Simmering deliciously(chorus)
