My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I will take your heart.
I will take your soul out of your body
As though I were God.
I will not be satisfied
With the little words you say to me.
I will not be satisfied
With the touch of your hand
Nor the sweet of your lips alone.
I will take your heart for mine.
I will take your soul.
I will be God when it comes to you.

There's a rebel lying deep in my soul.

When peoples care for you and cry for you, they can straighten out your soul.

Above all else, deep in my soul, I'm a tough Irishwoman.
