Come, Life, Shaker Life! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When they're sure the men are gone
The women sing their favorite song
Our sound spins us around
There is no braying
Voices long ago drowned
Now sound again

[Chorus]
Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal
I'll take nimble steps
I'll be a David
I'll show Michael twice
How he behaved
Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal

[Verse 2]
When they're sure the men are gone
The women sing their favorite song
Our sound spins us around
There is no braying
Voices long ago drowned
Now sound again

[Chorus]
Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal
I'll take nimble steps
I'll be a David
I'll show Michael twice
How he behav-ed
Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal
