We Need a Better Word Lyrics

It seems to me we need a better word
To fill the gap between the facts of what we say and what we've learned
When absolutely damn near every mother that I’ve known
Has miscarried and lost a baby a time or time before
It seems to me we need a better word

It seems to me that someone needs to say
As simple and as open and as obvious and plain
Cause the shame is in the secret and the secret is the shame
When absolutely damn near every mother that I've known
Has miscarried and lost a baby and held herself to blame
It seems to me that someone needs to say

It's just a word, as if she dropped it on the floor
It’s just a word, as if it's something she did wrong

It seems to me our bodies know what's right
An ancient meditation on the chemistry of life
A thousand generations casting blessings in disguise
When absolutely damn near every mother that I've known
Has lost a baby and felt it carried off into the light
It seems to me our bodies know what's right

It's just a word, as if she dropped it on the floor
It's just a word, as if it's something she did wrong

Seems to me we’ve all defied the odds
Cause to lie among the living is to fly among the gods
To share themother’s heartbeat and to pass the mother's blood
And absolutely every single time a baby’s born
It chose to be and knows to be the holiest of forms
Seems to me we've all defied the odds

It's just a word, as if she dropped it on the floor
It's just a word, as if it’s something she did wrong

It seems to me we need a better word
