A hard rain is falling
Trouble is clouding my mind
No one is home waiting for me
And I can't find the reason or rhyme
I hear you sing how I got over
And straight to my heart your voice lands
So I move in a little closer
'Cause you make me feel like I can
Mahalia, Mahalia
I'm reaching back now to you
Mahalia, Mahalia
You were a woman too
When you traveled this world, you moved mountains
You answered your call when it came through
But I wonder, did you have a shoulder to lean on
When your long day was through
Mahalia, Mahalia
I'm reaching back now to you
Mahalia, Mahalia
You were a woman too
And you gave to a world that never had your back
The bomb, the bomb, the very bomb of Gilead
Mahalia, oh, Mahalia
I'm reaching back now to you
Mahalia, Mahalia
You were a woman, you were a woman
You, you were a woman too
