I am as God made me I have no desire For a mouth at my breast Or a pot on the fire I heed the high voices I go where I'm sent To mow down the men Who refuse to repent I'm a scythe In a field full of briars
And they won't call me mother Or sister or wife They will know me or not By the strenght of my life I will burn with a light of my own They'll know me as Joan They'll know me as Joan
The courage of Catherine The flames of the forge The sword of Saint Michael The blood of Saint George I take what I'm given I follow my truth I gladly abandon The bloom of my youth I'm the lashing That falls from the scourge
And they won't call me mother Or sister or wife They will know me or not By the strenght of my life I will burn with a light of my own They'll know me as Joan They'll know me as Joan
I fight where God tells me I never ask why I've bloodied the devils That steal from on high I kill without consequence Heed no man's law Sift out the righteous Like grain from the straw I am judgment And heaven is nigh
And they won't call me mother Or sister or wife They will know me or not By the strenght of my life I will burn with a light of my own They'll know me as Joan
