[Verse] In a cabin by the whispering pines, Mama lay ill with no more time. Doctors shook their heads and walked away, But I can't let her slip; no, not today. [Verse 2] In the attic 'neath the moon's cruel light, I found a book with pages stitched tight. Old folk warned about the curses and blame, Said dark magic would seal my shame. [Chorus] I drew a circle in the dirt, chanting low, With roots and herbs from the forest below. Defying God and man, I took my stand, For a mother's love, I'd stain my hands. [Verse 3] Spirits swirled in an eerie dance, Echoes whispered, "Take the chance." Mama's breathing grew strong and clear, With each forbidden incantation near. [Bridge] Now the town speaks in fearful tones, Of the girl with magic in her bones. They'd cast me out if they truly knew, But love's a medicine too strong to eschew. [Chorus] I drew a circle in the dirt, chanting low, With roots and herbs from the forest below. Defying God and man, I took my stand, For a mother's love, I'd stain my hands.
