QUEERO- words and music by Rev. Yolanda
(reference songs: We Belong- Pat benetar and For Your Love- Krishna Das)

Om Kring Kalikaye Namaha (3x)
Vs. 1
I knew a girl
they called her Queero
She was my friend
she was my shero
we would proclaim
that we were witches
We'd cast spells
on bullies and bitches
Chorus:
We'd say
double double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble
(repeat G repeat D and back and forth)

(over the chant) Female voice
I burn away my shame
I burn away my pain
I am QUEERO
I am QUEERO

Vs 2:
In jr high 
she became a cheerleader
and I became 
the one who was queerer.
And when everyone else
Was embarrassed of me…
Queero became Like family
Chorus:
We'd say
double double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble
(repeat G repeat D and back and forth)

(over the chant)
burn away my shame
burn away my pain
I Am QUEERO
I Am QUEERO

BRIDGE:
My family moved away and we lost touch.
The pain of losing Queero was too much.
The memory of our friendship made me strong.
To face my hardships for may years to come.
My Facebook searches found the woman who grew from that girl.
I finally felt her loving embrace at my Mother's funeral.
Vs 3:
She's still my friend
she's still my shero
Living in our hometown
she fights for rights  
for all of us queeros. 
we still cast spells
on bullies and bitches.
cause me and Queero
Are powerful witches.

Chorus:
we say
double double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble (repeat)

(Add) Om Kring Kalikaye Namaha 

(add)
Burn away our shame
Burn away our pain
We are QUEERO
We are QUEERO

Om Kring Kalikaye Namaha (3x)
