Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

bODYMINE is an anthem to embodiment. after withstanding an eating disorder that almost killed me, i trained to become a body-based psychotherapist. when i wrote this song, i was working with women, in groups and individually, in new york city. several years later, i began dancing improvisationally in groups of people with and without physical disabilites. bODYMINE took on a whole next level of significance.

Lyrics

I was schooled to scorn the flesh
I learned to love the bone
Chasing magazine silhouettes
I disowned my own 

Sweet vessel, bodyMine
Won't you be my home?
We've been separated too long 

I'm a veteran of this endless
Siege against myself 
Don't know how this war got started 
I just fought like hell

Sweet vessel, bodyMine 
Won't you be my home? 
We've been separated too long 

How can I undo what's done? 
Heal the ancient wound 
For so long this bodySong 
Was full of pain and full of shame

Now I hear a different voice 
Callling sweet and low 
Telling me that I have been set free

Sweet vessel, bodyMine
I've been so alone
Praise the day you welcomed me 
Back home

Praise the day you welcomed me
Praise the day you welcomed me
Praise the day you welcomed me
Back home 

Sweet vessel, bodyMine
