~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This song was written for all the girls who had no choice but to marry young and became a child wife.
When I wrote this song I thought about my grandmother and many young girls like her. I thought I was writing about historical events, an old story, and then came to learn that this story, is sadly still one of many young girls in our world today.
I dedicate this song to Hellen Nkuraiya And
Esther Naini, the Maasai women who help girls escape female genital mutilation and forced marriage.
Hellen is a very special Maasai woman who has been working for girls like Esther Naini for years. She is providing shelter and education for these Maasai girls with her school Enkiteng Lepa. She has also set up a shelter village for Maasai widows.
This work moves me deeply.
In honour of these women and girls, I dedicate this song.

Lyrics:

Mama oh Mama don’t send me away
In your safe loving arms I just want to stay
I know he brings honor
And I know he has means
But I don’t love him and I’m only Thirteen

There’s no other choice daughter
No other choice
For the world isn’t ready for the strength of your voice
Put on your ring daughter
Put on your ring
We’re the slaves of today
But tomorrow we’ll sing

I wanna go to school
Mama I want to go to school
To make my own money
And to live by my rules
I got a million ideas running free in my mind
Why then oh Mama, can’t my life be mine

There’s no other choice daughter
No other choice
For the world isn’t ready for the strength of your voice
Suck it all in daughter
Suck it all in
We’re the slaves of today
But tomorrow we’ll sing

Freyja! Freyja! Freyja
Come on Freyja come on
Freyja! Freyja! Freyja
Oh what have we done

Mama oh mama up in the sky
In service and lien my best years passed me by
His legacy while mine withered away
What can I offer my daughter today

Unconditional love to helpless baby
In your tears and your pain hides a sweet remedy
Between mother and daughter the thread lives in the wind
We’re the slaves of today
But tomorrow we’ll sing
Freyja! Freyja! Freyja
Come on Freyja come on
Freyja! Freyja! Freyja
Oh what have we done
Freyja! Freyja! Freyja
Come on Freyja come on
Freyja! Freyja! Freyja
Oh what have we done
We’re the slaves of today
But tomorrow we’ll sing

In 2016, Her song “Prayer Of The Mothers”, originally written to support the Women Wage Peace Movement, went viral on social media. In the video, thousands of Palestinian and Israeli women unite in a winding march of hope in the desert sands of the Middle East.

Like Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, Yael has been recognized by many people as a groundbreaking musical activist of our time.

Yael performs internationally throughout Israel, Europe and the USA, where she has become more and more active in using her music to inspire positive change and support non-violent communication between cultures that are in conflict, emphasising the necessity of women leadership.
