about

About her song that will be part of a compilation of pro-choice songs, Kira says; “I am honored to gift a track to The Red Album: Pagan Voices for Reproductive Rights. I was inspired to write Hands Off! Bans Off! as a call to action, speaking out against politicalization of human rights and support the cause of bodily autonomy.  I also hope it helps those who have suffered trauma find a voice, or use mine, to speak up for themselves.”

lyrics

Yeah
Hands Off! Bans Off!
Ugh
Hands off!
Bans off!
-Gotta keep your bans off me

My body is a temple
Not your property
I don’t follow your faith
Don’t put your sin on me

My body is my own
And not an incubator
It is a sacred vessel
it’s a blessing generator

My body gives me pleasure
In touch, taste, and laughter
I use it how I want
Your opinion doesn’t matter

My body is my home
To live and to love in
It’s not your business
What’s in my oven

My body is a shrine
The goddess gave to me
To protect, you respect
I decide my destiny

My body’s my expression
To dress, paint, change,
Male, female, in-between,
None or rearrange

My bo-dy is sacred
Seat of heart and soul
Any color, shape or size
Weather young or old

My body is a blessing
Born to be free
Keep your hands and Your bans
Far away from me

My body is amazing
life it can create
But it’s My body! my choice!
My life! my fate!

My body can nurture
And grow a family
I decide to or not
it’s called autonomy

My body will travel
Through Space and Time
next life, next body
The choice is still mine

My bodys born of nature
The Elements manifest
In the circle spiraling
god and goddess blessed

-Say it!
Hands Off! Bans Off!
Hands Off!
Bans Off!
Ugh
Hands Off! Bans Off!
-Gotta keep ya hands off, bans off me!

My body is a temple
My body is my own
My body gives me pleasure
My body is my home

My body is a shrine
My body’s my expression
My bo-dy is sacred
My body is a blessing

My body is amazing
My body can nurture
My body will travel
My body born of nature

My body, born of nature
Elements manifest
In the circle spiraling
god and goddess blessed

Yeah
Hands off bans off
-Gotta keep your hands off bans off me
Ugh
Hands Off! Bans Off!
-Gotta vote for bodily autonomy
Yeah
Hands Off! Bans Off!
-Gotta fight till every - body is free
Ugh
Hands Off! Bans Off!
Say it!
