The Name of Eve
The Name of Eve
Laurie Rodriguez faces an impossible choice between her faith community and protecting her son Ben. Religious authorities question her spiritual worthiness for supporting him. She responds by claiming the name Eve and holding her ground, transforming an ancient story of shame into one of conviction and courage
Song Lyrics
I went to renew my temple recommend
Held to the fire for supporting my son
they’re chipping away at who i am
Think about the word worthy
The train is coming, they didn’t sound the horn
they just threw people under
They shouted “stay, stay
That’s the one thing im not gonna do
I took on the name eve,
Held my ground
They told him, “when you die
you’re gonna lose your family”
the wedge that was big enough
to break me out
I left the garden to find myself
my own sense of right and wrong
I’m part of something that’s part of me
a heritage that I can mold
I took on the name eve,
Held my ground
I took on the name eve,
Held my ground
