It is an ancient practice that has been perpetuated in many communities around the world, simply follow the customs that make up an important part of ceremonial rites of passage to adulthood. The primary objective of this mutilation, is to keep young people in the control of sexuality, but mostly of her virginity before marriage and chastity after marriage.
Another example is that of some African countries that rely on puberty ceremonies, in which girls undergo scarification (scarring caused by hot iron, caustic paste, etc.) In the womb, as a rite of passage not to be infertile; are scrapings in the womb, as x-ray of the baby, similar to those that were carved female figures (representations of the goddess), with dancing in fertility ceremonies.

' YESTERDAY '

Yesterday, There was so many things
I was never told
Now that I'm startin' to learn
I feel I'm growing old

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
In my book of memories
Prayers in my pocket
And no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along
With no time to plant my feet

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
If we'd all just let them be

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Got nothin' for me

Yesterday, There was so many things
I was never shown
Suddenly this time I found
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday

EYE OF THE TIGER '

Risin' up, back on the street
took my time, took my chances
went the distance
now i'm back on my feet
just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happened too fast
you trade your passion for glory
don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
you must fight just to keep them alive
1-it's the eye of the tiger
it's the thrill of the fight
risin' up to the challenge
of our rival
and the last known survivor
stalks his prey in the night
and his fortune must always be
eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
they stack the odds
still we take to the street
for the kill with the skill to survive
(repeat 1)
Risin' up straight to the top
had the guts, got the glory
went the distance
now i'm not gonna stop
just a man and his will to survive
(repeat 1)
The eye of the tiger

IMAGINE '

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
And no Hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no country
It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no posessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
Or Brotherhood of Man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one

And maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one...
