Empowering WOMAN

ONE WOMAN

In Kigali, she wakes up,

She makes a choice,

In Hanoi, Natal, Ramallah.

In Tangier, she takes a breath,

Lifts up her voice,

In Lahore, La Pas, Kampala.

Though she’s half a world away

Something in me wants to say…..

We are One Woman,

You cry and I hear you.

We are One Woman,

You hurt, and I hurt, too.

We are One Woman,

Your hopes are mine.

And we shall shine.

In Juarez she speaks the truth,

She reaches out,

Then teaches others how to.

In Jaipur, she gives her name,

She lives without shame

In Manila, Salta, Embu.

Though we’re different as can be,

We’re connected, she with me

We are One Woman,

Your courage keeps me strong.

We are One Woman,

You sing, I sing along.

We are One Woman,

Your dreams are mine.

And we shall shine.

We shall shine.

And one man, he hears her voice.

And one man, he fights her fight.

Day by day, he lets go the old ways,

One Woman at a time.

Though she’s half a world away,

 Something in me wants to say,

 We are One Woman,

Your victories lift us all.

We are One Woman,

You rise and I stand tall.

We are One Woman,

Your world is mine.

And we shall shine.

Shine, shine, shine.

We shall shine,

Shine, shine, shine.

We shall shine.

Shine, shine, shine.
