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 Paz, Kampala
Though she's half a world awa
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
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
