Striking a Blow For Freedom:Confident, Courageous and Called

Women have been battered and abused Since day one Systemic domestic violence We are so done A movement has started #me too That has opened up the doors To shine a light and give a voice to those Who say "I ain't gonna take it no more" No longer will women be silent Not passive in their behavior Dauntless and determined Like Jesus The Christ our Saviour It's time for all women to step up To be bold and speak out loud That freedom ain't free Our lives do matter, no longer to be enshroud Striking a blow for freedom Against our oppression Righteous indignation We are so now stressing Now focused on what we have And not what we don't Letting our faith empower us Falling back we no longer won't Faithful, fearless and fighting just to be free No more abuse, no more battery Destined for greatness we've always known That one will always reap whatever one sows Now as daring women of impact Confident, courageous and called Striking a blow for freedom Our hands fisted and balled For with God before us victory is guaranteed Feisty and forceful yeah that's We And like the mighty Alpine ibex goat We will climb and scale new heights Up the rough side of the mountain With only one goal in sight To eradicate our abusers By any means at all Women of impact # not me too Confident,courageous and called Stepping out on faith Trusting in the God we all love and know And symbolically like Jael with hammer in hand For freedom we'll strike a blow Striking a blow for freedom Decisive we now act We are women liberators We are women of impact
