I Speak For Me
I Speak For Me
A girl is a girl
A boy is a boy
Babes a blessing
Not a propaganda ploy
I am a woman
A woman I honor to be
This so called equality
Does not speak for me
Mankind is mankind
No beast evolved
My faith in our creator
Will not be dissolved
I speak as a woman
A woman freely to be
This called equality
Does not speak for me
You speak not from my mouth
As you promote human slaughter
You speak no truth in rights
For killing a son or daughter
You may deny for yourself
Your own blessed creation
Exploit your nakedness
Flaunt 'for the nations
While you shout and sing
Trade your beatuty for fight
Throw out your virtue
To wretchedness of night
I say I am a woman,
A woman God formed me
Your feministic slander
Does not speak for me
I am a woman
A woman honored to be
With virtue, truth, love
Speaking my equality
