Independent Woman

STRUGGLES DON’T LAST ALWAYS
NEITHER DOES HAPPINESS
AS I ARRIVE TO WORK
I OPEN MY EYES TO SEE BIGGER AND BRIGHTER DAYS
EVEN MORE WAYS TO APPRECIATE NO ONE OTHER THAN ME
WHAT A STRONG WOMAN YOU ARE
THE SCENT OF JOY MUST BE SWEET
WHO’S THERE TO DEPEND ON
ANYONE BUT ME
WORK, LOVE, CHEER ON THE JOY OF LAUGHTER
IN REALITY, NOTHING MAKES YOU HAPPIER
WHAT A STRONG WOMAN YOU ARE
CHERISH INDEPENDENCE
WHAT ELSE DO YOU SEE
TAKE A WALK IN MY SHOES
SHOULD THE SIZE MATTER
I’M SURE THEY FIT ME
INDEPENDENT WOMEN 
TAKE NOTES
FOR MY WORDS WILL SET YOU FREE
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE A MOTHER LIKE ME
