Woman

Black woman
Strong, black woman 
You come from a mighty land,
Your skin is made from God's pure earth,
Strong, black woman you're beautiful 
You are made by a king 
Walk like the champion you are,
You were crowned the Queen of the land
Back and strong and proud to be a woman . 
You rise from the struggle 
You grow from the pain 
Strong, black woman 
Head held high you are not afraid of the shackles.
Strong and black and proud to be woman .
