Women's Empowerment

This is for the ladies who do nothing shady 
 live, laugh & cry
 As time goes by a beckoning call
 to relish in the memories of your past

 Having so much fun with the hope that it would last
 learning something new just waiting to be grasped
 women's liberation heading across the nation
 The roles that you have adapted to are your own

 Searching to move ahead of the male dominate strain
 not seeing you again is driving me insane
 We have come this far not to turn back now
 Free speech, abortion rights & love

 From the beginning you had a plan
 to try to stick it to the man
 It is my hope you will understand
 love is the essence of your existence

 A cause to unite with the fight
 voices with choices & employment
 long lines in the sand
 Your rights are deserved you shine bright

 As a beacon of light to a hurting world in need
 let us learn a lesson from those before us
 something special, new & glorious
 Light to torch that ignites the eternal flame before us

 The sound of an amazing chorus
