     One Woman

(Subtitulada Español)

                                       
    One Woman                           

In Kigali, she wakes up,
She makes a choice,
In Hanoi, Natal, Ramallah.
In Tangier, she takes a breath,                                                  
Lifts up her voice,
In Lahore, La Paz, Kampala.
Though she's half a world away
Something in me wants to say ...

We are One Woman,

You cry and I hear you.
We are One Woman,
You hurt, and I hurt, too.
We are One Woman,
Your hopes are mine.
We shall shine.

In Juarez she speaks the truth,
She reaches out,
Then teaches others how to.
In Jaipur, she gives her name,
She lives without shame
In Manila, Salta, Embu.
Though we're different as can be,
We're connected, she with me



We are One Woman,
Your courage keeps me strong.
We are One Woman,
You sing, I sing along.
We are One Woman,
Your dreams are mine.

And we shall shine.
We shall shine.


And one man, he hears her voice.
And one man, he fights her fight.
Day by day, he lets go the old ways,
One Woman at a time.
Though she's half a world away,
Something in me wants to say.

We are One Woman,
       Our victories lift us all.   
       We are One Woman,
       You rise and I stand tall.
W    We are One Woman,
       Our world is mine
       And we shall shine.
       Shine, shine, shine.
W    We shall shine
       Shine, shine, shine.
W    We shall shine.
       Shine, shine, shine.
