I AM THE VOICE OF A WOMAN

i AM THE VOICE OF A WOMAN

I am the voice of a woman

With a very caring heart,

The troubles in this world

Are tearing me apart.

I want to stand up and be counted

To storm and never cease

Until the world for our children

Becomes a place of peace.,

Alone my voice is quiet

And my tears fall on hard ground,

But if we join together 

Then strength in numbers is found.

We can challenge the Politician,

The Professor and the Police,

We can join hands around the world

And we can pray for peace.

We can fight for freedom,

For justice for our brother,

By taking some action

We can care for one another.

We can try to change the laws

So that our hearts can rest,

We shall stand tall and strong

If we are put to the test.

Let’s hope that by linking hands

In love around the world,

Freedom’s sweet flag

Will one day be unfurled.
