I am woman, Can you hear my voice?

CATEGORY

I am your mother, your sister, your aunt
I am your grandmother, your cousin, your friend
What must I do to convince you
Must I cry, scream, or whisper
Can you hear my voice?

I am the maid of the rich slave owners
Scrubbing floors and washing dishes
Just to feed my children for one more day
Just to ensure they are safe from the whip
Can you hear my voice?

I am the activist
Crying out against injustice
Fighting for the rights of all women
Putting my life on the line for freedom
Can you hear my voice?

I am the working girl
Working hard to survive
Doing twice as much for half as much as man
Struggling to prove my worth to the world
Can you hear my voice?

I am the Business woman
Showing the bosses I have what it takes
Working to get the position worth my talents
Mentoring the young to achieve great things
Can you hear my voice?

I am woman
Always present and fighting for my family
Always strong and guiding the young
Always happy , caring and free
Can you hear my voice?
