RISE

RISE,

WOMEN RISE.

NOT JUST BLACK AND WHITE,

BUT ALL WOMEN ALIKE.



STAND UP.

RISE,

STAND TALL

AND SHINE.



WE ARE STRONG.

WE ARE NEEDED.

IF IT WASN'T FOR OUR STRENGTH

AND

OUR COURAGE.

WHO?,

WHO WOULD BARE CHILDREN?

WHO?,

WHO WOULD BE THERE FOR OUR MEN TO HELP THEM TO KEEP GOING WHEN A SPLINTER IS STUCK IN THEIR BABY TOE?



WOE! WOE!

WOE!!



RISE,

SHINE,

STAND TALL.

WE HAVE TO BE THERE FOR ALL.

LET NOTHING STAND IN YOUR WAY.



DAY BY DAY,

WE ARE SIFTING THROUGH THE HAY.

NO STRAW CAN BREAK OUR BACK.



SO...



WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

OPEN UP YOUR EYES,

LOOK DEEP DOWN INSIDE.

YOU WILL BE SUPRISED FOR WHAT YOU WILL FIND

IS

THE STRENGTH OF

ONE MILLION BULLS

AND

THE COURAGE OF

ONE HOUNDRED MILLION

WAR PERSONS.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

LADIES WE HAVE TO STAND TOGETHER. HELP ONE ANOTHER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, WE ARE STRONG. SMILE ....LET THE SUN SHINE THROUGH.
