They Are Women



They are women, hear them roar
Their numbers are too large to ignore
And they know too much to go back and pretend
Because they've heard it all before
And they've been down there on the floor
No one must push them back down there again

We know that they are wise
With a wisdom born of pain
They have paid a heavy price
And must now consolidate every gain

They can do anything
They are strong. and they are brave
They are indomitable
And nobody should enslave
A single woman

They may bend, but they won’t  break 
Pressure will only serve to make them
Them more resolute in pursuit of every goal
And they'll come back even stronger
They won’t be submissive any longer
Because of deep convictions flourish in my soul

We know that they are wise
With a wisdom born of pain
They have paid a heavy price
And must now consolidate every gain
So they don’t have to pay it twice

They can do anything
They are strong. and they are brave
They are indomitable
And nobody should enslave
Because they are women

They are woman, watch them stride
See them standing side-by-side
As they stretch their loving arms across the land
Though their work’s now well begun
It remains a long, long way from done
While we, my brothers, refuse to understand

We know that they are wise
With a wisdom born of pain
They have paid a heavy price
And must now consolidate every gain
So, they don’t have to pay it twice

They can do anything
They are strong. and they are brave
They are indomitable
And nobody should enslave
Because they are women

Oh, they are women
They are indomitable
They are strong
They are wonderful
They are inestimable
They are brave
They are beautiful
They are women!

They are women, listen to their voices roar
It is time to heed and not ignore
And they know too much to go back and pretend
Because they've heard it all before
And they've gotten off the floor
And nobody has the right to push them back down again
