a song of solidarity with women

lyrics

V1
I've always known you strike a smile
In the company of strangers
Commit to walk the extra mile
When it came to friends in dangers
(my sister)

I often see your head held high
Even when in some discomforts
Keeping your pain hid inside
I think your dignity comes first
(my sister)

CH1
And I've loved you more
Than my words can say
As a man that's hard to do
It's not who I fall for
Not predator and prey
Just a brother standing by you

V2
I've had friends who've only known
A woman's face stare down upon them
When helpless and not fully grown
She was their only bright star shining
(my sister)

I've had girls who strung along
I never touched but was touched by
Whose need to be loved was so strong
You'd see them get hurt, you'd see them cry
(my sister)

CH2
Through the longest ages
Men and women struggled
To survive in violent and harsh times
And they somehow managed
To help each other
You would think that those were hopeful signs

V3
You often laugh when you're distressed
Methinks you simply love to laugh
And it's not only in your dress
The same love of beauty that I have
(my sister)

We're the same in most respects
We want to find a way to shine
Money has us too oppressed
To fight over what's yours or mine
(my sister)

CH1
And I've loved you more
Than my words can say
As a man that's hard to do
It's not who I fall for
Not predator and prey
Just a brother standing by you
(my sister, my sister, my sister)
