The Way
Women who know their way
May know a different path
Embracing their own power
They are the ones who lead
And see truth as it is
A woman who understands
Knows with everyday struggles
Not to succumb to weakness
Rise above suppression
Then dare to be seen
And stand among others
Proud, strong and bold
Still graceful and loving
They have kept an open heart
A free spirit and open mind
The way was not always easy
But the reward is well worth it
Old temptation lingers on
If it speaks, it’s voice is old
Because it is a voice of the past
Today women know themselves

Hymn
One night I sang from my heart
I prayed to her I prayed to him
Why does religion keep us apart
Then I heard this hymn
It doesn’t matter what you are
I see you all the same
You live with the animals and the trees
The sun the wind the rain
This earth was made for everyone
My daughter and my son
So don’t forget my child
There is room for everyone

Sister
Sister feel your power
Have a little faith
Sister don’t let no one
Steer you from your way
When the road that you walk down
Doesn’t show a clear path
Follow that voice inside you
And you will find it at last
Sister feel your power
Have a little faith
Sister don’t let no one
Steer you from your way
You were born an innocent child
That is how you will be
The answers are inside you
So hold on and believe
Sister feel your power
In your body heart and soul
The answers are inside you
And they will lead you to your home
Sister feel your power
The footsteps you are traveling will guide you on your own
Feel the power-your path will lead you home
Your path will lead you home
Your path will lead you home
