One Woman: A Song For UN Women

In Kigali she wakes up

She makes a choice

In Hanoi Natal Ramallah

In Tangier she takes a breath

Lifts up her voice

In Lahore La Paz Kampala

Though she's half a world awa

Something in me wants to say

We are One Woman

You cry and I hear you

We are One Woman

You hurt and I hurt too

We are One Woman

Your hopes are mine

And we shall shine

In Juarez she speaks the truth

She reaches out

Then teaches others how to

In Jaipur she gives her name

She lives without shame

In Manila Salta Embu

Though we're different as can be

We're connected she with me

We are One Woman

Your courage keeps me strong

We are One Woman

You sing I sing along

We are One Woman

Your dreams are mine

And we shall shine

We shall shine

And one man he hears her voice

And one man he fights her fight

Day by day he lets go the old ways

One Woman at a time

Though she's half a world away

Something in me wants to say

We are One Woman

Your victories lift us all

We are One Woman

You rise and I stand tall

We are One Woman

Your world is mine

And we shall shine

Shine shine shine

We shall shine

Shine shine shine

We shall shine

Shine shine shine
