Women right is right against poverty
Right to human dignity, freedom and respect
We dream of a conquered future
With our voices together heard

We have pleaded to mother earth for assistance
The inspiration to mark our limitations
Sad enough to upturn blindness
To belief in miracles of what we never knew

No more shall our mortar music mob our ears
As our voices crushed the screams of rice
The gods are never angry, it is we?
They have provoked us to a fight

Eaten through our hearts we retaliated not
Make bitter cold our enduring sorrow
We the story was told without experience
I cared not as my daughter fells the chorus

I have danced to laziness
Under the canopy of ugly vultures
To defeat a bizarre armies of hatred
To terrorism on the day of Passover

All things are possible and different
Ours a great people in balanced gender
Action partners near to singular plus
A progress that possess our greatness

Told us to back off the stage for sage
Watch. Encourage. Waiting
Not real but stay at home for a call
And allow our spouse do the duty

Let the cry reach the heavens
Let your voice be heard like never before
Women right is human right, a call
Procreation is right to humanity

Set the stage and dance the floor
Equal opportunity at home and abroad
No divide one right to one
Good for goose. Good for gander!
