She Must Rise
From behind the curtain
The shadow stirs
Waiting
For the call
For so long she has waited
In the wings
Waiting
For the right time
The time to make her voice be heard
The time to lead the way
The time to stand up and be sure
That they can save the day
The call was unexpected
But a call so strong it hurt
Pulling hearts around the world
The time to rise has come
They gained the strength to rise alone
Independently and free
But united in their chorus song
Their cry for love and peace
Each one taking on the work
To share their love with all
Whilst taking full responsibility
For the reason they were born
She must rise from the oppression
She must rise from hatred, scorn
She must rise with all her confidence
And rise from countries torn
She must rise from her own anger
She must rise through her own fear
She must rise through life's uncertainties
Until she makes it clear
She has a right to live a life of love, freedom and peace
She has a right to meet her needs without facing grief
She has a right to overcome everything that does not fill her heart
With everything that she deserves
She has a right to rise
She pulls away the mask of who you thought she should become
Revealing her authentic love
That we should live as one
She rises up to be her self in all her glory given
She rises from the inside out
Her heart beating to the rhythm
Out into the spotlight bright
They face their Center stage
Each sharing their unique gifts
To begin- the Golden Age
She rises with her spirit full
Independent, financially
She rises up to share her gifts
Rising confidently
