Woman Rise
A song made by shedrach john
African woman oh
Strong like iron, soft like water
E choke!
From the village to the city
She dey carry heavy load, no pity
Cook the food, mind the pikin dem
Still they tell her say she no fit lead them
Wake up early, sleep late night
Her own dreams dey hide from sight
But her spirit strong, e no go die
She go rise up, touch the sky
Woman rise, woman shine
Your time don come, this na your time
Woman rise, break the chain
Through the struggle, through the pain
Woman rise! (Woman rise!)
Woman rise! (Woman rise!)
Hallelujah!
They say stay quiet, know your place
But she done tire of the disgrace
She want equal pay for equal work
She want respect, not just the hurt
She be mother, she be queen
Strongest thing you ever seen
From Lagos to Nairobi land
She dey conquer, take her stand
Woman rise, woman shine
Your time don come, this na your time
Woman rise, break the chain
Through the struggle, through the pain
Woman rise! (Woman rise!)
Woman rise! (Woman rise!)
Glory!
African woman, you don suffer
But your victory don come closer
Woman rise!
Praise God!
