3. Women's Voice
I am Woman, revered and reviled
I am Woman, abused and adored
You put me on a pedestal, see how I smile.
I cannot harm you here on my pedestal.
I am Woman.
I was Woman, for two thousand years
Enduring your oppression, hiding my tears
Look what you made me.
Look how you re-designed me.
I cannot harm you here on my pedestal.
Can I, can I.
I will be Woman, in control and free,
No longer woman, Madonna or whore.
I walk off my pedestal see how you smile.
In control of my destiny, rid of my pedestal.
I am woman, fighting your oppression
See how I smile,
Always Woman, here off my pedestal.
Eternal Woman.
Free
