I found myself buried deep within the womb of creation Lost, I climbed through the mud of life Pulling myself up on the bones of the ancients I broke through to the light, and heard the earth cry Rise, Woman, Rise I looked upon the face of the eternal Reaching upward, I tried to touch the sky So with my feet planted firmly in the past I grew toward the future, bridging both earth and divine And in me, the words rose once more, Rise, Woman, Rise After I had bridged the heavens, After I had delved through the mud I branched out towards the stars surrounding Souls glittering in the lonely sky Beckoned by a need, I reached to them But just out of reach, they twinkled distantly When a single answer I heard them call Rise, Woman, Rise And from my roots, I grew down deeper And from my arms, I reached out high With my fingers, stretched out longingly Glancing over them, I swept the sky Fingers clasped my own in their hands Pulling me towards their brilliant light Connected, I am tied to the universe Woven into the web of life And now, when I see another reaching, I cry out the words that brought me here, Rise, Woman, Rise

Rise, Woman, Rise
I found myself buried deep within the womb of creation Lost, I climbed through the mud of life Pulling myself up on the bones of the ancients I broke through to the light, and heard the earth cry Rise, Woman, Rise I looked upon the face of the eternal Reaching upward, I tried to touch the sky So with my feet planted firmly in the past I grew toward the future, bridging both earth and divine And in me, the words rose once more, Rise, Woman, Rise After I had bridged the heavens, After I had delved through the mud I branched out towards the stars surrounding Souls glittering in the lonely sky Beckoned by a need, I reached to them But just out of reach, they twinkled distantly When a single answer I heard them call Rise, Woman, Rise And from my roots, I grew down deeper And from my arms, I reached out high With my fingers, stretched out longingly Glancing over them, I swept the sky Fingers clasped my own in their hands Pulling me towards their brilliant light Connected, I am tied to the universe Woven into the web of life And now, when I see another reaching, I cry out the words that brought me here, Rise, Woman, Rise
