I am the goddess in the temple
I am the mother holding her son
I am the crone in the corner
I am the girl embracing her lover
I am all of these and none of these
I am Woman, I am strong
I have watched the ages flow by
Like water spilled from a mountain
I have wept for my sons
And ached for my daughters
My sexuality has been stolen
My voice is silenced
I have born the brunt of societal shame
****** upon me by men who fear my power
I am Woman, I am strong
But I refuse to bear the shame
I take back my rights
My voice is no longer silent
For I am Woman
And I am Strong

I am the goddess in the temple
I am the mother holding her son
I am the crone in the corner
I am the girl embracing her lover
I am all of these and none of these
I am Woman, I am strong
I have watched the ages flow by
Like water spilled from a mountain
I have wept for my sons
And ached for my daughters
My sexuality has been stolen
My voice is silenced
I have born the brunt of societal shame
****** upon me by men who fear my power
I am Woman, I am strong
But I refuse to bear the shame
I take back my rights
My voice is no longer silent
For I am Woman
And I am Strong
