We gave birth to the whole world.
Therefore have the ultimate power.
If we share our innermost thoughts,
At the most intimate time,
We have the maximum impact.
On this day of all days,
As the universal mother,
We hold the change in our hands.
It's up to each and every one of us.
As we give birth to the next generation,
And as daughters of the last,
It's time to acknowledge but leave the past.
Cut the ties that bind... open the eyes that keep us blind.
Keep the ultimate goal in mind...
We are all part of this human race
We can't keep on saving face.
Blaming each other for our forebears disgrace.
Make this a day to celebrate humanity.
Gather strength from our unity
And give our children the belief in true equality.
We are all equal... surely this is what gives our life it's quality.
