|
You gotta be fortunate |
|
You gotta be lucky now |
|
I was just sitting here |
|
Thinking good and bad |
|
But I'm the kinda woman |
|
That was built to last |
|
They tried erasing me |
|
But they couldn't wipe out my past |
|
To save my child |
|
I'd rather go hungry |
|
I got all of Ethiopia |
|
Inside of me |
|
And my blood flows |
|
Through every man |
|
In this godless land |
|
That delivered me |
|
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see |
|
Chorus: |
|
This is a woman's world. |
|
This is my world. |
|
This is a woman's world |
|
For this man's girl. |
|
There ain't a woman in this world, |
|
Not a woman or a little girl, |
|
That can't deliver love |
|
In a man's world. |
|
I've born and I've bread. |
|
I've cleaned and I've fed. |
|
And for my healing wits |
|
I've been called a witch. |
|
I've crackled in the fire |
|
And been called a liar. |
|
I've died so many times |
|
I'm only just coming to life. |
|
Chorus |
|
My blood flows |
|
Through every man and every child |
|
In this godless land |
|
That delivered me |
|
I cried so many tears even the blind can see |
|
Chorus |
