It's in me
To be
What I have to be
It's in me
To know
Where I have to go
It's in me
To have
All the time I need
To be
Me
I know
How to use
The things around me
To do
What needs to be
Women have been able
To make it along
Through all types of things
A woman will survive
Where a man will freeze
She will make warmth
Out of trees and leaves
Nothing undone
No stone unturned
No kindness turned away
She has learned
That to protect
Her father's seed
She must be
The one to be
Alive
Survive, woman
And thrive.
