I was a shy and lonely girl with the heavens in my eyes and as I walked along the lane I heard the echoes of her cries I cannot fight I cannot a warrior be it's not my nature nor my teaching it is the womanhood in me I was a lost and angry youth there were no tears in my eyes I saw no justice in my world only the echoes of her cries I cannot fight I cannot a warrior be it's not my nature nor my teaching it is the womanhood in me I am an older woman now and I will heed my own cries and I will a fierce warrior be 'til not another woman dies I can and will fight I can and will a warrior be it is my nature and my duty it is the womanhood in me I can and will fight I can and will a warrior be it is my nature and my duty it is the sisterhood in me
