To Be a Woman

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Have you ever held your breathOn the water's edge?Known that it was fight or flightOn an unstable ledgePicked up the piecesOf a promise or a pledgeThen you know what it's likeYou know what it takesYou know in your heart how it feelsTo be a womanTo be a womanHave you ever found some hopeIn the emptiness?Suffered burns and breaksAnd called yourself blessedOvercome the fearAnd found the courage to say "Yes"Then you know what it's likeYou know what it takesYou know in your heart how it feelsTo be a womanTo be a womanTo be a womanTo be a womanBelieved that the darkBleeds into dawnFound something rightWhen everything was all wrongHave you ever talked it outOver coffee cups?Knowing that forgivenessWill always be roughDo you believe that there's nothingMore powerful than love?Then you know what it's likeAnd you know what it takesAnd you know in your heart how it feelsTo be a womanTo be a womanTo be a womanTo be a womanA womanTo be a womanTo be a womanTo be a woman
