Proud To Be A Woman

In honor of women's history month, I guess... Men couldn’t stand us They wanted us hidden Within the shadows of ours houses The dust and the grime The workplace just wasn’t a place For a woman A treasured dime-piece We kept the rooms tidy The children were fed Well, without our respect We’re better off dead Caught up in our chores We were lifeless Just dolls But something gave us life To the sun We crawled for freedom And we rose to the top Just like liberty intended We are heroes Just like you And we only ask for your respect Dear husbands and sons Uncles and cousins Believe me when I say We are free, we are women And we are here No longer shadowed By the dust and the grime No workplace is seen Without a woman in line I think she meant it Ole’ liberty bell When she said All men created equal Men, women and children
