Dear Woman
Do not be ashamed of who you are
For you are the pillar of strength and power
For ages you have been our world's caregiver
Nature's true mother
And God's own ambassador
The world is formed from you and you complete it
You are the diamond that glitters in bright light in this dark world today
You are a symbol of love, tenderness and care
If only you knew how precious you are
Oh dear woman
Dear Woman
Did you ever know that you are a man's joy and happiness
His wise counsel and oracle of wisdom
Yet your value is not much appreciated in a man's world
You suffer silently and quietly out of love for everybody's sake
You rise early morning to attend to your family
You ensure everyone is cared for
But who cares for you?
Yet you put on a brave face and a smile and stand beside the man who takes all your glory
If only I could take your pain and sorrow away
And replace with endless joy
Just for you to shout and leap for joy
Oh dear woman
Dear Woman
Now your time has come to take your rightful place
With confidence in yourself and boldness
Your new world is set before you
Take hold of it and claim your freedom
No more tears no more sorrows
No more playing second best
No more feeling unworthy
No more feeling sorry for yourself
It is your time to shine
And that time is now
You are a queen
Get ready to put your crown of glory back on
And reign reign and reign
I honour you today and forever
Oh dear woman.
