"for all women in struggle"--kristin lems
For all Women in Struggle
This song is for all women in struggle,
Forced to make their troubled ways alone.
In the courts, in the homes, and in the factories,
Our heroines unnamed and unknown
Chorus:
They knew they'd never change the world without fighting,
Even though they had a lot to lose.
If you can stand the pain, it's worth deciding,
To defend a woman's right to choose.
Oh my sisters, dear sisters, be strong.
Before we had a movement to call our own,
There were women fighting one by one.
And even now, when the going gets tough,
There are times there seems to be no one.
But we can never change the world without fighting.
Even though we've got a lot to lose.
If you can stand the pain, it's worth deciding
To defend a woman's right to choose
Oh my sisters, dear sisters, be strong
Whatever rights we cherish now,
There are mothers, and their mothers to thank.
For the sake of ourselves and our daughters to come,
It is time for us to join in the ranks.
For we can never change the world without fighting.
Even though we've got a lot to lose.
If you can stand the pain, it's worth deciding
To defend a woman's right to choose
Oh my sisters, dear sisters, Come along!
