I am Woman ....Hear me and my 1,149,999 Friends Roar

[LosinIt]

Thank you, Helen Reddy. This needs to be re-released, sampled by an R&B artist or something, it says it all.


I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

CHORUS

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

Thank you Helen

1. according to yahoo news

it was only 500,000 i can't believe the mass media is getting away with this fascist guff. But I watched the rally and i must get everything Ani DiFranco has ever produced

3. Specifically

It's the Associated Press.

Different news organizations seem to keep changing their headline. Reuters has, that I've seen, two stories, one with a headline indicating "hundreds of thousands."

Another announces "Mass Protest." Of the stories Yahoo carries, Reuters has the story I like the best, in part because it using the more correct term "anti-abortion" activists. It also is the first story I saw that even mentioned the 1 million number claimed by organizers.

2. Remember the 'We Are the World' Group Recording??

Does anyone know how to get hold of anyone with enough clout to get a group of celebrity women to record either this song or one with a similar sentiment? Although it would probably be banned by Clear Channel, it could get a lot of play on the Internet.

Let's see:
Carole King
Annie DeFranco
Indigo Girls
Whoopi
Betty
Dixie Chicks

Help me with this list...
