I come from women who gave up their power
I come from women who gave up their name
And I come from women who know nothing ever stays the same

I come from women tender as roses
I come from women strong as stone
And I come from women who know no one ever walks alone

Women of wisdom, women of tears
Women who stood and embraced their fears
Women of struggle, women not free
Women who passed the torch to me

I come from women who rocked their babies
I come from women who slept awake
I come from women who guarded the fires for children's sake

I come from women who vowed to do better
I come from women tall and strong
And I come from women who taught me I must always sing my song

Women of wisdom, women of tears
Women who stood and embraced their fears
Women of struggle, women not free
Women who passed the torch to me

So Daughters everywhere, raise fire high
Lift your voices to the sky
Mothers and Sisters of the earth
Shout your name and claim your worth

Women of wisdom, women of tears
Women who stood and embraced their fears
Women of struggle, women not free
Women who passed the torch to me

I come from women tender as roses
I come from women strong as stone
And I come from women who taught me no one ever fights alone

Women of wisdom, women of tears
Women who stood and embraced their fears
Women of struggle, women not free
Women who passed the torch to me
Now joining hands we will be free I come from women
