One Woman

In Kigali , she ____________________ up ,
She makes a choice ,
In Hanoi , Natal , Ramallah .
In Tangier , she ____________________ a breath ,
Lifts up her voice ,
In Lahore , La Paz , Kampala .
Though she ? s half a world away
Something in me ____________________ to say ?

We are One Woman ,
You cry and I ____________________ you .
We are One Woman ,
You hurt , and I ____________________ , too .
We are One Woman ,
Your hopes are mine .
We shall ____________________ .

In Juarez she ____________________ the truth ,
She reaches out ,
Then ____________________ others how to .
In Jaipur , she ____________________ her name ,
She ____________________ without shame
In Manila , Salta , Embu .
Though we ? re different as can ____________________ ,
We ? re connected , she with me

We are One Woman ,
Your courage ____________________ me strong .
We are One Woman ,
You sing , I ____________________ along .
We are One Woman ,
Your dreams ____________________ mine .
And we shall shine .
We shall ____________________ .

And one man , he hears her voice .
And one man , he ____________________ her fight .
Day by day , he lets go the old ways ,
One Woman at a time .
Though she ? s half a world away ,
Something in me ____________________ to say .

We are One Woman ,
Your victories lift us all .
We are One Woman ,
You rise and I ____________________ tall .
We are One Woman ,
Your world is mine
And we shall shine .
Shine , shine , shine .
We shall shine
Shine , shine , shine .
We shall shine .
Shine , shine , shine .
