Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh, woman—force of nature’s hand,
You weave the threads where beauty stands.
You’re love, you’re mother, queen, the flame,
The hearth in winter, soft yet untamed.
[Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh, Angela Davis rise,
From Rosie’s rivets to Rosa’s eyes.
Eleanor’s voice, Hedy’s spark,
Amelia’s wings—let’s cut the dark.
Harriet’s heart, it breaks my chains,
Sets my soul free, washes the stains.
Mother, sister, daughter, wife—
The wellspring of all life.
Woman, oh, I lay my heart in your hands.
[Verse 2] You’re joy, you’re sorrow, battle-scared,
Wisdom carved where the brave have dared.
White or black, mermaid’s grace,
Serious—what fate you’ll chase?
From silk to coils, wild and free,
Crowns of the sea—what will be, will be.
Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh, Angela Davis rise, From Rosie’s rivets to Rosa’s eyes. Eleanor’s voice, Hedy’s spark, Amelia’s wings—let’s cut the dark. Harriet’s heart, it breaks my chains, Sets my soul free, washes the stains. Mother, sister, daughter, wife— The wellspring of all life. Woman, oh, I lay my heart in your hands. [Chorus] [Bridge] Gentle tide or hurricane, Flood that sweeps the old regime. Who holds my hand when the night is long? You do. (You do.)
