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 Chorus 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 Chorus words and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXIX Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
