Shootin' Down the Walls of Heartache,
BANG BANG,
I am the Warrior!
The tradition continues....
A long time ago, in a land that time forgot, womyn lived a life devoid of masculine
dominance. Their lives and attitude were Womyn-centered! At night after their
battles, these Warrior womyn would sit around their campfire singing songs and
rejoicing in their femininity. Through massive research, I found documents which
contained the lyrics to these long lost songs. It took me many years to translate
them but I finally found success. Here I present these beautiful songs!
I am Woman
I am WOMYN hear me roar
in numbers too big to ignore,
and I know to much to go back and 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.
Oh, yes, I am wise
but it's wisdom born of pain.
Yes, I have paid the price
but look how much I gained
If I had to I can do anything.
I am strong, I am invincible, I am WOMYN!
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 deepened the conviction in my soul.
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, WOMYN! I am WOMYN! I am WOMYN!!!
