Sway

Tell me,
What does it mean to be a woman today?
Do you know how to swing?
Do you know how to sway?
Do you know how to start each day a new?
Do you know what is right?
Do you know what is true?

Have you found all the love
that you have to give?
Do you know how to forget?
Do you know how to Forgive?

So
Tell me,
What does it mean to be a woman today?
Do you know how to swing?
Do you know how to sway?
Do you know how to hold a hand in the dark?
Do you know how to question
the powers of the past?

Have you found all the words
that you came here to share?
Do you know how to feel?
Do you know how to care?

When the rhythm is Right
You’ll know how good it can feel
Do you know what is true?
Do you know what is real?

Can you find the time to put your hands in the dirt?
Watch the sunrise ‘n’ set, to the beat of this Earth.
To feel the soft dew on the skin of your feet
To laugh from your heart?

And let your eyes weep?

So
Tell me,
What does it mean to be a woman today
Do you know how to swing?
Do you know how to sway?
Have you found all the love
that you have to give?
Do you know how to forget and to forgive?
