Women With Wings
Copyright 2020

Women with wings
They long to touch the sky
Women with wings
They teach themselves to fly

VERSE: Our ancient mothers left the faintest traces of their secrets
Their lives disguised by women’s many masks
Creating lives of victory by surviving each defeat
They labored toward
the future in fulfillment of the past

CHORUS: Held high by those who came before
They lifted wings to touch the sky
At first they watched their sisters soar
And then they taught themselves to fly
As they rose beyond their fears
They found their own song to sing
Each voice has echoed through the years
A message from the ones who've won their wings

VERSE: The bonds of love extend beyond this time, beyond this place
The courage of our mothers brought us here
From our dreams and from our passion the future will be born
Conceived by us in laughter and made sacred by our tears

CHORUS: Held high by those who came before
We lift our wings to touch the sky
At first we watch our sisters soar
And then we teach ourselves to fly
As we rise beyond our fears
We find our own song to sing
Each voice will echo through the years
A message from the ones who’ve won their wings

VERSE: Our lives create the future for those who follow us in time
Through the generations interlocking chains
They will have more freedom for the freedom we have won
Though they never see our faces and they never know our names

CHORUS: Held high by those who came before
They’ll lift their wings to touch the sky
At first they’ll watch their sisters soar
And then they’ll teach themselves to fly
As they rise beyond their fears
They’ll find their own song to sing
Each voice will echo through the years
A message from the ones who’ve won their wings

Women with wings
They long to touch the sky
Women with wings
They teach themselves to fly
