Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land,
|
As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees.
|
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child,
|
As she holds him, as she holds him.
|
|
Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back,
|
From the danger, from the danger.
|
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
|
Together, together.
|
|
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
|
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
|
|
Watch the woman's hands, as she talks to the man,
|
As he talks down to her, as he tells her.
|
He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hands
|
Clenched tightly, angrily.
|
|
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
|
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
