You gotta be fortunate
|
You gotta be lucky now
|
I was just sitting here
|
Thinking good and bad
|
But I'm the kinda woman
|
That was built to last
|
They tried erasing me
|
But they couldn't wipe out my past
|
To save my child
|
I'd rather go hungry
|
I got all of Ethiopia
|
Inside of me
|
And my blood flows
|
Through every man
|
In this godless land
|
That delivered me
|
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
|
|
Chorus:
|
This is a woman's world.
|
This is my world.
|
This is a woman's world
|
For this man's girl.
|
There ain't a woman in this world,
|
Not a woman or a little girl,
|
That can't deliver love
|
In a man's world.
|
|
I've born and I've bread.
|
I've cleaned and I've fed.
|
And for my healing wits
|
I've been called a witch.
|
I've crackled in the fire
|
And been called a liar.
|
I've died so many times
|
I'm only just coming to life.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
My blood flows
|
Through every man and every child
|
In this godless land
|
That delivered me
|
I cried so many tears even the blind can see
|
|
Chorus
