One Woman's Pride

Oh Darling yes I’ve seen it all
I’ve spent my whole life wandering
I know every blade of grass
And every sorrow in the sea
I’ve got paintings from the blind man
That sees better than me
I’ve got feathers from the flightless bird
That flew me from the tree
I’ve got stones from the world’s oldest road
That leads to victory
And I’ve still got that painful sting
From that blow to my left knee
But girl I fought so hard in that war
That I was better than the men
So I told them sugar yes I’ve seen it all
All my searching has been spent
And I found behind that hidden lust
A love that trumps the thundering
It’s pride so pure it can’t be felt
By just one man’s pure wondering
It’s pride of knowing who you are
And pride for standing strong
It’s pride for tying tight that band
That keeps your spine so tall
Woman pride, loving pride
For caring for the people
We did it together, Man and Woman
Not just one or the other
