Women Across The River |
Oh, the women 'cross the river |
Carry water from the well at break of day |
They talk to one another |
God only knows what they might say |
You might get an education |
After years of dedication |
You might finally get a glimpse |
Of what is right and what is wrong |
But the women 'cross the river |
They knew that all along |
Oh, the women 'cross the river |
Work with tools that are ancient and handmade |
They plow their fields in perfect rows and then |
They rest beneath the shade |
Now we have learned to build |
Out of concrete out of steel |
And our buildings last a thousand years |
But then even they are bound to fall |
But the women 'cross the river |
Never learned to build a wall |
Oh, the women 'cross the river |
Are as gentle as the dew upon the ground |
How I love to hear them laughing in the rain |
When it makes that perfect sound |
Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won |
Might kill you with a bullet |
And you’d never even know the reasqon why |
But the women 'cross the river |
They can kill you with their eyes |
The women 'cross the river |
They can kill you with their eyes |
