| They stood together under a tree in tall grass on TV telling the world their
|
| story
|
| We will be left to wander and fade away, soldiers came and took our husbands at
|
| the break of day
|
| We will live on then fade away, soldiers came and killed our children at the
|
| break of day
|
| Women of hope women of change women of war and pain
|
| I believe the almighty knows each and every one by your name
|
| Women of hope women of change women of love, joy, no shame
|
| You’ve got something this little life can never take away
|
| Running through the darkness of night with her child by her side
|
| Oh lord won’t you give them a shining armor of light, Oh lord won’t you give
|
| them a shining armor of light
|
| Daybreak brings the sign of new life, with the power to stand
|
| Crossing the border she said you will grow free on this land
|
| Women of hope women of change women of war and pain
|
| I can feel your power in these words she said:
|
| If you’re feeling helpless, help someone If you’re feeling helpless,
|
| help someone
|
| Nobody really knows how far they will go to keep on living |
| Nobody knows how far they will go to keep on giving and forgiving
|
| Aung San Suu Kyi living under house arrest for her peaceful protest
|
| Under house arrest, for her peaceful protest! |
| When her people ask her,
|
| for a message she said:
|
| If you’re feeling helpless, help someone
|
| If you’re feeling helpless, help someone
|
| People of hope, people of change
|
| people of love, joy, no shame
|
| I believe the almighty knows each and every one by your name |
