She's unafraid

So bold and brave

She's been abused

But to that shame

She won't be a slave

She won't listen

To the names she's called

She's too busy standing tall

Running through

This maze of ignorance

Finding her way

Keeping her stance

And there is no chance

Of failing

Because she's already

Achieved success

In that no matter

What they're saying

She's learnt to put

Her demons to rest

She's learned to love

Every inch of her

Inside and out

She's learned that

Materialism

Is not what life's about

But if you like the finer things

Ain't no harm in being fitted out

She's learned to open her mouth

And proclaim her independence

Speaking loudly and clearly

Drowning out the nonsense

She is so beautiful

Yes, she is fruitful

Mother of the earth

Sister is in full bloom

Knowing her worth

If you ever catch her up

Look at her face

And you will forever

Want to be in her place

Where happiness reigns

And where the rain

Is always welcome

To fall on her

In big fat drops

Raindrop after raindrop

Soaking her hair

Coursing down her face

Over ivory teeth

Flowing in rivulets

Down that Godly body

Yes, you can call her

The rain goddess

If you like

You can say

She's the moon goddess

If you please

She'll be pleased

She'll put you at ease

When you make your way

Through the rain

To hold her hand

You will understand

She is the woman

Within you

Set her free

And you will see

That she is you

And she is me
