lyrics

Some will kill you when you’re born
Cause you’re a girl and not a boy
Some will feel the shame above all
Some will prevent you from school
Will behave like you’re a fool
And bet everything on their son
Will you let me be, will you let me be, Will you let me be a woman?
Some will say that you may work
You’ve always been some kind of quirk
But you’d be best cleaning the dirt
Some indeed will hire you
But they’re greedy and all they do
Is simply to underpay you
Will you let me be, will you let me be, Will you let me be a woman?
In this world of chains, Am I here in vain? I just wanna be a woman!
Some are living for the lord
Some are living for the gold
Some are living for their own cause
I respect and I don’t mind
All the different ways of life
Any feeling and any choice, but…
Will you let me be, will you let me be, Will you let me be a woman?
In this world of chains, Am I here in vain? I just wanna be a woman
Mother earth and father sky
Come and have a walkabout
Was it you plan to make us cry ?
My dreams fall in a water hole
They glister and vanish like smoke
Reflecting the essence of my soul
(They say…)
Am I here in vain ? In this world of change, I just wanna be a woman
Will you let me be, will you let me be, Will you let me be woman ?
I won’t play it by the rules
It’s the whisper of a wound
The moaning of the mothers on earth
The morning star will light us home
You know the place where we belong
Where we will share and sing the same song
And…
You will let me be, you will let me be, You will let me be a woman
In this world of dreams
Oh, a life supreme
I will simply be woman
