I Am a Woman

I am a woman
A mother, a daughter, a sister
Full of nurture, full of love
Keeping my faith, keeping my strength

I am a woman
A wife and a provider
I raise and love my children
I support and love my husband

My babies are my gifts
I'll protect them with my life
Trying not to show them wrong
Encouraging them to do right

I'll never leave you, can't be without you
My family is my life
How I would lose my mind
If I couldn't kiss them goodnight

I am a woman
My heart full of tender care
I'll lend a helping hand
With strangers I will stand

I am a woman
And my life is a story
The past is present and full of mistakes
Just trying to do my best, everyday

Do unto me as I do unto you
By showing your love faithfully
Don't hurt me cuz I won't hurt you
Just put your trust in me

I need you to be there
Like i'm there for you
I need you to show you care
Like I care for you

I am a woman
Show me some respect
I am your queen, and you my king
So get rid of the rest

I am a woman
Without me, there is no you
Treasure these precious words
Deep down you know it's true

Sisters hear me calling
You are a diamond in the rough
Don't let no one take your pride
Don't let no one set you up

Stand tall and stand proud
Let it all come out
Shout I am woman
Let it flow out your mouth
