She is fragile yet so strong
She has traveled a path so long
Her life is no less than an exile
Yet she greets you with a smile
They cut short her going to school
To be tied in a wedlock like a mule
Her dreams and ambitions were made to be shun
If at all she was ever allowed to have some
She tried to find new dreams in her new life
But it was no fairy tale being a wife
Her life-mate who was to stand by her side
Left her alone to face the tide
She now has a lot on her thin shoulders
With responsibilities huge like boulders
She cleans, she cooks, she leaves her kids at home
To babysit yours, while leaving her own alone
To fend for her family she needed to be paid
No teacher, no officer, she is now a housemaid
Life doesn’t always turn the way you expect
For her endurance and strength she has my respect
Give it to the wrecked world clear and loud
With your might and your valor, woman you should be proud
She has traveled a path so long
Her life is no less than an exile
Yet she greets you with a smile
They cut short her going to school
To be tied in a wedlock like a mule
Her dreams and ambitions were made to be shun
If at all she was ever allowed to have some
She tried to find new dreams in her new life
But it was no fairy tale being a wife
Her life-mate who was to stand by her side
Left her alone to face the tide
She now has a lot on her thin shoulders
With responsibilities huge like boulders
She cleans, she cooks, she leaves her kids at home
To babysit yours, while leaving her own alone
To fend for her family she needed to be paid
No teacher, no officer, she is now a housemaid
Life doesn’t always turn the way you expect
For her endurance and strength she has my respect
Give it to the wrecked world clear and loud
With your might and your valor, woman you should be proud
Dedicated to all the women who stand tall against all odds
