Life's been as blessed and joyful as it should
Ever since I've been in this circle of sisterhood.
This is not how it all began for me, in fact
I was taught to distrust women - their words and their acts.
Strong clear lines that I heard patriarchy speak
"Women kill their strong, men only kill their weak"
"Never trust a fair woman - she has many a vice"
I confess I did buy into these senseless lies.
Until as the years passed, to my surprise I found,
I got to where I did, thanks to the strong women around.
Women who spoke their truth as they walked their path,
Women who trusted their intuition, who lead from their heart.
These sisters of mine, with whom I could share my laughter, my tears
Sisters who bore witness to my boldest dreams and darkest fears.
I found them in every city, every street, every bend,
These women who welcomed me as their sister, their friend.
And the reason that today love and courage I don't lack
Is because I have these incredibly amazing women at my back.
