Lyrics

WAKE UP SISTER

Young girl—exploitation
Female sexual slave
Fearful sad—battered wife
Headed for an early grave

So sister, wake up sister
Things have changed but everything’s the same

Baby girl—gets thrown away
Gender genocide
Lady soldier—fights the war
Gets violated by her own side

So sister, wake up sister
Things have changed but everything’s the same

Single mom—struggles hard
Keeping food on the plate
Woman you are half this world
But second class is your fate

So sister, wake up sister
Things have changed but everything’s the same

Asia, Africa—Europe, Arabia
All the Americas
This whole world--could not survive
Without what a woman does
