Текст песни
Dear woman
You are a Queen
A goddess endowed by GOD to be the backbone of a flimsy society
The spine of your family
The foundation of civilization
The faith keeper
The inn keeper
The keeper of secrets
The healer of boo-boos
You stitch up together hurt feelings
Like a black widow weaves together the imperfections of her web
Seemingly effortlessly
Leaving no sign of struggle
Yet you struggle
To keep food on tables
To keep clothes on backs
To keep needs met with no regrets while yours are often never met
So that your family is never in want
You will starve
No front
Your hunger is no game
Your belly
It rumbles like thunder
Earth-quaking through your spirit
The rain beating upon your soul's windows posing pains unknown to man
Hurt they may never acknowledge
Nor even understand
Yet you stand
Steadfast
A billowing standard
Solid mahogany firm
Forever extending your branches towards the sun
Yet
Your efforts often remain unsung
But you woman
You are a shero
You create essentials from zero
You beget something from nothing like a pro
GOD resides in the buds of your tongue
You are a shining beacon like the sun
When they believe you've lost
You find comfort in knowing
That you've actually won
They say "a woman's work is never done"
Well, this is because a woman's faith can never be undone
And faith without works is purposeless and dead
So, you woman
You keep working until your fingertips are blood-red
You keep loving until your lungs are empty from giving others your air
You keep keeping until you've given your everything
And your heart's cupboards are bare
Bones dry
