PROUD TO BE A WOMAN

 

I was down and feeling worthless
felt all I did was wrong
though I tried I never measured up
I felt I didn't belong
even though I tried to be the best
it wasn't good enough
my pride was hurt I felt ashamed
each waking hour was tough

But I'm proud to be a Woman today
I have a voice and make the choice
to live a better way
each day I get stronger
I want to live free
now the one I answer to is me

I found a place of comfort
it really changed my life
it gave me time to realize
I'm not just someones wife
staying together for the children
can't be an excuse
there's no need surviving with abuse

And I'm proud to be a Woman today
I have a voice and make the choices
of the things I say
what I say has meaning
I want you to know
freedom is the only way to go

Now it's time for us to all stand up
Silence won't make it go away
it's time to start our future
and make a brand new home
it's time to build the confidence
to make it on our own

And I'm proud to be a Woman today
I have a voice and make the choice
to live a better way
each day I get stronger
I want to live free
now the one I answer to is me
now the one I answer to is me
