Plight Of A Woman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wouldn't have a chance without a poet's heart I wouldn't have a prayer of survival With every man I loved, I wrote myself so neatly safe in self denial I am never sorry, never wrong. I kept emotions in my songs I'm never weak, I'm always strong. When I'm in love, I don't stay long I find protection my defense against a world of helplessness I've learned to straddle every fence I hold the hands of timе securely to my breast massaging mеmories in quest of happiness I won't take bribes. I will not die to keep you satisfied I scream and pant through every line, releasing poison with every autograph I sign I wouldn't have a chance without a poet's heart Just Don't Compare Me To The Blues [Verse 1] Sarah smile, no Sarah frown cause Sarah loves a juvenile Not in numbers but in mind She needs to leave him, just bereave him, he's robbing her emotions blind Her fragile is left behind [Chorus] It's the plight of every woman once a mother said Light a candle everyone for every tear we've shed If a mother says a daughter just ignore the signs It's the plight of every woman til the end of time [Verse 2] Traumatized and dramatized, but never rightly equalized Turn each page of borrowed time to see that History's no mystery, hear what it's saying his story Well what should we expect to find [Chorus] It's the plight of every woman once a mother said Light a candle everyone for every tear we've shed If a mother says a daughter just ignore the signs It's the plight of every woman til the end of time [Verse 3] And ooh how it hurts when a girl becomes aware, what will she be A secret world unfolds, the innocence dies But nothing earthly or unearthly can compare, such a beauty To the understanding eyes of a woman growing wise [Bridge] So many of us are feeling at the end of our hope But I'm here to tell you, we got a whole lot more than hope Lisa, Carol, Karen, Helen, Faybiene Miranda, Chantal, Chaka Listen when the little sisters speak, Maanami, Chiriqui, Camae, Candice, Imani Vicky, Nona, Deborah, Dierdre, Lee, Lace, Cindy, Biti, Cecilia As the winds of change blow in our direction, we the breath of life pray for peace, love and protection [Chorus] It's the plight of every woman once a mother said Light a candle everyone for every tear we've shed If a mother says a daughter just ignore the signs It's the plight of every woman til the end of time Sarah smile, smile for me Sarah smile, smile for you
