You gotta be fortunate,
You gotta be lucky now,
I was just sitting here,
thinking good and bad...
But I'm the kinda woman,
that was built to last,
they tried erasing me,
but they couldn't wipe out my past...
To save my child,
I'd rather go hungry,
I got all of Ethiopia,
inside of me...
And my blood flows,
through every man,
in this godless land,
that delivered me...
I've cried so many tears,
even the blind can see...
Chorus:
This is a woman's world,
this is my world,
this is a woman's world,
for this man's girl...
There ain't a woman in this world,
not a woman or a little girl,
that can't deliver love,
in a man's world...
I've born and I've bread,
I've cleaned and I've fed,
and for my healing wits,
I've been called a witch...
I've crackled in the fire,
and been called a liar,
I've died so many times,
I'm only just coming to life...
Chorus
My blood flows,
through every man and every child,
In this godless land,
that delivered me,
I cried so many tears,
even the blind can see...
Chorus
