Women Of The World Be Strong

Lyrics by: Slyvia Fisfell Grimson
Gaggle: Toronto
Tune: Ode To Joy

step by step and step by stepwomen of the world be strong
day by day and day by day
wipe the blood and tears away
save our sisters from their terrors
cut the chains that warp and bind
open doors till we are free
leave oppression far behind

2) step by step and step by step
women of the world be strong
do not wait, we must go on
though the road be dark and long
come with us to touch the bright sky
as our own free voices ring
with the breath of inspiration
flying forward on the wind

3) step by step and step by step
we shall go triumphantly
towards a new humanity
women of the world are we
