{Verse 1}
After all that you’ve been through
Just a song could never make it up to you
I just thought that you should know:
You’re the beat in this tune, and this is how it goes – oh!
{Chorus}
One for the sisters all around the world…
…mammas and missies, grannies and girls
…one from the brothers who know we’ve done you wrong…
…trynna make a change so we can get along
{Verse 2}
You gave thought and life and speech
All we gave is anger, humiliation and grief – oh!
Now that we have made our men
They’re just militant plunderers. How do we survive then? Oh!
{Chorus}
One for the sisters all around the world…
…mammas and missies, grannies and girls
…one from the brothers who know we’ve done you wrong…
…trynna make a change so we can get along
{Instrumental}
…and it mystifies as I realise you’ve opened up my eyes
Every day we get better. We live our lives with that vigour, so let’s stop the silence… psychological violence
{Chorus}
One for the sisters all around the world…
…mammas and missies, grannies and girls
…one from the brothers who know we’ve done you wrong…
…trynna make a change so we can get along
{Chorus}
One for the sisters all around the world…
…mammas and missies, grannies and girls
…one from the brothers who know we’ve done you wrong…
…trynna make a change so we can get along
