AARO - Women lyrics

[Verse] Women Our mothers our sisters Our daughters our aunts our Grandmothers our cousins Our girlfriends our fiancées Our wives Our neighbours our bosses Our nurses our doctors But most importantly Our friends Our family So guys, why Do we slander them and Use and abuse them when They're the sole reason we're alive In the first place Life may be the greatest gift We've ever received But our mothers gave that To us They carry us for 9 months Imagine walking around With another human being inside you For that long you have to Give them everything Your breath your food your energy Your body your soul You need to dedicate those 270 days to being the greatest Human being you can be Just so your child can enter the world safely And even then You have to push And push and push and push or Have somebody slice open your body But the whole time You do not give up Just to give them life The greatest gift Now They help us grow they Feed us they clean us they teach us They see us go Through life we may get old enough to leave them But we will never Be too old to need them Women So let me ask you this How can you can love your mother A beautiful woman Then turn around and strike your wife The woman you've vowed to love Respect and protect For the rest of your life I will never understand How a man can devote his time And claim that he loves a woman then Create marks on her face With his bare hands Causing her to shed tears by his actions Inflicting pain on the one He's supposed to protect and cherish Nobody deserves to be subject to anguish My only wish is to see progress Because I am so sick of seeing violence Now let me share A few facts with you Every year around 2.5 million people worldwide Are trafficked into prostitution and servitude Forced to give up their rights Their body and their life To become nothing more than a slave About 80% of these victims Are women I don't mean to be dark But this is the cold truth Did you know Around the globe that up to half of s**ual a**aults Are committed On girls under the age of 16? Damn Tell me How can a grown human being Be able to find pleasure In causing pain, to a child? But these are the stories often Swept under the rug Kept hidden or unknown Never spoke within our homes We, need to see growth Believe in these hopes That dreams are just goals We reach when we hold Each other, so close Now don't get me wrong A great father is great And to the fathers who had to Fill the shoes of a mother Thank you To the men who Treat all women with respect Thank you Life is all about happiness and I've been fortunate enough To find that in myself And within, love As I look in her eyes I can't help but wonder Where our home will be What our kids will look like and What they'll grow to be so I Tell the woman I wake up beside That she is beautiful every morning and That I love her every day in hopes That our future children Will conduct themselves in The same way Now when you snap that selfie or Stare into the mirror remember Perfection does not exist It's an opinion which 7 billion of us have And they're all different So forget the filters You don't have to look thinner or Edit every picture to impress another figure For a double tapped finger or The need for a bigger Follow count All I ask Is that we respect, love, and cherish eachother Treat women the way We would want our mothers our sisters Our daughters our aunts our Grandmothers our cousins ourselves To be treated The greatest gift we've ever been given Is life And we all deserve to enjoy it
