Gabriel Peter - Shaking The Tree lyrics

We are shaking the tree

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life

Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife

You don't want to do what your mother has done

(she has done)

This is your life, this new life has begun

It's your day -- a woman's day

It's your day -- a woman's day

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave

Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave

Find your sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth

In what you say

They can support you when you're on your way

It's your day -- a woman's day

It's your day -- a woman's day

We are shaking the tree

Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you

Changing your ways, more than any man can do

Open your heart, show him the anger and pain

So you heal

Maybe he's looking for his womanly side

And you feel you had to be so strong

And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all

We're gonna to break it down

We have to shake it down, shake it all around

We are shaking the trees
