Verse 1: (1:23-)

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
|F |Bb/F
It's your day - Woman's day
It's your day - Woman's day
(Chorus) (1:58-)
[Verse 2] (2:22-)
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 - Woman's day
It's your day - Woman's day
(Chorus) (2:58-)
[Verse 3] (3:21-)
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
Bridge: (3:45-)
