We are shaking the tree...
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, so much more than just a wife
You don't have 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 brothers and sisters
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...
There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost
There's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
Make a decision that you can be who you can be, you can be
Tasting the fruit, come to the liberly(?) tree
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
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, make him 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 tree...
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
