She Will Rise © Sandy Rapp 2008
http://www.sandyrapp.comDo you hear what they're tellin' in the street?
How the goodly poet made a prophecy?
Hear it loud, hear it now,
Hear it how the much-loved prophet speaks.Do you see the silver writing on the screen?
From the poet who knows why the caged bird sings
Speaking here, speaking clear,
Of a woman and the story that she brings:chorus:
She Will Rise; She Will Rise.
She will fly like an eagle to the Hill.
She will fly; she will fly
From the ashes She Will Rise, yes she will.When Sue Anthony went out into the polls,
She knew the way to her was firmly closed.
But she rose, yes she rose
Now the women of the country have the vote.I am stronger now and just as wise as you,
"And ain't I a woman?" asked Sojourner Truth.
Hear it ring, hear it sing,
Hear the message of the poet that it brings:
repeat chorus
