Be your own woman
Be your own woman
Not the one
The world tells you to be.
Be your own woman
The one you were raised to be
Stand proud and tall
Take your place
Don’t look down to your feet
Be your own woman
Know your own mind
Be independent and free
Speak your own truth
Know that you are enough
That you are complete
Be your own woman
Be a queen, not a lioness
Seek nothing but the best
But remember at all times
You owe back nothing less
Be your own woman
Be feminine
And full of grace
Understand there is
More to beauty
Than just your face
Be your own woman
Love openly and deep
Do what you need to do
To lift up and
Praise your sisters
As they would do you
Be you own woman
Be mighty and strong
Recognise your power
And the moments
When you should lead
So be your own woman
And not the one
The world tells you to be
