i was a Daughter of Eve
Who gathered sugar plums and knowledge
In the garden with the sons of Adam

i was a Queen of the Nile
Where i napped in the shadows of King's tombs
And worshipped light

i was a poor mistrodden maiden
Who knelt upon the ground and kissed the feet
Of hope and eternity

i was the wife of a warrior
Who fought to save mother Earth
So we might rise unto the great spirit

i was a mother of a leader
Of a people who were brave and free
And stood for liberty and justice

I AM SHE

Who cries out in pain and joy and triumph
For all that is tomorrow and was yesterday
And will be forever
