Y'know, women walk more determined than they ever have
Women walk with a stronger stride than they ever did before
Take a look sisters and brothers, cause you're gonna find you got another
kind of woman
Who will ask a lot and give a lot and live a whole lot more

My friend, you and I have come a long way
And we're gonna go farther still
For the more I learn about myself and my world
You know, the more both of us will
All the ancient fears are coming out now
And I'm gettin them under control
For I realize until I love myself
Nothin else is gonna make me whole

It's hard to break all the traditions
And sometimes we wanna give up
But we gotta keep goin, gotta keep on growin
Cause love ain't gonna let us stop
You know we owe it to each other
To grow as wise as we can get
And we'll get to the end, my sister and friend
We haven't seen the best of it yet

Do you remember how it used to be, now?
All the games we used to play?
Never bringin it out, full of defenses and doubt
Now everything that we believe we can say
You've hurt me a lot and I've hurt you, babe
And we'll always bear the scars
But to learn about love and everything it's made of
We've gotta know just who we are!
