fly free and strong
joining together in
the power of song
Drum, heartbeats rise
echoing old ways
mothers listen
the spirits praise
Women and song
that is our way
drumming together
grandmothers say
They teach us the ways
to sing with our voice
drum with our hearts
love and rejoice
Women rise be strong
for girls listen
to the power of song.
