1. Voices of women
Voices, voices, our voices
Women’s voices in unison
Her voice resonating
The din of my voice
Our voices of struggle
His story they wrote
Ignored her story with impunity
Littered are the pages of history
Littered with a counterfeit story
That ignores our indelible input
This is our story of struggle
The story of victory this is
Against the psychological warfare
The many hurdles of oppression surmounting
Refusing to be second class citizens
This is the story of ambuya nehanda, gogo tenkela
The story of sally mugabe, ruth chinamano
The story of teurai ropa mujuru, joana mafuyana nkomo
The story of queen nzinga, yaa asantewa

2. Miriam makeba, ruth first and all the women
Girl child embrace these lessons now
These lessons of greatness
This is no time for self pity
The time to build on the firm foundation this is
The foundation of turmoil and tenacity
The voices of triumph hear
Voices of women in all spheres
In all spheres of human endeavour
Refusing that this is a man’s world
Voices, voices debunking that myth
