Dear mother, how does it feel?
To know your daughter roams this world alone
Without the comfort of knowing her body is her own
Sweet mother, what will you say
When your daughter gets all dressed up?
Will you worry that some stranger will be entitled to her love?
When you're weary and feel your light does not shine,
Know you're more than a body,
You're of heart and of mind.
Dear brother, what would you do?
If you knew your sister was made to feel ashamed?
For resisting and insisting a stop to another man's games
When you're weary and feel your light does not shine,
Know you're more than a body,
You're of heart and of mind.
Dear sister, my tears are for you
I know this life can be so cruel and unkind
But when you're feeling weak,
Know your power is in your heart and your mind
When you're weary and feel your light does not shine,
Know you're more than a body,
You're of heart and of mind.
