The gloating howl of rapacious men
Has ravaged silence since the dawn of time
Tears that for millennia drowned the soul
Could never wash the stain of the vile crime
There will come a day when women shed the shame
Of men’s repugnant deed they will not bear the blame
There will come a day when women won’t be prey
Won’t have to yield or bow, that day should be right now
The smirk of men that hide a fearful might
Has disfigured the face of humankind
Women’s cries that have even riled the sky
Could not cut loose the chains that tightly bind
There will come a day when courage we will find
To cut those odious chains and leave the yoke behind
There will come a day when women won’t be prey
Won’t have to yield or bow, that day should be right now
I wonder whether men will ever learn
How to stand with a woman side by side
On equal terms, all over every land
Not with contempt, but with respect and pride
There will come a day when men will see the light
Women shed their fear, treat each other right
There will come a day when women will feel safe
Where they may choose to go, that day should be right now
We have travelled all the way to the moon
But on earth we remain a savage breed
We think of women as inferior beings
Created to fulfill our basest need
There will come a day, when all will understand
We were created equal to walk with hand in hand
There will come a day when justice we will seek
Love will teach us how, that day should be right now
