Lyrics

You don’t know me but I’m someone like you
I am a woman, I am human too
I am your mother, your daughter, your sister, your friend
I am a woman, I am human

You don’t know me but I dream just like you
I’ve got big plans, important things to do
I’ve got my liberty, I’ve got my happiness to pursue
You don’t know me, but I’m just like you

How can a person be expected to live
With no autonomy, with no choice in what they give?
Can’t you see me for all that I am?
I am a woman, I am human

You could be me, with one roll of the dice
You could lose everything, all of your power, your voice
In the beginning, it was one vote for every white man
We will lose everything if we let this stand

How can a person be expected to die
As simply a vessel for a possible life?
Can’t you see me for all that I am?
I am a woman, I am a human

I’m not a sinner, I’m not yours to control
I’m not the cause of the fall of man
I am your mother, your daughter, your sister, your lover, your friend
You already know me, and you’ve got to trust me
You already know me and you’ve got to trust me
You already know me, I’m a human, I am human, I am human
