The moon is hidden in the clouds , the firelight is dying
in the dark slum and street ,
men ,women children crying
no work today means no pay and no pay means we're starving
Mother I/m with child again
I feel like I am dying

A pen, a pen, your weopon be, my fine courageous women!
let's sign our names a thousand times for freedom that's hard winning
no more let fear and anger rule with heavy hand of violence
the Moon is shining in the sky, as we break the silence

Love and Justice be my flag
I'll live my truth what e're will be
I swear that I cannot rest til there's equality
Love and Justice be my flag 
I'll live my truth what e're will come 
so many rivers to cross 
till our journey's done

All who toil the weary earth see beyond your measure
Women are real gold for all of us to treasure 
For every heroine that's named, there are a thousand nameless 
who live to make a better day 
with acts of love and justice

Daughter , sister, mother, wife
when you rise ,so shall others
happiness will fall upon son,father ,husband, brother
in home and in the market place, town and country side
let our laughter spread its wealth
it's surely our birthright!

 Oh I had the strangest dream 
 it came one starry midnight
 Men and Women all joined hands 
 in peace and loving friendship
 All broken hearts were mennded 
 all broken bodies healed
 River , Mountain, Rocks rejoiced
 the bells of freedom peeled

Love and Justice be my flag 
I'll live my truth what e're will be
I swear that I cannot rest til there's equality
Love and Justice be my flag 
I'll live my truth what e're will come 
so many rivers to cross 
till our journey's done
