Every Woman's Song

Angela Aki/Janis Ian

Every woman is a story
Might not always have a happy ending
Every story has a history,
And the past is always worth remembering

To all the women who have gone before me
To all the women who are yet to come
We all have our separate stories
But from a distance, they are one

We are a rainbow of faces,
And a tapestry of songs
We all come from different places in this world
Though we are strangers when we meet,
We are sisters when we're done
We are beauty - we are mystery
We are one
We are every woman's song

Every woman is a journey
We are always right where we belong
Hearts can guide us, hearts can blind us
Still we carry on

So thank you to the mothers
And the daughters of my soul
To all the women I will never know
You have given me a voice that I can call my own
You are beauty - you are mystery
You are one
You are every woman's song

We are a rainbow of faces,
and a tapestry of songs
We all come from different places in this world
Though we are strangers when we meet,
We are sisters when we're done
We are beauty - we are mystery
We are one
We are every woman's song
