Can't A Woman


A Lawyer finding freedom

A medical guru

Yes, a man can be a boss

But can't a woman too?

 

An astronaut in space

A pilot in the sky

Yes, a man can do these things

But can't a woman try?

 

An engineer or scientist

A saleman born to sell

Can't a woman do this too,

And can't she do it well? 

 

Doing all the housework

Mother to the sheep

They don't want women on the job

Why can't a woman sleep?

 

A man to own a business

A man to roam the sea

A man to handle money, but

How great would women be? 

 

The stigma and injustice

The inequality

We will not stop until all girls

Can gladly say they're free
