Together WE Will
In a world swayed by man,
How does a woman play her role?
It states that we’re all equal.
Yet all we sustain is coal.
We continue to persist
Because they told us no,
When they say it is just
We give the final blow
This pain has spread from long ago
To aid it I encountered Angelou
“Still I Rise,” she said so loud
“Still I Rise,” I say so proud
I’ll “dance like I’ve got diamonds”
I’ll keep my smile shinin’
Because she told me so,
“Still I Rise” will grow
Pass it on to other kin
It’s the only way to win.
We must carry our own up high
Before we share a collected sigh
Now instead of “Still I Rise”
We chant as one “Still We Rise”
