I bow to all the women
Who walk this path with me
Who reign their lives
So strong and fierce and gracefully

I bow to all my sisters
Who suffered all this pain
In a world so full of madness
They stay calm, compassionate and sane

I bow to all the girls
Who manage to grow up
And no man or rule or boundary
Could ever make them stop

I bow to all the mothers
Who nurture humankind
Without their care and love
We’d all die of hunger or go blind

I bow to all the ones before
Who paved this weary way
Who fought for all the rights
That we take for granted every day

I bow to all the women
Who walk this path with me
The world could not exist
Without divine collective femininity
