From our mother’s womb we grow

Like sunflowers with a golden glow

Aren’t we radiant , aren’t we free

Aren’t we all that we can be

We run free in body and mind

We run free in a world we define

Then we start growing some more

And in come the soaring chores

We are still radiant, we are still free, we are still all we can be

Then comes life heavy and strong

We run for others, we want to belong

We’ve almost forgotten our favourite song

We are told what to do ,

We are told how to be true

We are told to stick like glue

Don’t you dare break the mould

Don’t you dare stand up or fold

What does it matter if it’s cold

We re-think our golden glow

Now we neatly we fit in a row

We numb our pain , we dim our mind

We run in a world we don’t define

We still move on , on a road so long

Our favourite song now sounds all wrong

We live for others, fathers and brothers

We strive to please and become like rudders

And then one day we lose our lovers

A broken spirit, a body that shudders

We stop to rest and we slow down

We stop to ponder where life has gone

What use are we when the sun goes down

We are not radiant, we are not free

Can we still hope for all life can be?

The darkness flies in to make us see

We find our answers to set us free

Yes, we can hope for all life can be

Yes, fear not, we hold our key

Our spirit we free and re-believe

Our heart is heavy with what it caught, our mind is full of things to sort

We weave, we gather, we rise again

A world we re-create with less pain

And within this world our daughters reign

For they are the ones who aren’t chained

For once we don’t care to explain

They run free in body and mind

They run free in a world they define

No longer do they fit in a row

No longer do they tow and sow

They lead from front with love for all

They lead from wherever to stand tall

From our womb our daughters grow

Dancing in sunshine with a radiant glow
