WOMEN OF HOPE music and lyrics by Morley Kamen

They stood together under a tree
In tall grass on TV
Telling the world their story
We will be left to wander and fade away
Soldiers came and took our husbands at the break of day
We will live on then fade away
Soldiers came and killed our children at the break of day

Women of hope women of change women of war and pain
I believe the almighty knows each and every one by your name
Women of hope women of change women of love, joy, no shame
You got something this life can never take away

Running through the darkness of night with her child by her side
O lord won't you give them a shinning armor of light,
O lord won't you give them a shinning armor of light
Daybreak brings the sign of new life, with the power to stand
Crossing the border she said you will grow free on this land

Women of hope women of change women of war and pain
I can feel your power in these words she said:
If you're feeling helpless, help someone
If you're feeling helpless, help someone

Aung San Suu Kyi
living under house arrest
for her peaceful protest
Under house arrest, for her peaceful protest
When her people ask her, for a message she said

If you're feeling helpless, help someone
If you're feeling helpless, help someone
If you're feeling helpless, help someone
If you're feeling helpless, help someone

Women of hope women of change women of war and pain
I believe the almighty knows each and every one by your name
