We are shaking the tree... Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife You don't want to do what your mother has done She has done This is your life, this new life has begun It's your day - a woman's day It's your day - a woman's day Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave Find your sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth In what you say They can support you when you're on your way It's your day - a woman's day It's your day - a woman's day We are shaking the tree... Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you Changing your ways, more than any man can do Open your heart, show him the anger and pain So you heal Maybe he's looking for his womanly side And you feel you had to be so strong And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all We're gonna to break it down We have to shake it down, shake it all around We are shaking the tree...
