We are shaking the tree
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
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
We are shaking the tree
We are shaking the tree
We are shaking the tree
We are shaking the tree
We are shaking the tree
We are shaking the tree
