You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here

Thinking good and bad
But I'm the kinda woman
That was built to last

They tried erasing me
But they couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child

I'd rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia
Inside of me

And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land

That delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see


[Chorus] :
This is a woman's world.
This is my world.

This is a woman's world
For this man's girl.
There ain't a woman in this world,

Not a woman or a little girl,
That can't deliver love
In a man's world.


I've born and I've bread.
I've cleaned and I've fed.

And for my healing wits
I've been called a witch.
I've crackled in the fire

And been called a liar.
I've died so many times
I'm only just coming to life.


[Chorus]


My blood flows
Through every man and every child
In this godless land

That delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see


[Chorus]
