Davina Michelle: What A Woman

A will and a way in a young girl’s life
are fading away through today’s state of mind
Long roads lie ahead to prove she can
do all that once was meant for a man
Don’t get me wrong — I adore them
But I thank the Lord she made sure that
I am a woman

Fresh out of college
Best of her year
Bursting with knowledge
She wants that career
But the list is long, the risks are mad
Her fertility makes her incompetent
Don’t get me wrong - I adore men
But all of my girls
put their hands up in the air

One for the mothers
One for the daughters
Sing
Man, what a woman

She is bold, she is brave, she is beautiful
She is booty and brains
Yeah she got it all
Man, what a woman
Man, what a woman
Whip your hair in the wind
and go hard in heels
Yeah we paint the town pink
That’s how freedom feels
Man, what a woman
Man, what a woman

Gotta work, gotta pay for a happy home
Not a bird, not a plane, it’s supermom
She’s a farmer, a danceran entrepreneur
She’s beating cancer
She finds the cure
She’s working at breakneck speed,
same tasks
So she wants the same paycheck
Is that too much to ask?

With a grin on her face, she relives her past
younger years feel like days and they’re smiling back
Cause time only changed what the eye can see
She’s still that boss babe at 93
Every age, every shade
every shape and size
All my dolls, all my babes
Put your hands up the air

One for the mothers
One for the daughters
Sing
Man, what a woman

She is bold, she is brave, she is beautiful
She is booty and brains
Yeah she got it all
Man, what a woman
Man, what a woman
Whip your hair in the wind
and go hard in heels
Yeah we paint the town pink
That’s how freedom feels
Man, what a woman
Man, what a woman

Think like a woman
Lead like a woman
Love like a woman
If you’re a woman

You can do anything
and today’s state of mind needs to let that sink in
Don’t get me wrong - I love my men
But I thank the Lord she made sure that
I am a woman
Man, what a woman
