Women Singing in Zimbabwe! lyrics

Oh there are women singing in Zimbabwe!

Oh there are women singing in Zimbabwe!

Singing in Zimbabwe!

Oh there are women singing in Zimbabwe!

Singing in Zimbabwe!

The women say we carry our heavy load

We must stand together, together we take our power

In Zimbabwe!

A war in 1983, a riot by the police,

When they went to round up prostitutes

And they jailed every single woman on the street

The women of the elite

And women of the trades

Housewifes, prostitutes, intellectuals black and white

And pride outraged

In Harare

Ah so they worked some magic in a jail

All women equally

And the women's action groups began

International women's conference planned

By woman in Harara

Those women in Zimbabwe

From Harare

They put out the call and so from the countryside

From the city streets

400 of women came in their native Shona tongue

They produced a play about their lives in Zimbabwe

Those women in Zimbabwe

Those women in Zimbabwe

Oh, can't you see them

Women in Zimbabwe

Together saying something, listen

The women say we carry our heavy load

We must stand together, together we take our power

In Zimbabwe!

Zimbabwe women shine

Like fine African gold

Your voice is a light away

To find the dark at the heart of a woman soo

Women in Zimbabwe

Women in Zimbabwe

And women all throughout Africa

And with women in Asia

Women in Europa and South, Central and North America

And women at the North Pole

Women at the South Pole

Women all throughout the Pacific

And women in Aotearoa

And women in Sydney

And women in Australia

And those women in Zimbabwe
