The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life

Waiting your time, so much more than just a wife

You don't have to do what your mother has done

She has done

This is your life, this new life has begun

It's your day, Woman's Day

It's your day, Woman's Day

Turning the tide you are now on the incoming wave

Turning the tide you know you are nobody's slave

Find the brothers and sisters

who can hear all the truth in what you say

They can support you when you are on your way.

It's your day, Woman's Day

It's your day, Woman's Day

SOUMA YERGON, SOU NOU YERGON, WE ARE SHAKIN' THE TREE

[If we had known, if we only had known] (3 times)

Changing your ways, changing those surrounding youChanging your ways, more than any man can do

Open your heart, show him the anger and pain so you heal

Mabe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel

You have to be so strong

And you do nothing wrong

Nothing wrong at all

We have to shake it down

We're gonna break it down

All around the town

SOUMA YERGON, SOU NOU YERGON, WE ARE SHAKIN' THE TREE

[If we had known, if we only had known] (7 times)
