Warrior

The Wyrd Sisters, 1995

Tutte:
Voix lead:
Voix haute et voix grave:

I was a shy and lonely girl
With the heavens in my eyes
And as I walked along the lane
I heard the echoes of her cries

I cannot fight
I cannot a warrior be
It’s not my nature nor my teaching
It is the womanhood in me

I was a lost and angry youth
There were no tears in my eyes
I saw no justice in my world
Only the echoes of her cries

I cannot fight
I cannot a warrior be
It’s not my nature nor my teaching
It is the womanhood in me

I am an older woman now
And I will heed my own cries
And I will a fierce warrior be
’til not another woman dies

I can and will fight
I can and will a warrior be
It is my nature and my duty
It is the womanhood in me

I can and will fight
I can and will a warrior be
It is my nature and my duty
It is the sisterhood in me
