Sandy Rapp - Do Not Forget Us

Do Not Forget Us © Sandy Rapp 2014
(Song for Women Enabled)

There are among us some with different paths.
Against whom many barriers are set.
Through obstacles and hurdles they prevail against the odds
And every footstep shows a challenge met.

They are the women nameless save for labels.
One can move a mountain from a chair.
A sightless lawyer founds an N. G. O. to make us see.
Some are children, hear them singing there:

Chorus:
Do not forget us don't pass us by.
Keep us among you keep us in mind.
Do not forget us, and what we do.
We bring a new, and valiant view.

Justice is blind but can we see her?
Does stereotype eclipse her in its glare?
The world's a place where power waits in every shape and form.
And every woman is our sister there.

And every sister needs autonomy
From safety on to repro liberty.
She is the winter soldier she is many she is wise.
And from her ranks the strongest voices rise:

(repeat chorus)

Bella caio, shalom, aloha.
Salud, salaam and namaste we hail.
Whether from Calcutta or the shores of Tripoli
In different boats the same seas do we sail.

(repeat chorus)
