You Bet

If I only had a dollar I’d spend it with the women
Who sing to me sweet melodies of women loving
Songs with room for growing that show us where we’re going
So caringly, that dare me to grow up fighting strong
You bet I sing love songs
Songs that carry me along
Through fearful times and tender times
Songs of mother love
Songs of my lover’s love
Singing the songs of loving myself
If I only had an hour, I’d spend it with the women
Who live the lives, the fighting lives
Lives that inspire the songs of women working
Fighting for our senses courageously
Preparing me for battles that are yet to be won
Linger on the details
The part that reflects the change
There lies revolution
Our everyday lives, the changes inside
Become our political songs
