about
Inspired by the book "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi
Funky loop-driven praise for the women of the world
lyrics
I am not mighty like a locomotive, my arms are strong but they can't hold back the tide
But if I raise my hand and you raise your hand
Together we will be counted like we matter in this land
Raise your hand sister, Raise your hand sister, Raise your hand
I am not louder than the rolling thunder, I may speak but I can't drown out the crowd
But if I raise my voice and you raise your voice
Together we will be heard we will sing above the noise
Raise your voice sister, Raise your voice sister, Raise your voice
I am not superman I have no super powers but I have a strong heart and love enough to share
And if I raise my child and you raise your child
In a single generation we can set our differences aside
Raise your child sister, Raise your child sister, Raise your child
Raise your hand sister, Raise your hand sister, Raise your hand
