lyrics

She was a victim of
A climate that provided a permit to commit violence
on a woman's body,
Her soul, her mind, and her authority
Only 17, and they called it murder

I own my way
You can go away
Sister!

Take my sister by the hand, my sister by the hand
Show my sister love
Take my sister by the hand, my sister by the hand,
Protect my sister now

Here you go again,
Using every tool you have to condescend,
You want the baby born but not supported
You want them dead from war just not aborted.

A woman's womb is not a factory
And her children aren't your worker bees
If my sister lead a life of ease
She might have been allowed to believe she's worth more
than the deed she bargained for

She needs support not condemnation
She needs a future not damnation
I believe in my daughters
Not our nation's fathers
to tend the fertile ground of our future

I own my way
You can go away
Sister!

Take my sister by the hand, my sister by the hand
Show my sister love
Take my sister by the hand, my sister by the hand,
Protect my sister now

The band began in Antioquia, Colombia and was incubated in San Francisco. They continue to grow wings in Oakland, CA. ... more
