International Women's Day Song 1997

By Rachel Morgan

Hey sisters take to the streets
It's International Women's Day
See the strength in you, the strength in me
Celebrate our diversity.
Hey sisters sing out loud
Gutsy aunts have shown the way
For 25 years we've visioned and planned
Caring, sharing and proud ... Hey, hey, hey
Chorus:
All over the world today
We are on the move
Women of many cultures
Side by side.
Hey sisters defend what we've got
Like us women have always done
Cuts to health and schools, for nungas too
How come the army gets more ... Hey, hey, hey
Hey sisters let's be bold
For the world we truly want
If women'd strike, this country would stop
One day's not enough ... Hey, hey, hey
Repeat chorus.
Hey sisters sing out loud
Gutsy aunts have shown the way
For 25 years we've visioned and planned
Caring, sharing and proud.
