Portraits of Power

She rises with the dawn a force to be reckoned From the youngest dreamer to the oldest legend In her eyes the strength of a thousand generations In her heart the beat of countless aspirations She's the power she's the fire Burning bright with every desire Through the storm through the night She stands tall ready to fight From the boardroom to the classroom she makes her mark Breaking barriers lighting up the dark Her voice a melody her spirit soars In every step she opens new doors Women of the world rise and shine Every color every age a beauty so divine In her laughter in her tears strength and grace In every woman a story a powerful embrace Through the struggles through the pain She finds her way through the rain Empowered she dreams she loves she lusts In her the world finds its trust She nurtures she leads with wisdom profound In her presence peace is found Her problems her joys she carries with pride In her journey love is her guide [melodic interlude] Women of the world rise and shine Every color every age a beauty so divine In her laughter in her tears strength and grace In every woman a story a powerful embrace From the young girl dreaming of the stars above To the elder sharing tales of love In unity they stand hand in hand Women of the world a powerful band
