Y'know, women walk more determined than they ever have  Women walk with a stronger stride than they ever did before  Take a look sisters and brothers, cause you're gonna find you got another  kind of woman  Who will ask a lot and give a lot and live a whole lot more  My friend, you and I have come a long way  And we're gonna go farther still  For the more I learn about myself and my world  You know, the more both of us will  All the ancient fears are coming out now  And I'm gettin them under control  For I realize until I love myself  Nothin else is gonna make me whole  It's hard to break all the traditions  And sometimes we wanna give up  But we gotta keep goin, gotta keep on growin  Cause love ain't gonna let us stop  You know we owe it to each other  To grow as wise as we can get  And we'll get to the end, my sister and friend  We haven't seen the best of it yet  Do you remember how it used to be, now?  All the games we used to play?  Never bringin it out, full of defenses and doubt  Now everything that we believe we can say  You've hurt me a lot and I've hurt you, babe  And we'll always bear the scars  But to learn about love and everything it's made of  We've gotta know just who we are!  words and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXXIII Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
