You gotta be fortunate , you gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting her e, think ing good and bad
But I'm the kinda woman , that was built to last
They tried e rasing me , but they couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child, I'd rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia, in side of me
And my blood flows, through e very man
In this godless land, that delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
This is a woman's world this is m y world
This is a woman's wo rld for this man's girl
There ain't a woman in this world not a woman or a little girl
That can't deliver love in a man's worl d
I'v e born and I've bread, I've cleaned and I've fed
And for my healing wits, I 've been called a witch
I'v e crackled in the fire, and been called a liar
I've died so many times, I'm only just coming to life
This is a woman's world this is m y world
This is a woman's wo rld for this man's girl
There ain't a woman in this world not a woman or a little girl
That can't deliver love in a man's worl d

My blood flows, through every man and every child
In this godless land, that delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see
wo man's wor ld this is my w orld
wo man's world for thi s man's girl
wo man's wor ld this is my w orld
wo man's world for thi s man's girl . . .
