Tune: Jesus Loves the Little Children 

Every woman should be safe,

Safe from torture and from rape,

Safe from every form of cruelty by males

Every mother, sister, wife

Has a right to a peaceful life

Men who don’t respect that right should be in jail!

Sing for the safety of the women

All the women of the world

Brown or yellow, black or white

Must be safe by day and night

Let’s eliminate the violence in the world!

Join us now, as we walk

People can do more than talk

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

Equal treatment would be fair

No more feeling we’re in err

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

We want safety, we want honour

We will not wait any longer

But we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

So pay us heed, listen to us

People power is tre-mend-ous

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear.

There’s a cycle, there’s a cycle

There’s a cycle of abuse

Threats and beatings, harsh mistreatings

There’s a cycle of abuse.

How to break it, that’s the question

For all people far and near

So all creatures on the planet

Can walk safely, without fear.

We as Grannies, take the challenge

And with thought we do reflect

On women ‘s right to live in safety

We demand that all respect.

Now all people have a mission

In this universal scheme

Of enlisting ever PERSON to

Support the global dream.
