Tune: If I Had a Hammer
Now women have hammers
And women have trades
And women have jobs to fill
All over this land.
They’ll hammer out shelter
They’ll hammer out freedom
They’ll hammer out the love between their brothers and their sisters
All over this land.
Now women have voices
And women have songs
And women have warning bells
All over this land.
They rail against dangers
They rail against poverty
They rail against the gap between their brothers and their sisters
All over this land.
Now girls will have hammers
And girls will have tools
And girls will have songs to sing
All over this land.
They’ll sing about justice
They’ll sing about freedom –
They’ll wipe out the gap between their brothers and their sisters
All over this land.
Now women have hammers
And women have trades
And women have jobs to fill
All over this land.
They’ll hammer out justice
They’ll hammer out freedom –
They’ll hammer out the love between their brothers and their sisters
All over this land.
