Sometimes we need a woman
Whose strength surpasses time,
Whose steely core and spirit
Can outshine any crime.
This woman now bears the burden
Of standing for what is right,
Her source of hope is from elsewhere,
She chooses to fight the good fight.
Sometimes we need a woman
So piercingly resplendent and brave,
That cowards shudder and pass away,
So there is still a nation to save.
We have now this woman before us,
She reminds us of what lies within,
That indeed we are bastions of strength ourselves,
That the flame should never grow dim.
