"In this turbulent time for reproductive rights in the United States (and around the world), there is no better time for an empowerment anthem about resilience in the face of struggle. “Brave Woman,” the new single from Leah Shoshanah is that anthem. Jazzy, catchy, and beautifully mixed, Shoshanah’s song is a reminder that we all must carry on in the face of adversity and never stop creating art, speaking out, and living for ourselves." - Natalie Hope Finamore, medium.com
you're a brave woman,
you're a strong woman
you're tough woman, never give up woman
'cause you're brave,
'cause you're strong,
that’s why life’s pressing down,
that’s why life’s pressing down on you
This body been my boat through seas calm and waves
Shaped the shores of my soul, relentlessly carve out space
To hold up my back through the day
All the joys and the pains are lessons for me to gain
The medicine, life is your best medicine
The meeeeh, the meeeh- di- cine....
you're a brave woman...
I have wished for other lives and relied on others to guide
Yet the answers are always inside
And when i get the choice to change, i always choose the same
The same home, the same job
The same clothes, the same car
the same mind, the same brain
the same life, the same fate
the same thoughts, the same goals
the same roads, the same tolls,
the same hopes, the same dreams,
the same struggles, the same (me)
'cause I'm a brave woman...
