“Today is the day…I will not sit still and give in anymore
Today I rise
I am bruised but I will get up and walk again
Today I rise
I don’t care if you ignore my beauty
Today I rise
Through the alchemy of my darkest nights I heal and thrive
Today I rise
I move through the world with confidence and grace
I open my eyes and I am ready to face
My wholeness as a woman and my limitless capacities
I will walk my path with audacity
Today I rise

I reconnect with the many aspects of myself
I am in awe of the reality I can create
I am a healer
I am a queen
A wise women – A wild woman
I will rise and beam
I am a rebel
I will wake up and fight
I am a mother and I am a child
I will no longer disguise my sadness and pain
I will no longer suffer and complain

I am black and I am white…There is no reason to hide

I call upon Kali…To kiss me alive
I transform my anger into power
No more heartache or strive

The world is missing what I am ready to give
My wisdom, My sweetness, My love
And my hunger for peace

I weep with the trees and the rivers and the earth in distress
I rise and shine and I am ready to go on my quest

Today I rise
Without doubt or hesitation
Today I rise
Without excuses – without procrastination

Today I call upon my sisters to join
A movement of resoluteness and…concern

Today is the day I rise and scream
Today I foresee the future of my dreams!
Today is my call to action…I will fulfill my mission
Without further distraction.

Today is the day!
Today I will start
To offer the world
The Wisdom of my heart.”
