Refrain

So sing a song for Women everywhere

Let it ring around the world and never, never cease,

So sing a song for Women everywhere, Equality,

Development and Peace

(2) Women can’t be silent, When around the world

People hurt and hungry children cry

We’ll sing out now for Justice and Development

And hold the Rights of all the People High

Refrain

(3) Women now are working to build a better world

Where the love of Peace can rest on every shore

Where men lay down their weapons and learn to love and share

And People work to bring an end to War
