verse
I'm the matriarch of your land
When you need to take my hand
Come into my arms, I'll keep you safe from harm
I'll keep your precious heart
chorus
Look into my eyes and believe
Little woman we will fight, we will fight
Little woman we will fight, we will rise
We will stand, we will fight, we will fight
We will stand and together we will rise
chorus
Look into my eyes and believe
Little woman we will fight, we will fight
Little woman we will fight, we will rise
We will stand, we will fight, we will fight
We will stand and together we will rise
bridge
Rise up, rise up little man
Don't be scared, I'm holding your hand
Know that life holds more than
What we see and what we get
chorus
Rise up, rise up, little woman
Don't be afraid to risk it all
Know that life holds more than
What we see and what we get, I will
Look into my eyes and believe
Little woman we will fight, we will fight
Little woman we will fight, we will rise
We will stand, we will fight, we will fight
We will stand and together we will rise
