about

Not only is a respect for women woven into my the fabric of my soul through the powerful examples they have set in my life but it is a part of my ancestral heritage.


Suppression and oppression of all kinds must end and equality must replace it.

For this song imagine the masculine archetype of our generation speaking to the feminine archetype. Both have suffered horrendous mistreatments and systemic abuses but reconciliation and equal honor can heal.

lyrics

Im a man, I'm sorry too
I wish I looked more like you
Looking off the rooftop
and seeing every woman

I see you not as property
free is all you've got to be
you are strong and still soft
I did it for the woman

I was born a broken thing
I only ever wanted to help a dream
I don't only live for me
I'm living for the woman

Long live the woman (x2)
