Lyrics

Women Who Walked on Water
Music & Lyrics by Joy Zimmerman

Women who walked on water showed us the way
Bringing change to the challenge of the day
Women who crossed rough waters did not turn away
They built hope in the struggles of the day

Thanks to Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells paving the way
Eleanor Roosevelt, RBG saving the day
Maria Tallchief, Sojourner Truth lighting the way
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Billie Jean King rising above the fray

Each found a way despite a steep divide
Carrying others, walking side by side
Resisting, writing, creating, uniting
Working upstream to turn the tide

Women who walked on water did not turn away
They built hope in the struggles of the day

Amelia Earhart, Delores Huerta paving the way
Rachel Carson, Malala Yousafzai saving the day
Thanks to Frida, Ella and Aretha lighting the way
Jane Goodall, Maya Lin rising above the fray

For countless other sisters whose names we do not know
Thank you, you’re brave today and long ago

Women who walked on water showed us the way
Bringing change to the challenge of the day
Women who crossed rough waters did not turn away
They built hope in the struggles of the day
May we be so brave
To bring light in the darkness of the day
We’ve been shown the way
Bring change to this day
