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
