Lyrics Shaking the Tree

Waiting your time dreaming of a better life

Waiting your time you're more than just a wife

Don't have to do what your mother has done

She has done

This is your life this new life has begun

It's your day a woman's day

Turning the tide you are on the incoming wave

Turning the tide know you are nobody's slave

Find your sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth in what you say

They can support you when you're on your way

It's your day a woman's day

Nagadzieh ladzieh ounia koosseh

We are shakin' the tree

Changing your ways changing those surrounding you

Changing your ways more than any man can do

Open your heart

Open your heart show him the anger and pain, so you heal

Maybe he's looking for his womanly side

Let him feel

You had to be so strong

And you do nothing wrong

Mana dee lee la vier vir leh

I need vier vier nothing wrong at all

We're gonna break it down

We have to shake it down
