I'm a Soldieress, and I share my blood with you
I'm a Soldieress, and I know you feel it too.
Now i might wear a dress, flash my eyelashes
but I know there's work to do.
Yes a man's impressed when he sees me coming
but I know that I'm more than they view.
Let me tell you fellow sisters
that the war ain't over yet.
And while these high heels give us blisters,
may we never forget
That a Soldieress keeps on loving
but she knows when enough is enough.
Never taking less than she knows she's worth.
And we don't say yes when we mean no
We make that clear from the start.
Noone's got to guess, because we keep it simple.
We always follow our heart.
'Cause we a Soldieress, and we never give up fighting
just to keep our spirits alive.
All around is stress
in a word where the fittest survive
Yes we laugh and we cry and we bleed,
and we try and we fail and succeed.
Whether you carry a baby
or you love to cook for your man,
whether you walk like a lady
or you're making your very own stand.
Whether your hair is in ribbons
or whether it's under your arms
every last one is a winner
as long as you follow your heart.
Soldieress, keep on fighting
Soldieress, follow your heart.
Soldieress, keep on loving
Soldieress
Bless.
