Woman from WOMAN by Kate McCabe

Woman -
(Written and Performed by Kate McCabe)

You are safe in this world but you're never getting out,
Every aspect of your fear is without a doubt in doubt.
Divulging all my secrets tells me something of your compassion,
And there's nothing I can do to distract from your actions.

And I'm crying, I'm crying, I am crying now,
And I'm trying, I'm trying to get up off the ground.
And my fear is growing, that this institution,
It will never believe me, a woman.

You plead your innocence to every case well known,
And the beauty of your denial is that it corrupts your soul.
And maybe in the time it takes for you to lose control,
I'll develop the instincts I need to run, run, to bolt.

And I'm crying, I'm crying, I am crying now,
And I'm trying, I'm trying to get up off the ground.
And my fear is growing, that this institution,
It will never believe me, a woman.

Tell me, how is this?
Tell me, how is this? How is this hope?
Tell me, how can we?
How can we? How can we cope?

Tell me, how is this?
Tell me, how is this? How is this hope?
Tell me, how can we?
Tell me, how can we? How can we cope?

And I'm crying, I'm crying, I am crying now,
And I'm trying, I'm trying to get up off the ground.
And my fear is growing, that this institution,
It will never believe me, and we're...

And we're crying, we are crying, we are all crying now,
And we're trying, we're trying to get up off the ground.
And my fear is ever-growing, that this institution,
It will never believe the voices of our woman.
