She looked in the mirror and cried,
"Sometimes I fail but I've tried"
The girl in the mirror looked blue
"Am I woman enough for you?"
Am I woman enough to be strong?
And resist those things that are wrong?
Am I woman enough to fold clothes?
As youth fades and I slowly grow old?
Am I woman enough to let go?
I admit that sometimes I don't know.
Am I woman enough to love hard
When I know I don't hold all the cards?
Am I woman enough to forgive
all the hurt for as long as I live?
She looked in the mirror and moaned
It's too hard! I can't do it alone!
Am I woman enough to pray?
And cling to my God everyday?
They turned their eyes up to the sky in a plea,
"Are we women enough for Thee?"
