LYRICS (by Alexandra Olsavsky):

What happens when a woman takes power?
What happens when she won't back down?
What happens when a woman takes power?
What happens when she wears the crown?

What happens when she rules her own body?
What happens when she sets the beat?
What happens she she bows to nobody?
What happens when she stands on her own two feet?

Woah, we rise above.
Woah, we lead with love.
Woah, we have won.
We are one.
We've just begun.

We just sang this for our women's choir concert and it was very powerful! I was one of the three ladies who did the body percussion :)

I go to an art high school and I can hear the choir singing this when I’m in math class, it’s great.

I’m very proud to say I got to meet these amazing women in person. I was a freshman in high school and they taught this to my choir class. They were just as amazing in person as they are on video!

I love this song 💚💚💚💚
Woah, we rise above.
Woah, we lead with love.
Woah, we have won.
We are one.
We've just begun.

Love this song! We are in the age of Aquarius witnessing the rise of divine feminine! 🔥🔥🔥

Sadly a lot of abuse happens when a woman takes power. But it is worth the fight to be able to be yourself and to be free! Never give up my fellow abuse victims! We are worthy.

I love this song so much my middle school choir is doing this song right now. And even as 8th and 9th graders our choir is so powerful because this song deserves it.

I'm singing this on Sunday with four other women in the Saskatoon Unitarian's International Women's Day service! Such a great song (and a fabulous video)--thank you Artemisia!!
