I'm a Woman, I'm a Queen (feat. Lisa Fischer & Cindy Mizelle) - Elements of Life

(Riperton - Rudolph - Thedford) I'm silk and satin And I know child and lover's pain But don't be fooled 'cause I'm tender hearted I'm stronger than a hurricane I like fire, I like ice I can cut you like a knife But I'd rather be nice I'm a woman So don't push and don't shove What you want there's plenty of I was born to make love I'm a woman Hot nights... dripping passion Lead you to my bed of flames Leave your world enter my enchantment And I will love you wild and un-restrained

I can wash out forty four pairs of socks And have 'em on the line I can starch and iron two dozen shirts 'Fore you can count from one to nine I can slip up a great big dip up of lard From a drippings can Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping Be back before it melts in the pan 'Cause I'm a woman W O M A N I'll say it again I can rub and scrub 'Til this house shinin' like a dime Feed the baby, grease the car Powder my face at the same time Get all dressed up Go out swing 'til 4 a.m. and then Lay down at 5, jump up at 6 And start all over again 'Cause I'm a woman W O M A N I'll say it again If you come to me sickly You know I'm gonna make you well If you come to me all hexed up You know I'm gonna break the spell If you come to me hungry You know I'm gonna fill you full of grits If it's lovin you're likin' I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits 'Cause I'm a woman W O M A N I'll say it again I got a twenty dollar gold piece Says there ain't nothing I can't do I can make a dress out of a feed bag And I can make a man out of you 'Cause I'm a woman W O M A N I'll say it again 'Cause I'm a woman W O M A N And that's all

SONG OF THE FREE We walked in darkness now seeing great light Out of the shadows into your sunshine Joy has began great celebrations Joining one-voice worshiping nation Chains I was bound now have been broken Doors that were shut have been flung wide open Joy has began great celebration Joining one-voice worshiping nation This is a song a song of free We sing hosanna We've been redeemed cause our humble king... Has shown us compassion Chains I was bound now have been broken Doors that were shut have been flung wide open Joy has began great celebration Joining one-voice worshiping nation This is a song a song of free We sing hosanna We've been redeemed cause our humble king... Has shown us compassion So we fall to our knees... Throw up our hands... Cry to the lamb that was slain We say You are worthy of all the praise you are, you are (repeat 4 times) By Austin Yehudi Baruch Phiri
