Lyrics Ryan Amador – Like A Woman

My mother wakes up every day
6AM with no complaint
Tired eyes, but wide awake, oh
She’s working hard

Never mind that
She walked with me inside her
9 months and let me leech on
Her love, this little boy

For the strength that this is
Now I am envious
Of the creature, a woman
Teach me

To be as much like a woman
As I possibly can be
Be as tough as a woman
Wear my heart upon my sleeve
I wanna fight like a woman
I wanna own what I believe
Be as brave as a woman
Lift my faith to the women
Who carry us all

Our mothers had to break free of lesser roles
Change the story they’d been told
Heal the wounds of hands they’d hold
Oh, they’ve done it all
Our mothers pulled men through history

Never mind that
Each time they were denied
Their equal rights, they’d get back in
That ring and fight another round

The resilience I’ve seen
Untold in history
Is the creature, a woman
Teach me

To be as much like a woman
As I possibly can be
Be as tough as a woman
Wear my heart upon my sleeve
I wanna fight like a woman
I wanna own what I believe
Be as brave as a woman
Lift my faith to the women
Who carry us all

Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I’ll be as much like a woman
As I can be
Be as tough as a woman
God almighty
I wanna make love like a woman
But I ain’t worthy
And I can’t know what it’s like
To create a life inside of me

I’ll be as much like a woman
As I possibly can be
Be as tough as a woman
Wear my heart upon my sleeve
I wanna fight like a woman
I wanna own what I believe
Be as brave as a woman
Lift my faith to the women
Who carry us all

(Oh, oh-oh) Be as much like a woman
(Oh, oh-oh) If only I can
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) I’m strong as a, I’m strong (Yeah)
(Oh, oh-oh) I wanna fight like a woman
(Oh, oh-oh) Yeah yeah
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

My mother wakes up every day
6AM with no complaint
Tired eyes, but wide awake, oh
She’s working hard
