in the shadows of the night
she bears the weight of countless fights
a woman's journey filled with pain
silent tears that fall like rain
chained by expectations
old roles defined her story untold
forced to fit in a narrow frame
our dreams often met with shame
through the ages she's been oppressed
her voice muffled her spirit stressed
in a world that's often unkind
she struggles to free her mind
facing in a quality sharp blade
her hopes sometimes start to fade
but deep within there's a fire
a will that won't expire
oh the suffering of a woman
a story that should not be forgotten
she adores the stormy weather
hoping for a better forever
in the workplace she's held back
let's pay for the same exact track
and in the home she's overworked
her efforts soft and unobserved
the violence that sometimes lurks
leaves bruises on her heart and quirks
but still she rises from the floor
to fight for justice more and more
she's judged by her parents first
before her mind and all she's nursed
the standards set are hard to meet
and if she tries to stay on her feet
but through the pain she's finding Grace
breaking free from the confining space
a new day's dawning for her kind
as she rewrites the rules in her mind
oh the suffering of a woman
a story that should not be forgotten
she adores the stormy weather
hoping for a better forever
these lyrics
aim to highlight the various forms of suffering
that would face throughout history
and in different aspects of life
while also expressing the hope for change
and a better future
