by The Porter's Gate

Album: Lament Songs

Verse 1
Precious woman, gracious woman
You are more than what we made you
Precious woman, gracious woman
You deserve more than what we gave you

Chorus
You have birthed a nation
You have birthed a nation
Yet you have no home
You've been strong for others
You've been strong for others
Yet you stand alone

Verse 2
Precious woman, gracious woman
With wicked hearts we have accused you
Precious woman, gracious woman
With filthy hands we have abused you

Chorus
You have birthed a nation
You have birthed a nation
Yet you have no home
You've been strong for others
You've been strong for others
Yet you stand alone

Bridge 1
Precious woman........
Precious woman.........
(repeats once in background, Bridge 2 overlaps)

Bridge 2
Who will dare to say your name?
Who will wipe your tears away?
Where will be your place of peace?
Who will listen when you speak?

Chorus
You have birthed a nation
You have birthed a nation
Yet you have no home
You've been strong for others
You've been strong for others
Yet you stand alone
