We are shaking the tree
  Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
  Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
  You don't want to do what your mother has done
  (she has done)
  This is your life, this new life has begun
  It's your day -- a woman's day
  It's your day -- a woman's day
  Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
  Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
  Find your sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth
  In what you say
  They can support you when you're on your way
  It's your day -- a woman's day
  It's your day -- a woman's day
  We are shaking the tree
  Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
  Changing your ways, more than any man can do
  Open your heart, show him the anger and pain
  So you heal
  Maybe he's looking for his womanly side
  And you feel you had to be so strong
  And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
  We're gonna to break it down
  We have to shake it down, shake it all around
  We are shaking the trees
