There is a tenderness in you that gives my heart delight.
There is a kindness that burns like a beacon in the night.
There is a sadness that touches my very soul;
There is a weariness from inside that also plays a role.

Women to women we know the pain
We have stood out there enduring the rain,
We have crossed bridges that we burned as we went
We have gone places we were never ever meant.

We tell each other secrets in the dark of the night
We make each other believe that everything's all right;
We hold fast to the knowledge that we have a friend
And not one for a week or two, but till the bitter end.

Women to women we cling to our souls
our minds long gone, at what cost they were sold.
Our bodies now desert us, our pleasures they are weak, 
not so much as a tender kiss do we seek.

But, when the finals over and we leave this world of ours
It's nice to know we're leaving with something that empowers
Women to women, we will always be. 
Friends, pals bud's we will be...
