Amazon Campfire Songs!
or
Shootin' Down the Walls of Heartache,
BANG BANG,
I am the Warrior!
The tradition continues.... A long time ago, in a land that time forgot, womyn lived a life devoid of masculine dominance. Their lives and attitude were Womyn-centered! At night after their battles, these Warrior womyn would sit around their campfire singing songs and rejoicing in their femininity. Through massive research, I found documents which contained the lyrics to these long lost songs. It took me many years to translate them but I finally found success. Here I present these beautiful songs!
I am Woman
I am WOMYN hear me roar
in numbers too big to ignore,
and I know to much to go back and pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
and I've been down there on the floor,
no one's ever gonna keep me down again.
Oh, yes, I am wise
but it's wisdom born of pain.
Yes, I have paid the price
but look how much I gained
If I had to I can do anything.
I am strong, I am invincible, I am WOMYN!
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
more determined to achieve my final goal.
And I come back even stronger
not a novice any longer
'cause you deepened the conviction in my soul.
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
as I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
with a long, long, way to go
until I make my brother understand.
Oh, WOMYN! I am WOMYN! I am WOMYN!!!

Amazons!
Oh, give me a pair of pectorals like Diana Nyad
I wanna swim 89 miles
Give me a set of deltoids like Tracey Caukins
I wanna be strong, like those Amazons
I wanna learn to dribble like Annie Myers
I wanna learn to shoot like Cheryl Miller
I want to play for the Dallas Diamonds
And live with Martina like Nancy Lieberman
Strong, Strong
Strong, Strong like an Amazon
I wanna play Badminton like Tammy Kinnard
I wanna smash that birdie like Christy Cooke
I want to acquire the perfect drop shot
Have total control over that shuttle cock
Strong, Strong
Strong, Strong like an Amazon
I wanna run in the Boston Marathon
I wanna go go go like Allison Roe
I wanna play tennis like Billie Jean King
I wanna serve and volley like Martina can
I wanna be strong like those Amazons
I wanna smash the ball like Yvonne Gulligon
Strong, Strong
Strong, Strong like an Amazon
I wanna learn to drive like Janet Guthrie
I wanna zoom zoom like Cha Cha Muldowney
I wanna be strong like an Amazon
I wanna be strong, strong like an Amazon!
