In the dawn of the African sun,
The matriarch’s voice begins to run.
Through the valleys, over the hills,
A song of strength, of unwavering wills.

She rises from the roots of the land,
With the weight of generations in her hand.
Her voice, a chorus of resilience,
Echoes of triumph in her existence.

Through the battles, both seen and unseen,
She stands, unbroken, her spirit keen.
Her wisdom flows like rivers wide,
A testament to the courage she can’t hide.

Her hands have built, her heart has led,
Through the hardships, she’s never fled.
Her dreams are woven into the earth,
A tapestry of strength, of boundless worth.

The matriarch’s song is one of grace,
A melody of power in every space.
From the villages to cities tall,
She rises, undeterred, in the face of it all.

Her song calls for justice, for equal rights,
For freedom and power, for future lights.
In the battle for equality, her voice will reign,
Lifting up women, breaking every chain.

So let her song be heard far and wide,
For in her strength, we stand with pride.
The matriarch’s song, a call to unite,
For gender equality, for the future bright.
