Shaking The Tree
Peter Gabriel
Letra

Intro: (2x)





Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life

Waiting your time, you re more than just a wife

Don t have 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, No, you are nobody s slave

Find your Sisters and Brothers (or: Find your Brothers and Sisters 1989 version)

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




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, let him feel


You have to be so strong

I can do nothing wrong

Nothing wrong at all

We re gonna break it down

We have to shake it down

Shake it all around
