[Verse 1]
    
The world is t

urning, changi

ng, with the s

easons of the 

year,
             
Flowers grow w

            
here once the 

          
earth was cold

 and bare.

Streams feed t

he rivers, riv

ers feed the s

ea.
             
And the streng

            
th of my, frie

              
nds will feed 

    
the change in 

me.

[Chorus]
           
For there is N


o going back
            
There is no li

           
mit now, No go

    
ing back
              
We're too deep

         
 in it now No 

going back
              
We're differen

           
t women now No

     
 going back.

[Verse 2]
          
Since the mine

r's strike has

 ended a new l

ife has begun,
             
We're differen

            
t women after 

            
all we have se

en and done.
      
We've learned 

the world's di

vided, and we 

have made our 

choice,
             
We may have lo

            
st a battle bu

        
t we've found 

a voice.

[Chorus]
           
For there is N

There is no li

[Verse 3]
       
Life's hard if

 you're a work

er, it's harde

r if you're bl

It's hard when

            
 you are old o

         
r poor or get 

the sack.
     
It's harder fo

r a woman when

 she tries to 

say
             
That she doesn

             
't think the k

             
itchen sink is

 
 where she'll 

stay.

[Chorus]
           
For there is N

There is no li

[Verse 4]
     
Some families 

deny it some f

amilies unders

tand
             
That a woman's

             
' rights are e

           
qual to the ri

ghts of man.
   
So if you call

 me "sister" w

hen I join you

r picket line,
             
Better be ther

[Verse 5]

Alone I'm goin
