Peter Gabriel - Shakin' The Tree Lyrics
Released as youssou ndour/peter gabriel single, 1989 and featured on the youssou ndour album the lion.We are shaking the tree...Waiting your time, dreaming of a better lifeWaiting your time, so much more than just a wifeYou dont have to do what your mother has done, she has doneThis is your life, this new life has begunIts your day - a womans dayIts your day - a womans dayTurning the tide, you are on the incoming waveTurning the tide, you know you are nobodys slaveFind your brothers and sistersWho can hear all the truth in what you sayThey can support you when youre on your wayIts your day - a womans dayIts your day - a womans dayWe are shaking the tree...Theres nothing to gain when theres nothing to be lostTheres nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the costMake a decision that you can be who you can be, you can beTasting the fruit, come to the liberly(? ) treeIts your day - a womans dayIts your day - a womans dayChanging your ways, changing those surrounding youChanging your ways, more than any man can doOpen your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you healMaybe hes looking for his womanly side, make him feelYou had to be so strongAnd you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at allWere gonna to break it downWe have to shake it down, shake it all aroundWe are shaking the tree...
