Take heart, young woman,
the water is flowing.
Take heart, young woman and pick up your pride.

Take heart, young woman,
the earth keeps on turning.
Take heart, young woman, and move with the tide.

Take heart, young woman,
you’ve left him behind you.
Take heart, young woman; he’s back in the past.

Take heart, young woman,
the road is a long one.
Take heart, young woman; you’ll find it again.

Take heart, young woman,
you’re gone now, and safe now.
Take heart, young woman; you cried for so long.

Take heart, young woman,
and change now, and live now.
Take heart, young woman, and hold your head high.
