Hands Dirty

I could raise the crops from the earth
I could raise my children from birth
But when Im looking for work
They say that job aint for her
I could be a good mans wife
I could give a new child life
But when I fight for my rights
They say no woman, no cry
But I aint giving up
I cant count on luck
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty
I could lead impossible missions
I could occupy the highest position
But when I ask them to listen
They disregard my opinion
Well, I aint askin no more
I will command the floor
Im breaking every glass ceiling
Im building sky scraping buildings
When that next storm comes
Ill do what Ive always done
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty
And I have seen the other side of the mountain
Where every queen will be afforded her throne
And I will stand beside my sisters
And all persistent resistors
Theyll say I knew it would come true
And Ill say darling, me too
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?
