about

In May 2018 I made my first artist residency in Ireland at Greywood Arts in East Cork. I got off the ferry at Rosslare and into a corridor of banners of YES and NO. It was the time of the Repeal of the Eighth and I could feel the potency of the female voice rising up in Ireland. This song is an anthemic call of arms to encourage women to stand tall, speak their truth and reclaim the power that has been suppressed under the weight of the state and church in Ireland.

lyrics

Rise up Women Rise Up
And I will hold you

The women of Ireland have spoken
A curse of silence been broken
Now the voices let through the light
Give us choices to reclaim our rights

The women of Ireland have spoken
A repeal of the eighth has hearts opened
Now the voices of the past must be healed
Their stories gently revealed

As we honour women before us
All the women silenced in shame
Abuses went undetected
Suffering her middle name

No space to grieve the atrocities
No place to speak the female was meek
Now she rises strong our duty has come
Reclaim power of Mother earth’s song

The women of Ireland have spoken
A curse of silence been broken
Now the voices let through the light
Give us choices to reclaim our rights

To honour the women before us
And the suffering they have known
We need a place to remember
These women are not alone

No no no no no no no no no no no

Rise up Women Rise Up
And I will hold you
