Ballad of the Midwife

Ballad of the Midwife
by Herisen

There is a woman that I have come to know
Some say she's the best at what she does
She is a Midwife in a rural community
And she lives a life of service and she's fighting for us all

For in this state the laws are such that Midwives are illegal
At least that's what the courts have said today
The medical people are upset and plan to make an issue
And when women stand up for their rights and realize they will have to fight
When women stand up for their rights we won't just go away

And they picked on a good one this time
For she has the strength of will and the courage to survive
The Joan of Arc in the battle for our right to decide
Every freedom loving person, every mother, every wife
If you care about injustice then you've got to join this fight

Here is a lady that we must stand behind
Every freedom loving woman, child and man
This is not just an issue of where to have your baby
It's the removal of your choices for someone's monetary gain

For in this state the laws are such that midwives are illegal
At least that's what the courts have said today
But the voting population has the right to make the laws
And when women stand up for their rights and realize they will have to fight
When women stand up for their rights we won't just go away
No when women stand up for their rights and realize they will have to fight
When women stand up for their rights we won't just go away
Blessings and Peace
