Here's to Strong Women ★ May we know them ★ May we BE them ★ May we RAISE them ★
We are so excited to release "Still WE Rise", an anthem dedicated to the women of South Africa. May it encourage you to RISE into all you were created to be!
Inspired by Dr Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise" but with a uniquely South African spirit of community and centered around women's empowerment in light of the GBV pandemic.
Shown here with inspiring footage of all the many women of Sparrow Society that motivated this empowering video.

Still We Rise - Copyright 2021 Sparrow Society

What do you see
When you look at me?

What is my place?
To where am I confined?
To whom do I belong?
From which of my pursuits, dreams should I resign?

I am she
Bearing the image of the divine
I am we
An army done with waiting in line

Ubuntu… do you think we’ve gone too far?
I am, because we are.
It’s the power of we,
over the power of me.

Together, we rise
Together, we stand tall.
Together, no force of hell,
can suppress us all.

We ride those waves of change
with a twinkle in our eye.
We walk on water
when they thought we would die.

The tide of history
Sweeps toward justice
The current of destiny
Pulls toward the brave

Can’t you see,
when you look at me?
This bird flocks together.
The way it should be.

Battered, bruised, used.
We rise.

Wathint' Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo
We rise.

Strike a women, you strike a rock.
We rise.

Creators, bosses, leaders, changers.
We rise.

There’s more than enough room at the table.
We rise

For you know we are just as able.
We rise.

What do you see when you look at me?
Haha, Don’t tell me.
I’m already free.
Come --
Rise with me.

Through it all
Still
We
Rise.
