Lyrics
Ohhh, Man listen to the woman
Expresses a plea for men to pay attention to women.
Ohhh, she knows the way to be human
Recognizes the woman's understanding of how to embody humanity.
Ohhh, Man listen to the woman
Reiterates the call for men to listen to women.
Ohhh, she knows the way to be human
Emphasizes the woman's comprehension of what it means to be human.
No one hears her fears
Highlights that the woman's fears go unheard.
Cause she lost her voice years ago
Indicates she lost her ability to speak out a long time ago.
No one sees her tears
Points out that her tears go unnoticed.
Cause she's become a silent shadow
She's transformed into a silent and unnoticed presence.
It's late o' clock she's already sleepy
She should be asleep at this time but is kept awake due to emotional pain.
But she's awake cause her heartbeat hurts
Her heartache keeps her from sleeping.
Someone's going to hurt her deeply
Anticipates someone causing her profound emotional pain.
And her religion isn't listening to her words
Her beliefs or values aren't acknowledging her distress.
Ohhh, Man listen to the woman
Repetition of the call for men to listen to women.
Ohhh, she knows the way to be human
Reiteration of her understanding of humanity and its expression.
Ohhh, Man listen to the woman
Repeated plea for men to hear women's voices.
Ohhh, she knows the way to be human
Reiterates her comprehension of what it means to be human.
She will never gain a voice
Despite having much to say, she feels voiceless.
But has so many words to say
She lacks the option to speak freely.
Oh lord, she has'nt got a choice
Expresses her lack of choice, possibly due to societal constraints.
So she will pray and pray and pray
She resorts to repetitive prayer as her only recourse.
She asks where he is...
She's searching for something or someone.
Cause now million people need their lord
Highlights the need for help on a grand scale.
She asks where the solution lays
She seeks a solution but feels unanswered.
She prayed too long
She feels she's prayed for too long without results.
Her life comes to short
Her life seems too brief in the face of her struggles.
Her life comes short
Repetition emphasizing the brevity of her life.
Ohhh, Man listen to the woman
Repeated call for men to hear women's voices.
Ohhh, hear the equality of human
Encouragement to perceive equality among humans.
Ohhh, Man listen to the woman
Reiteration of the plea for men to listen to women.
Ohhh, she know the way to be human
Confirms her understanding of what it means to embody humanity.
