- I am a Muslim woman
- Feel free to ask me why
- When I walk, I walk with dignity
- When I speak I do not lie
- I am a Muslim woman
- Not all of me you'll see
- But what you should appreciate
- Is that the choice I make is free
- I'm not plagued with depression
- I'm neither cheated nor abused
- I don't envy other women
- And I'm certainly not confused Note,
- I speak perfect English
- Et un petit peu de Francais aussi
- I'm majoring in Linguistics
- So you need not speak slowly
- I run my own small business
- Every cent I earn is mine
- I drive my Chevy to school & work
- And no, that's not a crime!
- You often stare as I walk by
- You don't understand my veil
- But peace and power I have found
- As I am equal to any male!
- I am a Muslim woman
- So please don't pity me
- For God has guided me to truth
- And now I'm finally free!
