Peter Gabriel
Shaking the Tree (Secret World Live)
[Intro]
[?]
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
[Verse 1]
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
You don't want to do what your mother has done
She has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
[Refrain]
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
[Chorus]
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
[Verse 2]
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
Find your sisters and brothers
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
[Refrain]
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
[Chorus]
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
[Verse 3]
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel
[Bridge]
You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all
We're gonna break it down
We're gonna shake it down
Shake it all around
[Instrumental Break]
Mr. Tony Levin, shaking his tree
Mr. Manu Katché, shaking two trees
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
[Refrain]
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
Mr. David Rhodes
[Refrain]
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
It's your day
A woman's day
[Outro]
You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all
We're gonna break it down
We're gonna shake it down
Shake it all around
