Verse 1
As I look in the mirror, what do I see?
The wisdom of ages - my “ancestory";
A crinkle or 2 - the laughter of lines.
Got my eyes wide open - these are all different signs…

Pre-Chorus
…That I’m a mother, a daughter, a friend and a wife,
A woman who’s entering a new stage of life!

Chorus
‘Cause I’m a {beat} Wise Woman, can’t you see?
…That I’m a Wise Woman, just look at me!

Verse 2
Though my baby-makin’ days may be over and done,
It sure doesn’t mean that I still can’t have fun.
So move over baby, I’ll… show you some…
‘Cause I know where I’m going and I know where I’ve come!

Pre-Chorus
…’Cause I’m a mother, a daughter, a friend and a wife,
A woman who’s entering a new stage of life!

Chorus
‘Cause I’m a {beat} Wise Woman, can’t you see?
…That I’m a Wise Woman, just look at me!

Bridge (Spoken)
Wise.
Wise Woman.
Woman…


Verse 3
And inside me a fire’s beginning to rise.
The roles I have played, now harmonize.
I’ve set the stage; I’ve written my part.
You know you’re never too old to follow your heart!

Pre-Chorus (Variant)
‘Cause you’re a mother, a daughter, a friend and a wife,
A sister, a teacher and a healer of strife
Uh huh, a mover and a shaker, a lover of life!
	A woman who’s entering,
(A woman who’s entering),
A woman who’s entering
…A new stage of life…!

Chorus
You’re a {beat} Wise Woman, can’t you see?
…That you’re a Wise Woman, as wise as me!

Coda
A Wise Woman, can’t you see?
…That you’re a Wise Woman as wise as me!
Wise Woman, can’t you see?
Yeah, Wise Woman…!
Wise Woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wise Woman!
Wise Woman!
