I Am NVP
Statistics measure the problem...
But only you can stop the pain...
Prevention is easier than cure...
So let the change begin...
Four women die each day in this land
Held by a love that cuts too deep
Every ten minutes, somewhere in the world A life is taken while
children sleep
But I won't just sit back and wait Won't let the silence
seal their fate
I run to safety,
I educate myself I keep my chin up,
I'm responsible for me
And for my child,
I will survive
Nonviolence starts with me
I AM NVP!
I pledge to be nonviolent
Respect my body, protect the earth
I AM NVP!
The cycle stops the second I choose To change my world from
the inside out
I AM NVP!
She walked into the shelter,
tears in her eyes Said,
"I never knew my mind was declining A decade of lies,
but I know my truth
God is my witness—I'm not losing" She said,
"I'm a good mother,
I give my all"
Tears filled our eyes as we stood tall
I run to safety,
I educate myself I keep my chin up,
I'm responsible for me
And for my child,
I will survive
Nonviolence starts with me
I AM NVP!
I pledge to be
nonviolent Respect my body,
protect the earth
I AM NVP!
The cycle stops the second I choose To change my world from
the inside out
I AM NVP!

the inside out

the inside out!
