Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a statement my granddaughter, Brittany, sent me.

Song Description

"Woman to Woman" is a quiet, heartfelt confession wrapped in a simple acoustic guitar. Inspired by the real words of a woman navigating life on her own terms, the song captures the balance between independence and the soft ache for connection. It's honest, unpolished in the best way, and speaks to every woman who's built her own world yet still hopes for someone to share it with. This is strength without armor, vulnerability without apology -- a late-night truth spoken softly across the table, woman to woman.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In my thirties, got my own place,
Paying bills with a smile on my face.
Every decision, it's all on me,
Building a life that I thought I'd foresee.
Some days I stand tall, feeling so free,
Other days I wish someone could just see,
This heart is strong but it still wants to sway,
Yearns for a touch, for warmth at the end of the day.

(Chorus)
Woman to woman, we fight this fight,
Finding balance in the waning light,
Grateful for my space, my freedom too,
But I still dream of love that's true.
It's heavy some days, this weight that we bear,
Lifting ourselves but still longing for care.

(Verse 2)
I wake up in the morning, a list in my hand,
Taking on the world, just me, I stand.
Yet in the quiet night, when shadows play,
I sometimes ache for a word to say,
How hard it is to conquer each day,
While wishing for comfort in the softest way.
From coffee shop dreams to late-night chats,
Strong enough to rise, but oh, how I'd relax.

(Chorus)
Woman to woman, we fight this fight,
Finding balance in the waning light,
Grateful for my space, my freedom too,
But I still dream of love that's true.
It's heavy some days, this weight that we bear,
Lifting ourselves but still longing for care.

(Bridge)
So here's to the nights, we cry without shame,
Embracing the struggle, not hiding the pain.
We look in the mirror and see what we've made,
A warrior's heart, a serenade.
But deep inside, the truth remains clear,
Wanting a soft place to land, someone near.

(Verse 3)
There's nothing wrong with seeking the light,
With wanting both freedom and love in our sight.
You can be strong, with a story to tell,
Yet wish for a partner to know you so well.
I'm proud of this journey and all that I've grown,
Yet sometimes I wish I could share my home.

(Chorus)
Woman to woman, we fight this fight,
Finding balance in the waning light,
Grateful for my space, my freedom too,
But I still dream of love that's true.
It's heavy some days, this weight that we bear,
Lifting ourselves but still longing for care.

(Outro)
So if you're out there, feeling the weight,
Just know it's okay to communicate.
Woman to woman, let's lift one another,
For in this wild ride, we are each other's cover.
