Story Behind The Song
My own life has made me sensitive to fairness and equality for all. I met Natalie Jean at the Indie Collaborative networking group for songwriters -- was very impressed -- and approached her with this idea. She loved it!
Here's a story about it...

Song Description
I grew up taunted in South Carolina as "the dirty Jew boy" ... swastikas carved into my locker. Skipped a grade so was further "different" and alone.
My life led me from despairing thoughts of suicide to achievements. (example: I was the named the youngest VP in the history of Avon Products back when it was the world's #1 Beauty Company and #1 Direct Selling Company.) I also learned the reality that I'm a gay man and have suffered discrimination because of that. ALL of which made me a champion for WOMEN'S rights/
I've been a Feminist since the 70's and oppose all forms of bigotry and discrimination. Reaction to this JUST released song has been tremendous. I'm proud of it.

Lyrics
LOVE YOUR OWN POWER
Mike Greenly & Natalie Jean
VERSE
There are reasons around you
To doubt every move
There are those who will tell you
You're not in the groove
Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin'
You're a woman who knows
That the world can be tough
There'll be folks who will say
That you're just not enough
Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin' ahead!
CHORUS
Love your own Power
This is your time
Be who you are
Each day of your life
Love your own Power
Prove that you can
You can do anything
Just like a man!
Love your own Power
You'll show them how
Own your own Power
Your time is now, your time is now, your time is now
Love your own Power, love your own power, love your own power,
Heeyyyyyyy
Love your own Power, love your own power, love your own power,
Heeyyyyyyy
Love your own Power
VERSE
You'll keep making progress
You'll grow every day
No one can stop you
From having your say
Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin'
Keep fighting for fairness
Every woman has rights
The best men will join us
They, too, see the light
Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin' ahead
CHORUS
Love your own Power
This is your time
Be who you are
Each day of your life
Love your own Power
Prove that you can
You can do anything
Just like a man!
Love your own Power
You'll show them how
Own your own Power
Your time is now, Your time is now, your time is now
Love your own Power, love your own Power, love your own Power
Heyyyyyy
Love your own Power, love your own Power, love your own Power
Heyyyyyy
Love your own Power
