Intro (Spoken Word)
Oh, my people, listen to me,
I'm not looking for a woman with money alone,
I'm not looking for a woman with the finest clothes,
I'm looking for a woman with a heart of gold.
A woman who knows what truly matters,
A woman who puts her children first.
Verse 1
I'm looking for a woman who understands,
That little children need more than money in their hands.
I'm looking for a woman who can hear a child cry,
And leave everything just to ask the reason why.
A woman with a job and a dream to pursue,
But knows when her children need her love to pull through.
She can chase her ambition, she can reach for the sky,
But won't let her little ones grow up asking why.
Who was there when I needed you?
Who wiped my tears when I was feeling blue?
You were busy making money every day,
But a child's childhood won't wait till you're okay.
Chorus
I'm looking for a woman,
Who loves her children more than her job.
A woman who knows that the love of her children
Is a blessing that money cannot buy.
I'm looking for a woman,
Who puts her family close to her heart.
You can be a queen in the office,
But at home, be a mother from the start.
Call and Response
Who will hold the baby? — mother!
Who will wipe the tears? — mother!
Who will hear the children when they call?
Not a stranger, not a neighbour, but their mother above all!
Money is important! — Yes, we know!
But a mother's love is what helps children grow!
You can buy them shoes, you can buy them gold,
But you cannot buy the years that have already gone!
Verse 2
I'm not saying a woman should abandon her career,
Or forget her dreams because her children are here.
I'm not saying she should stay inside the door,
Or sacrifice her future and become nothing more.
I'm talking about balance, I'm talking about care,
Giving children your time, letting them know you're there.
When the school calls home, don't ignore the sound,
When your child needs guidance, put your phone down.
A child may have a nanny, a mansion and a car,
But still feel lonely underneath the stars.
They may have the finest things money can provide,
Yet wish their mother would sit with them awhile.
One day they will grow, and they'll leave the nest,
And all the money in the world cannot bring back the rest.
So give them your presence while the time is still near,
Because childhood disappears with every passing year.
Chorus
I'm looking for a woman,
Who loves her children more than her job.
A woman who knows that the love of her children
Is a blessing that money cannot buy.
I'm looking for a woman,
Who puts her family close to her heart.
You can be a queen in the office,
But at home, be a mother from the start.
Verse 3
Some women work hard because the bills must be paid,
Some mothers work two jobs just to keep their children safe.
Some are single mothers fighting battles on their own,
Trying to build a better future for the children they call home.
We must give them respect, we must understand their pain,
Not every absent mother is chasing wealth or fame.
Some are working through the darkness just to put food on the plate,
Some are praying for a breakthrough, some are running out of strength.
So I'm not judging mothers who are trying to survive,
I'm asking every parent to keep love and care alive.
If your work takes you away, let your love still show,
Make your children feel important everywhere they go.
A little time, a listening ear,
A gentle hug that says, "I'm here."
These are things no salary can replace,
And no promotion can put a smile upon a child's face.
Bridge
When the office closes, will you come back home?
When your children need you, will you leave them alone?
When the years have passed and they've gone their way,
Will you wish you had given them more time each day?
I'm looking for a woman with wisdom in her heart,
Who understands that motherhood is a beautiful part
Of the life she's building, of the dreams she's chasing,
A woman whose love keeps her children embracing.
Final Chorus
I'm looking for a woman,
Who loves her children more than her job.
Not a woman without ambition,
But a woman whose love cannot be bought.
I'm looking for a woman,
Who knows what her children are worth.
You can conquer the world in your profession,
But your children need your love at home first.
Outro
A job can give you money,
A career can bring you fame,
But your children need your presence,
Not just the family name.
I'm looking for a woman,
With a heart that understands,
That the greatest work she'll ever do
Is to love and raise her children well.
Not just a woman with a job,
Not just a woman with a dream,
But a woman who can balance both,
And make her children's love supreme.
Oh, my people, hear me today:
Your job is important, but don't let your children feel forgotten along the way.
