A woman with a voice;
Lucrezia Borgia was
A woman with a choice.
For she had her own mind;
Fearless, unafraid; thus
A woman with a voice.
A beauty hard to find
She fights for her own cause;
A woman with a choice.
She was one of a kind,
Going against the laws,
A woman with a voice.
Slandered, left behind,
Tormented by her flaws,
A woman with a choice.
History was unkind
To this princess who was
A woman with a voice,
A woman with a choice.
