The music video features Allen with the over 80 teen V-Girls and singers bringing their radical RISING energy to locations across NYC.
"Dance is dangerous, joyous, sexual, holy, disruptive, contagious, it breaks the rules. It can happen anywhere, anytime, with anyone and everyone, and it's free. Dancing insists we take up space, we go there together in community. Dance joins us and pushes us to go further and that is why it's at the center of ONE BILLION RISING. With infectious music and lyrics from Tena Clark, amazing vocals by a talented group of V-Girls, and Debbie Allen’s bold choreography, Break The Chain is the anthem that will call up one billion to rise.”
- Eve Ensler
Produced by Eve Ensler and V-Day, the video was directed and shot by South African filmmaker Tony Stroebel, who also co-directed and shot the ONE BILLION RISING short film.
Break the Chain Lyrics
Lyrics by Tena Clark Music by Tena Clark/Tim Heintz
Intro- I raise my arms to the sky On my knees I pray I’m not afraid anymore I will walk through that door Walk, dance, rise Walk, dance, rise
I can see a world where we all live Safe and free from all oppression No more rape or incest, or abuse Women are not a possession
You’ve never owned me, don’t even know me I’m not invisible, I’m simply wonderful I feel my heart for the first time racing I feel alive, I feel so amazing
I dance cause I love Dance cause I dream Dance cause I’ve had enough Dance to stop the screams Dance to break the rules Dance to stop the pain Dance to turn it upside down Its time to break the chain, oh yeah Break the Chain Dance, rise Dance, rise
In the middle of this madness, we will stand I know there is a better world Take your sisters & your brothers by the hand Reach out to every woman & girl
This is my body, my body’s holy No more excuses, no more abuses We are mothers, we are teachers, We are beautiful, beautiful creatures
I dance cause I love Dance cause I dream Dance cause I’ve had enough Dance to stop the screams Dance to break the rules Dance to stop the pain Dance to turn it upside down It’s time to break the chain, oh yeah Break the Chain, oh yeah Break the Chain
Dance Break Inst.
Dance, rise Dance, rise
Sister won’t you help me, sister won’t you rise x4
Dance, rise Dance, rise
Sister won’t you help me, sister won’t you rise x4
This is my body, my body’s holy No more excuses, no more abuses We are mothers, we are teachers, We are beautiful, beautiful creatures
I dance cause I love Dance cause I dream Dance cause I’ve had enough Dance to stop the screams Dance to break the rules Dance to stop the pain Dance to turn it upside down Its time to break the chain, oh yeah Break the Chain, oh yeah Break the Chain
One Woman: A Song for UN Women 8 марта 2013 р., в Международный женский день ООН выпустила песню "Одна женщина" ("One Woman"). Певицы и певцы из разных стран объединились для того, чтобы донести послание: права женщин все еще нужно защищать, так как 7 из 10 женщин в мире подвергаются разным формам насилия, и поэтому только благодаря солидарности и объединению возможно изменить эту ситуацию. song.unwomen.org/
In Kigali, she wakes up, She makes a choice, In Hanoi, Natal, Ramallah. In Tangier, she takes a breath, Lifts up her voice, In Lahore, La Paz, Kampala. Though she’s half a world away Something in me wants to say …
We are One Woman, You cry and I hear you. We are One Woman, You hurt, and I hurt, too. We are One Woman, Your hopes are mine. We shall shine.
In Juarez she speaks the truth, She reaches out, Then teaches others how to. In Jaipur, she gives her name, She lives without shame In Manila, Salta, Embu. Though we’re different as can be, We’re connected, she with me
We are One Woman, Your courage keeps me strong. We are One Woman, You sing, I sing along. We are One Woman, Your dreams are mine. And we shall shine. We shall shine.
And one man, he hears her voice. And one man, he fights her fight. Day by day, he lets go the old ways, One Woman at a time. Though she’s half a world away, Something in me wants to say.
We are One Woman, Your victories lift us all. We are One Woman, You rise and I stand tall. We are One Woman, Your world is mine And we shall shine. Shine, shine, shine. We shall shine Shine, shine, shine. We shall shine. Shine, shine, shine.
