| We’re used to curling our toes
|
| When the fire burns below
|
| Never freed from this slow-burning bed we’ve made
|
| With our apathy
|
| Growing in us, our tree
|
| We were not born to be controlled
|
| Lived quietly just to be told
|
| They’d break us into silence
|
| Well, is the damage done yet?
|
| Hope is a burden in the wrong hands
|
| And theirs are holding us down
|
| Dying in us, our tree
|
| We were not born to be controlled
|
| Lived quietly just to be told
|
| They’d break us into silence
|
| Well, is the damage done yet?
|
| Sing without and take a bow
|
| You’ll never break the glass ceiling
|
| You are here to be a voice in their making
|
| Sing no words; |
| they’re meaningless
|
| When they come from a woman
|
| Sing it now, tell him now
|
| «You'll never take mine!» |
