Daughters

Here in the dark Everything that once was becomes a tiny spark Looking back from the next century What do they see? The names of the girls who laid the stones Names long forgotten, never scribbled in the tomes But they were strong and indestructible Their hearts were full Now the edifice of women's liberty It is almost complete Protected and serene, the rich women still Honing their malevolent skills Growing bolder in their treachery Selling for free There are those who are willing to vilify Their sisters 'cross the land and declare them quick to cry Saying don't trust them with the privilege Don't even try Will they be waiting for the victory? Or sit and watch the country as it bleeds? The enemies of our cause try to stop us But before the vote is won We can't leave the fight to the daughters of our daughters So we go into the fray Shoulders bare, feel the fire and liberate Women in the schools and counting houses In shops and on the farms, they're all around us They've got babies crying at their breasts Sun sinks in the west The veins of these women are not filled with milk and water These are mothers of bold American daughters But they are not afraid They're lying in wait Listening for the bugle call to send them in Suffrage is the only way to end The enemies of our cause try to stop us But before the vote is won We can't leave the fight to the daughters of our daughters So we go into the fray, shoulders bare Take the punches to our faces Feel the fire in our bones and liberate When will we be ready for the victory? (When will we be ready for the victory?) Will we ever be ready for the victory?
