Lyrics to Song of Daughters

What you built was trying to destroy us

The sun grows warm and brighter every day

Distract, despise, define and deploy us

We’re still the wave that’s coming out to play, to play

So clear the way

Did you think we’d sit around obeying

While on the ground, the sand just slipped away

Surprised you’d sink as low as you’re displaying

But we have found the chains have deep decay, we broke the cage

So clear the way

We’re closing in, the wheels will change direction

Our fathers’ sins will rot into the earth

And tumbling down, the greedy gold erections

With every daughter born to know her worth, and have her say

So clear the way

Well did you think we’d keep the blindfolds tied up tight

And wear these gags around our mouths without a fight

Beneath your feet, we feed on iron to bear your weight

And now we’re rising from your dirt, so clear the way

We rise, we rise….so clear the way

Surprise, surprise….so clear the way

Come face to face…so clear the way

We take our place…so clear the way
