aoife o'donovan - daughters lyrics

Loading...

here in the dark
everything that once was becomes a tiny spark
looking back from the next century
what will they see?

the names of the girls who laid the stones
names long forgotten+ never scribbled in tomes
they were strong and indestructible
their hearts were full

now the edifice of women’s liberty
it is almost complete
but protected and serenе the rich women are still
honing thеir malevolent sk!lls
growing bolder in their treachery
selling for free

there are those who are willing to vilify
their sisters ‘cross the land+ they declare them too quick to cry
saying don’t trust them with the privilege
don’t even try

will we ever be ready for a victory?
or sit and watch the country as it bleeds?

the enemies of our cause they 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 schools and counting houses, in shops and on the farm they’re all around us
they got babies crying at their br++sts, sun sinks in the west

the veins of these women are not filled with milk and water
these are mothers of bold american daughters
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 they try to stop us
but before the vote is won, we can’t leave the fighting 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?
will we ever be ready for the victory?
