via bella - she persisted lyrics

[verse:]
susan was born in a time when women
were silent, and meek
but she refused to keep quiet
like it or not, she would speak
she was told that if she were so bold as to just speak her mind
she would find herself blacklisted

[refrain:]
she was warned
she was given an explanation
nevertheless, she persisted

[verse:]
ruby was just six years old
when she found herself facing that horde
but she wouldn’t let up, she just held her head up
and her courage could not be ignored
she was warned that she would be scorned and unmourned
they insisted – she resisted

[refrain:]
she was warned
she was given an explanation
nevertheless, she persisted

[chorus:]
here’s to strong women
may we know them
be them
raise them
here’s to strong women
what we owe them
when we see them
we should praise them

[verse:]
bree climbed the pole at the state house
saying “in the name of god this flag comes down today!”
the flag was confederate and it’s to her credit that
in two weeks that flag had gone away
the police said she’d not be released
or have a moment’s peace ’til she ceased and desisted

[refrain:]
she was warned
she was given an explanation
nevertheless, she persisted

[chorus:]
here’s to strong women
may we know them
be them
raise them
here’s to strong women
what we owe them
when we see them
we should praise them

[verse:]
she was censored and censured but never surrendered
elizabeth was shunned into silence
they didn’t let her read coretta scott king’s letter
but her compliance left room for defiance
the other team didn’t mean rule 19 to be memed
imgur existed so we -ssisted

[refrain:]
she was warned
she was given an explanation
nevertheless, she persisted

she persisted
