Can you hear them
Fighting society and what fears them

Can you hear their thunderous voices
Bellowing out for equality and a chance to make their own choices

Can you hear their feet
As they march for freedom and not care if they get beat

They lay down their lives
Husbands brothers sisters and wives

Just to get what they were born with that was abruptly taken away
What their society said wasn't theirs in the first place

Can you hear them taking back their liberty
Their fight depicted to be remembered for eternity
