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
