Let silent lips speak the loudest
Of what the birds need sing,
Roar it to the mountains
What good news we bring
Let the weak raise feeble limbs
And every wet eyes dry,
You no longer have to bury your dreams,
Or behind the male do hide
For our dream were shattered,
Because it was a girl’s
Maybe we are born and bred,
To piper low and live in fear
Just like a bird we were given wings
And told not to fly,
We are to wait for a messiah
On whose feet we must lie
Tell it to the girls in the east,
And to the girls in the west,
It’s time get on your feet,
And live your dreams to your best
Your daughters no longer should shrink,
To make themselves smaller,
Girls too can reach that zenith,
For success has no gender
