Lyrics:

Mothers, daughters, sisters, soldiers
The backbone that makes our country strong
We fight hard to make it home
It feels like we stand alone

Being a woman was just a crime
They wouldn’t let us cross the combat line
See, freedom isn’t really free
Some wounds you will never see
They say that we’ll heal with time

CHORUS
We stand together
Can’t break our stride
Women of valor
We fight to survive
Silenced no more
You’ll hear us roar
Our bond is strong
We will never, never, never go wrong

Mothers, daughters, sisters, soldiers
The more we struggle it make us tough
We fight hard to prove you wrong
We get pushed down and still go on

We can hold a rifle –like any man
And still you shame us just because you can
See, freedom is isn’t really free
Our struggles you will never see
No, you cannot take our pride

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You can’t hold me down
-Listen to my heart beat proudly
I am stronger now
-Stronger now,stronger now

You can’t hold me down
-Talkin’to survivors loudly
I am stronger now
-Stronger now,stronger now

CHORUS X2
We will always – soldier on
