lyrics

My mouth is open, but I can’t speak
They try to tell me I’m free
I see no chains, but I feel restrained
As I stand politely and wait

The show is over; I see through the curtain
I am a person, not a prize
If I take off my makeup, do I disappear?
Would you see the pain in my eyes?

I am more than a figure plastered on the wall
I am here to reclaim my voice
And I don’t want your power; there’s enough for us all
I’m human and I make my choice

The dollars are stacked up to pay for our silence
To keep up sedated and small
Our outrage is outlawed, but our love for ourselves
Will free us and shatter the lies

We’re gonna grow bigger, louder, and stronger
Together we march, standing tall
Sister, don’t whisper; get it out there
We’re demanding the liberty and justice for all

I am more than a body for show on a screen
I am here with a story to tell
I don’t want to be looked at; I want to be seen
I’m human; I’m not here to please

I am more than a figure plastered on the wall
I am here to reclaim my voice
And I don’t want your power; there’s enough for us all
I’m human and I make my choice

We are more than just bodies for show on a screen
We are here with a story to tell
We don’t wanna be looked at; we wanna be seen
Do you hear us now?
Do you hear us now?
Do you hear us now?
