Sing Sister versuri

Versuri Adia – Sing Sister lyrics

I wiped the dawn from the windows
Folded yesterday away
Kept the kettle warm, the small hands fed
The quiet bills paid
They named me by the work—apron, anchor, steady home—
But my chest holds thunder
And my feet remember roads unknown
Lift, sister, lift—
Let your true name rise
Hold, sister, hold—let your spirit fly
Night shift, day shift
Counting hours that never counted me
Sweeping floors, mending seams
Keeping promises no one sees
,They call me mother, keeper, labor—
Titles pinned like weight—
I am more than lists and labels; I am a tide, I am a gate
We carry unpaid hours like stones
We carry lullabies and ledgers
We turn small tasks into drumbeats
And quiet work into anthems
We rise—more than the work, more than the name
We rise—we are the fire
We are the flame, Lift, sister, lift—clap it out
Feel the ground
We are not just what they call us
We are the sound. Who are you when the labels fall?
We are more—strong, whole, and tall
What will you carry into the light?
Our songs, our steps, our right. I ironed the mornings
I held the nights at bay
I learned to hide my hunger so the children could play
But hunger makes a rhythm and silence finds a voice—
I trade the hush for chorus; I choose to rise, I choose to rejoice
Stand, sister, stand—let your courage show
Shine, sister, shine—let the rivers know
They stuck names to our backs
—housewife, laborer, wife—
We peel them off with dancing hands and claim a larger life
One apron becomes a banner; one meal becomes a march
We turn the daily into movement, the small into a spark
We rise—more than the apron, more than the role
We rise—every heartbeat, every soul
Sing it loud, sister—stamp the floor, let the rafters ring
We are many, we are whole, we are everything
Lift, sister, lift—lift up your name
Not just mother, not just wife—
Lift up your flame
Step by step, clap it out, dance through the night
We are labor and love and light
One brave breath becomes a chorus that crosses seas
One steady step becomes a road for those who follow
We are labeled and luminous, bound and free—sisters, arise
We work, we love, we lead; we sing, we dance, we rise
