Sarahs Words lyrics by Lucia Dostal

Verse 1
Take a moment and just pause
Before you continue to talk
Do you have anything nice to say?
Choose your words wisely, ‘cause I’m not here to play

Verse 2
High above us you stand
With your head in the sand
Respected and valued, a nice touch
Forever pushing for the day when that could be us

Pre-Chorus
And even through a lifetime
Somehow we’ve moved backwards
A dangerous chimney you dared to climb
You took the wings from the birds

Chorus
You stepped on our feet
And we know
I ask no favor for my sеx
Just take your feet off of our necks

Is this reality?
Now wе know
When you take away our rights
That shit just can’t be right

Bridge
Take a moment
Just pause
You are lost in backwards and upside-down thought

You’ve been messing with something
Now you’ve been caught
A difficult game
But we can see your cards

Big decisions
Are being made by those
Who shouldn’t have a say
Their ignorance shows

If only you listened to Sarah Grimké
In 1836 and we are still fighting today

Pre-Chorus
And even through a lifetime
Somehow we’ve moved backwards
A dangerous chimney you dared to climb
You took the wings from the birds

Chorus
You stepped on our feet
So we know
I ask no favor for my sex
Just take your feet off of our necks

Is this reality?
Her letters read
That the world’s designed for you
Women battle to be seen

Outro
You stepped on our feet
So we know
That the powerful and free
Don’t give a shit ‘bout you and me

Sarah’s words are clear
Oooooo
We ask no favor for our sex
Just take your feet off of our necks
