International Women's Day
For too many years they have just been “this”
And achievements were not recognised
But the brave ones did stand up and forced us to see
And at first their views just were chastised
Yes although still not equal, good changes exist
And to those yes we must raise a glass
To the brave ones who pushed us and made us see clear
That they’re more so much more than an ass
And although I am lucky that I have good folks
Who have taught me we’ve all the same rights
There’s still too many people who don’t accept this
Through awareness they’re all in our sights
See they’re now found in boardrooms, in sport and in space
And each day go to school more and more
‘Cause the drumbeat of passion inside of their hearts
Is increasing each day to a roar
But it’s clear the work’s not done and things still aren’t right
Though together we can make it happen
From the great Mrs Pankhurst to my Mum and friends
Keep on fighting, be brave, love your passion.
