Listen to the Girls

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

[Verse 1]

When are we gonna open up our ears

And stop drowning their voices in their sea of tears

When are we gonna drop the foolish pretense

And stop calling their wisdom... a mere coincidence

[Prechorus]

The girls

Are standing their ground

They’re breaking through

But we look away like we’ve got no clue

[Chorus]

We've got to start

to listen to the girls

They’re shouting out so loud

Breaking down the silence

While silencing the crowd

It's time to listen to the truth

Cuz baby it's long overdue

Credit’s not borrowed

It’s earned by you

We've got to start

to listen to the girls

[Verse 2]

When are we gonna ditch the bro code

Stop driving this bus down the same old road

When are we gonna stand up

Strong and tall

And admit their climb’s the steepest one of all

[Prechorus]

The girls are writing history

Line by line

Yet we pretend it’s just not their time

[Chorus]

We've got to start

to listen to the girls

They’re shouting out so loud

Breaking down the silence

While silencing the crowd

It's time to listen to the truth

Cuz baby it's long overdue

Credit’s not borrowed

It’s earned by you

We've got to start

To listen to the girls
