lyrics

There’s a missing piece of beauty in our history,
It’s been missing for so many centuries,
Time to uncover the mystery..
‘cause we’re tired of giving up,
Yes we’re tired of giving up,
The credit, the merit, the credit , the merit,
Yeah we’re tired of giving up,
We are tired of giving up,

Don’t tell me where I belong,
You can’t keep me silent for long,
‘cause I gotta song to sing like every other soul,
You’re trying to make me feel weaker,
But I’m just trying harder,
And I’m getting tired of sons being picked over daughters,
Yeah and we’re tired of giving up,
We’re tired of being erased,
Oh she was just another pretty face, oh no,
We are tired of giving up,
Yes we’re tired of giving up,

Yeah we’ve sang, and we’ve played,
Worked so hard underpaid,
And so much brilliance has been kept in the dark,
It’s time to uncover the mystery…
