lyrics

All men are created equal
but that's as far as it went
Always a bridesmaid
never President

Forever running uphill
How many times we've tried
Silver for the fastest, but
gold for the unqualified

So keep the hearth fires burning
like beacons in the night
While we’re waiting, yearning
Wearing suffragette white

We’ll bear this crown of bruises
and shoulder each defeat
‘til we open up the skies
glass shards at our feet

They can try to bind us
To keep us from their halls
But they could not confine us
to Seneca Falls

So keep the hearth fires burning
Keep working through the night
While our wheels are turning
we’re wearing suffragette white

If we make no imprint
they'll never know we existed
Let our daughters read:
“Nevertheless, she resisted”

Keep the hearth fires burning
like beacons in the night
We’ve been waiting, we’re returning
and wearing our suffragette white

We kept the hearth fires burning
Time to set things right
Time to show what we've been learning
Wearing our suffragette white
