why is it my fault i don't have a voice
when it's you and your world that silenced me
i was just a quick learner
wasn't it your job to teach me to speak
wasn't it your words i could learn to preach
wasn't it up to you to see the future in your daughter's eyes
the hope behind the blue
or did that scare you
because it meant changing yourself
but didn't you see
the evolution of you meant the evolution of me
of my daughters, and their daughters
of my sons, and their sons
a ripple creates waves
you had that power
by birthright were given that power
but you didn't use your power to create waves
only fear
so i found my own power
lifted my own voice, my own words
into the ocean of sound
waves of women
the hope behind the blue
