Lyrics
Sister Stand by Kiya Heartwood
Justice is our song
Sister stand, sister stand
Justice is our song
Sister stand
Justice is our song
This fight will heal the wrongs
Our daughters will be strong
Sister stand.
Every woman, girl
Sister stand, sister stand
Every woman, girl
Sister stand
Every woman, girl
Equality unfurled
A mirror to the world
Sister stand.
Our mothers in their graves.
Sister stand, sister stand
Our mothers in their graves.
Sister stand
Our mothers in their graves.
Our silence will not save
Too high a price they paid
Sister stand.
You cannot be free
Brother stand, brother stand
You cannot be free
Brother stand
You cannot be free
Till all share equality
Know true liberty
Brother stand.
Now we must join the line.
Sister stand, sister stand
Now we must join the line
Brother stand
Now we must join the line
Your courage will be mine
And this will be our time
Sister stand.
Now we must join the line
Your courage will be mine
And this will be our time
Sister stand.
