The March (We Demand Equality) Lyrics > Suffs

Mister President, hear our cry
(Mister President, hear our cry)

We the women of the country
(We the women of the country)
We the women of the country

We demand to be heard
(We demand to be heard)

We demand to be seen
(We demand to be seen)

We demand equality
And nothing in between
(Equality)

We demand to be heard
(We demand to be heard)

We demand to be known
(We demand to be known)

We demand a voice of our own

(We demand an amendment
We demand an amendment)

We demand
(We demand an amendment
We demand an amendment)

I’ve never felt so alive before
(Out here together)

I realize I’m not alone anymore
I feel a part of something
Bigger than me
(Feel a part of something bigger)

Something bigger exploding away
I feel my word about to change
I want to feel it change

We demand to be seen
(We demand to be seen)

We demand to be heard
(We demand to be heard)

We demand our dignity
Will never be deferred
(Our dignity)

We demand to be seen
(We demand to be seen)

We demand to be known
(We demand to be known)

We demand a voice of our own
(We demand an amendment
(We demand an amendment)
We demand an amendment)

We demand
(We demand an amendment)
We demand an amendment
But then,
A mob of sneering men storm the street

Oh no
(Oh no)

Retreat
(Retreat)

Hundreds of hooligans
Spit and jeer
Grabbing my hair
Smacking my rear
Will we make it down the avenue in one piece

Where are the policemen?
(Where are the police?)

Get back
(Get back)

Make way
(Make way)

You’re not stopping us today
(Not today)

Get back
(Get back)

Step aside
(Step aside)

Won’t let you break our stride
Let’s push our way through
The thoroughfare

(Mister President, hear our cry)

Inch by inch, we’ll make it there

(Mister President, hear our cry)

I want my mother to know I was here
I want my sisters to know I was here
I want my great-granddaughter to know
I was here
(I was here)

I want my students to know I was here
(I was here)

I want my niece to know I was here
(I was here)

I want your great-granddaughter to know
I was here
(I was here)

I was here
I was here
I was here
I was
I was here
I was here
I was here
I was here
I want your great-granddaughter to know
I was here
I was here!

We demand to be heard
We demand to be seen
We demand equality and nothing in between
Equality

We demand to be heard
We demand
We demand to be known
We demand to be known
We demand a voice of our own

We demand to be heard
We demand to be seen
We demand equality now!
