Lyrics
STILL HERE
She was a warrior
I fell in line
I gave up dresses
As I watched my sisters cry
I'm alive
She broke tradition
Didn't do my hair
I went to college
But still she did not care
That I'm still here
Through all the tears
I'm still here
Through all the tears
I'm still here
She built a city
Couldn't shave my legs
She wouldn't be with me
So she sent me away
But I'm ok
Through all the tears
I'm still here
Through all the tears
I'm still here
Through all the tears
Love is a warning
And such a curse
Newrise is calling
Am I her
Through all the tears
I'm still here
Through all the tears
I'm still here
Through all the tears..
Through all the tears
