Lyrics

Verse 1
We come from a line of dreamers and doers,
Mothers who built what they'd never inherit.
Taught to speak soft, not to ruffle the room,
While men took the credit for what women groomed.
Pre-Chorus
They say we're too tender, too wild, too loud,
But the truth's been written in the tears of the proud.
Chorus
We were born to lead, not to follow the line,
Raise our voices, draw the design.
Built this nation, brick by belief,
Yet they still doubt what we can achieve.
Oh, can't you see --
We were born, born to lead.
Verse 2
They crowned the brave but forgot who raised them,
Called us "support," when we were the foundation.
Glass ceilings shimmer like prison glass,
But every crack is a victory's path.
Pre-Chorus
We're not asking for crowns made of gold,
Just a world that sees what we've always known.
Chorus
We were born to lead, not to fade away,
History's written in the things we say.
Our power's steady, our purpose deep,
The promise of change we're sworn to keep.
Yeah, can't you see --
We were born, born to lead.

Bridge
From suffrage lines to the boardroom floor,
From soldiers to mothers to something more.
This country may still turn its cheek,
But the future listens -- and she speaks.

Final Chorus
We were born to lead, hearts fierce and free,
Our time is now, our legacy.
No more shadows, no more pleas,
America, hear us --
We were born to lead.
