“The First to Stand”

+ Show full styles

🏛️ VERSE 1 The chamber echoed in my shoes, A room not built for women’s views. But I had bills and I had grace, And history waited on my face. 🗳️ CHORUS 🎵 I was the first to stand — but not alone, With voices marching through my bones. I raised the gavel, rang the bell — And wrote the rights they tried to quell. 💼 VERSE 2 They called it bold. I called it due, The law should hear from women too. With every word I crossed that floor, I opened wide a thousand doors. 🏆 BRIDGE (WITH BUILDING ORCHESTRATION) 🎶 Not just to vote… but to be heard, Not just to ask… but to affirm. The seat I held was not my own, It held the weight of all unknowns. 🎶 CHORUS (FULL ORCHESTRA + CHOIR) 🎵 I was the first to stand — and then we ran, From coffee tables to congress plans. We planted flags in every field — And passed the laws they feared we’d wield. 🌟 OUTRO (SPOKEN + SUNG) 🗣️ “Resolution passed.” 🎶 From where I stood… you rise.
