Verse 1 Light the candle, hear the coquí sing Ancient mothers moving through the breeze Florida water, rosemary and rue Everything they tried to break, I grew Born from oceans, born from storms Blessed by hands that came before Grandmothers dancing in my veins Moon and salt inside my name Pre-Chorus Sister, come closer to the flame Leave behind the fear and shame Tonight the ancestors are near You don’t have to carry tears Chorus We are the daughters of the moon Born beneath Caribbean skies Brujas woven out of truth With the ocean in our eyes Guarded by Yemayá’s waves And the stars that know our names Every woman born from magic Will rise again through sacred flames Verse 2 For the women buried under pain For the girls who learned to hide their names Call your spirit, call it home No queen was meant to walk alone Black and brown and kissed by sun Daughters of the islands come Every scar and every line Proof our mothers survived the night Verse 3 Rue and cinnamon by the door White candles on the kitchen floor Shells and honey, sea and rain Prayers carried through our veins Ancestors surrounding me Whispering, “Mija, believe” Nothing lost stays gone forever Love returns like changing weather Bridge No envy here No evil eye Another queen’s light won’t steal mine If she shines Then let her shine The moon gives light to all at one time Dance with me beneath the stars Leave your sorrow where you are Our blood remembers sacred things And love is what our spirit sings Final Chorus We are the daughters of the moon Children of the sacred sea Brujas full of grace and truth Wild, untamed, and finally free Raise your voices, let them hear We survived what broke the chains Every woman born from magic Will rise again through sacred flames Outro Light the candle, say her name Pray for healing, not for fame Mother Moon, Yemayá, watch over me May every daughter walk in peace…
