Opening Spoken Intro Before the crowns were stolen… Before the names were changed… Before the daughters forgot their own reflection… We were queens. ⸻ 🌍 VERSE 1 — AFRICAN DIASPORA / MOTHERLAND From the red earth, from rivers wide We walked with gold and stars as guide Our wombs knew rhythm, rain, and seed We fed the nations every need We were the mothers of grain and fire Builders of dream, desire, empire But storms of iron crossed the sea And tore our babies from the family tree Arms left empty, hearts in chains Salted tears fell down like rain Yet even broken, we carried light Hidden crowns in the dead of night ⸻ 🪶 VERSE 2 — MEETING THE FIRST PEOPLES / NEW LAND (Use care here: not claiming all histories merged identically, but symbolic kinship) In a wounded land our daughters stood Beside the keepers of sky and wood Blackfeet strength and Iroquois flame Hopi wisdom calling our name Cherokee rivers, Seminole pride Apache thunder running beside Women of earth with knowing eyes Taught us how nations survive Through blood and sorrow, seed was sown Roots intertwined where pain had grown Different songs, one heartbeat drum Queendom knew what we’d become ⸻ 🌺 VERSE 3 — INDIAN / SOUTH ASIAN Silk and spice in the morning air Temple bells through whispered prayer Henna hands and warrior grace Fire of goddesses in every face Shakti rising, fierce and bright Moonlit wisdom through the night Mothers who carried worlds unseen Crowned in strength, forever queen ⸻ 🌙 VERSE 4 — WEST ASIAN / MIDDLE EASTERN ROOTS Desert winds and ancient stone Gardens where first stars were known Daughters of cedar, myrrh, and flame History still speaks your name Keepers of language, law, and light Veiled in beauty, bold in fight Through every war your spirit stood Queens of the earth, misunderstood ⸻ 🇰🇷 VERSE 5 — KOREAN / EASTERN STRENGTH Winter branch then blossom spring Quiet steel in everything Silk and sorrow, grace refined Mountains made your steady mind Mothers rising, hands that heal Hearts of iron wrapped in zeal Through divided roads you came Carrying honor like a flame ⸻ 👑 CHORUS — GLOBAL RISE Queendom… rise again Crowned in power, crowned within Every daughter, every skin Lost no more—we rise again Queendom… hear us now Time remembers every vow Nurturers of earth and men Queens forever rise again ⸻ 🔥 BRIDGE They stole the names They broke the land They chained the feet They bound the hands But they never learned What tyrants miss… You cannot kill The mother’s gift. ⸻ FINAL CHORUS Queendom… oceans wide Ancestors are by our side Every nation, every tongue We are many—we are one
