[Verse 1] I see the nights you carried it all One hand on the rent, one hand on the wall Baby at your hip, tears in your throat Still you found strength when you had none to hold I see the women by the prison gate Smiling through pain, still they wait Letters in the lunch bag, hope in the smoke Holding that family up when the whole thing broke I see the bruises you covered with grace I see the fear that lived on your face You learned how to breathe through the storm and the noise You kept the house warm, you kept your voice [Pre-Chorus] All those days you thought you might fall You bent, you bled, you stood through it all And if the world forgot your name I’m here to say it out loud again [Chorus] Ladies, I see you I see you I see you You made it through Ladies, I see you I see you I see you Stand up, take a bow [Verse 2] I see the single moms on the double shift Running on empty, still making gifts School forms signed, dinner on time Turning small change into a whole gold mine I see the ones with the private wars Fighting their demons behind closed doors Mind full of storms, heart full of scars Still showing up, still raising stars I see the ones who sold their nights Just to keep their babies with a roof and lights Judged by the world like they weren’t enough But love had you trapped in that desperate stuff [Pre-Chorus] All those days you thought you might fall You bent, you bled, you stood through it all And if the world forgot your name I’m here to say it out loud again [Chorus] Ladies, I see you I see you I see you You made it through Ladies, I see you I see you I see you Stand up, take a bow [Bridge] And the ones who wore the flag for free Who fought and died so we could be Walk through this world with your head held high That freedom came at a heavy price To every mother, every sister, every friend You’ve been surviving and surviving again So if nobody told you today, I will You are enough, and you always will [Chorus] Ladies, I see you I see you I see you You made it through Ladies, I see you I see you I see you Stand up, take a bow [Outro] This one’s for the ladies Yeah, I see you Yeah, I see you Without you, we wouldn’t be
