We Are More

My mouth is open, but I can't speak They try to tell me I'm free I see no chains, but I feel restrained As I stand politely and wait The show is over; I see through the curtain I am a person, not a prize If I take off my makeup, do I disappear Would you see the pain in my eyes I am more than a figure plastered on the wall I am here to reclaim my voice And I don't want your power; there's enough for us all I'm human and I make my choice The dollars are stacked up to pay for our silence To keep up sedated and small Our outrage is outlawed, but our love for ourselves Will free us and shatter the lies We're gonna grow bigger, louder, and stronger Together we march, standing tall Sister, don't whisper; get it out there We're demanding the liberty and justice for all I am more than a body for show on a screen I am here with a story to tell I don't want to be looked at; I want to be seen I'm human; I'm not here to please I am more than a figure plastered on the wall I am here to reclaim my voice And I don't want your power; there's enough for us all I'm human and I make my choice We are more than just bodies for show on a screen We are here with a story to tell We don't wanna be looked at; we wanna be seen Do you hear us now Do you hear us now Do you hear us now
