Lyrics

Every movement has to start somewhere
Someone has to stand up to clear the air
We’ve got to be willing to fight when the world’s not right
We’ve got to be brave to shine a light
At Seneca Falls they started it all
Let me tell you a story
It’s kind of scary to think about it
There was a time in our history
With a lot more rules on who a girl could be
She couldn’t vote
She couldn’t get a good job
She couldn’t go to college
And her husband owned her stuff
And that was wrong
And it needed to change
So good people stood up to pave the way
At Seneca Falls they gave the call
To unite the fight for women’s rights In the USA, 1848
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
From New York State
Together with women from the Quaker Faith
Held a convention
It was the first of its kind
With 300 people who were of a like mind
They spelled it out
In a Declaration of Sentiments on man’s oppression
It was sixteen reasons to fight
A rallying cry
At Seneca Falls they gave the call
To unite the fight for women’s rights In the USA, 1848
Every movement has to start somewhere
Someone has to stand up to clear the air
We’ve got to be willing to fight when the world’s not right
We’ve got to be brave to shine a light
At Seneca Falls they started it all
