We are here, can’t you see?

I am your worse nightmare,
I am your freakish dream,
I am your milk, your honey,
The porridge and the cream.

Look at me! Look at me!
I am here, can’t you see?

I birthed you and bedded you,
I trained you and wedded you.

I am here, can’t you see?
Look at me! Look at me!

I held you when night fell,
And caressed you in the day,
I am the one who licked your wounds;
I am your hunted prey.

Look at me! Look at me!
I am here, can’t you see?

Mother, sister, wife or friend
Always here until the end.

I am here, can’t you see?
Look at me! Look at me!

I carried your babies,
I danced until dawn,
I vowed to be with you
But you said, “move on.”

Look at me! Look at me!
I am here, can’t you see?

I did it all; I did it well,
Created life in this living hell.

I am here, can’t you see?
Look at me! Look at me!

Where is my bread?
Where is my care?
The waves overcome me,
I struggle for air.

Look at me! Look at me!
I am here, can’t you see?

I will yell out my name
I will take no more blame.

I am here, can’t you see?
Look at me! Look at me!

I am not your bitch,
Your cunt or your whore.
I will not be grabbed
Or thrown to the floor.

Look at me! Look at me!
I am here, can’t you see?

I bleed just like you,
My bruises turn blue.

I am here, can’t you see?
Look at me! Look at me!

I have had enough,
I will take it no more!
Listen to the crowds
The din and the roar.

Look at us! Look at us!
We are here, can’t you see?

The debt has come due
And the payer is you.

We are here, can’t you see?
Look at us! Look at us!

We have a value
Our worth is immense
This time there’s no running,
We play only offense.

Look at us! Look at us!
We are here, can’t you see?

See us every color, see us every shape.
No more excuses for violence and rape

We are here, can’t you see?
Look at us! Look at us!

The reckoning is upon you,
We united as one,
We have only each other,
No bullets, no gun.

Look at us! Look at us!
We are here, can’t you see?

We come all together,
We chant as we walk,
The time is for action,
We won’t take just talk.

We are here, can’t you see?
Look at us! Look at us!

We will fight in the light
We will fight in the night.

Look at us! Look at us!
We are here, can’t you see?

We reject your golden god,
We spit in his face,
This is our time
And we chose this place.

We are here, can’t you see?
Look at us! Look at us!

Look at us! Look at us!
We are here, can’t you see?
