We Did It

They said that we couldn't
That we wouldn't
That we can't
But we did
So they lied
NO longer bound to pots and pans
NO longer soccer moms and maids to our men
They said that we couldn't but we did
We have overcome the circumstance
We are now the pilots of planes,
Soaring to our Destiny
Soldiers in combat, as mighty as military men
They said that we couldn't but we did
PRINCETON and HARVARD are now within our reach
Just like roots of the tree, we are the lifeline
We were born to do more than teach
Young ladies to be seen and heard
Average, that is so absurd
They said we couldn't, yet we did
For we should scream and shout and jump about
To exclaim from the mountain tops
That we did it
For the women that fought before us
I know that they expect more of us
SEE the job is yet to be done
There has yet to be a woman
as the Head of the State
To reign and rule over United States
A woman in charge, in the chain of events
It has a nice ring
A woman in charge
In control of everything
THEY said that we couldn't
That we wouldn't
That we can't
But we did
WE DID IT
