First of Her Name

[Verse 1]
Cap and gown
Laces tied
Coffee stains on the notes you write
Every all-nighter
Every closed door
You turned to ash on the dorm room floor
First to walk through the gates this far
Carrying all of our broken stars
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when you said
"I'm so tired
But I won't bend"
Now the pages all ignite
As you step into the light
[Chorus]
Raise your hand
My sister
Claim your flame
You carved this path
First of her name
From empty halls to your golden stage
You broke the lock
You left the cage
Sing it loud
The future’s on your side
Every scar now shining like a sign
We are roaring every time you rise
My sister
My hero in my eyes
[Verse 2]
Text at dawn
"think I failed"
Tears and laughs on a midnight rail
You kept walking when the ground shook
Bet your life on a fragile book
Now your gown sways like armor plates
Boots ring out on the metal grates
[Pre-Chorus]
Every doubt that tried to chain
Melted down in your own flame
Hear the campus crack and quake
As the old walls start to break
[Chorus]
Raise your hand
My sister
Claim your flame
You carved this path
First of her name
From empty halls to your golden stage
You broke the lock
You left the cage
Sing it loud
The future’s on your side
Every scar now shining like a sign
We are roaring every time you rise
My sister
My hero in my eyes
[Bridge]
[Half-time
Choir-style gang vocals under lead]
Walk that line
Head held high
Every step
Is a battle cry
Take that scroll
Like a blazing sword
Cut your way
To a wider world (hey!)
[Chorus]
Raise your hand
My sister
Claim your flame
You carved this path
First of her name
From empty halls to your golden stage
You broke the lock
You left the cage
Sing it loud
The future’s on your side
Every scar now shining like a sign
We are roaring every time you rise
My sister
My hero in my eyes
