Verse 1
There’s a ribbon on a willow by a dusty roadside mile
A picture taped to weathered wood, a name beneath a smile
Mama’s calling into silence, but the wind don’t answer back
Just another pair of footprints that have vanished off the map
Verse 2
Amelia lights a candle, I’m staring at the sky
Counting all the missing stars no one’s asking why
We hear their voices in the quiet, in every broken prayer
Girls who should be dancing still, but they’re not anywhere
Chorus
Where did they go, who’s keeping score
Why ain’t the world knocking on their door
These daughters, sisters, stolen away
While justice looks the other way
We won’t be still, we won’t let go
We’ll say their names till the whole world knows
Through every tear and every cry
We’ll bring them home or we’ll die trying
Verse 3
Forgotten by the headlines, buried under time
Another case goes cold while we’re drawing the line
No more shadows in the margins, no more silent blame
We’re standing with their families, calling every name
Bridge
Every mile we walk, every truth we raise
Every story told is a fire that won’t fade
From the rez to the city streets
We won’t rest till their hearts can beat
Chorus
Where did they go, who’s keeping score
Why ain’t the world knocking on their door
These daughters, sisters, stolen away
While justice looks the other way
We won’t be still, we won’t let go
We’ll say their names till the whole world knows
Through every tear and every cry
We’ll bring them home or we’ll die trying
Outro
So tie another ribbon where the silence grows
We’re the voice for the ones nobody chose
Amelia and me, we’ll carry the flame
Till the world remembers every single name
