Here is our story, a right to equality.

A woman fights for rights in the city.

Another, fought for the right to vote.

Never giving up hope, they fought to the end.

Before the mother with no other choice now has a voice.

Do you hear my voice?

We were fought for before we were born.

By people not everyone adored.

The fight for women's rights caused many a sleepless night.

The right to equal pay did not come in a day.

The right to choose how we live was not easy to give.

The right to equality in the workplace was taken pace by pace.

The strength to fight for equality is burning.

It is worth discerning.

We have the right to fight.

Our story has come full circle.

Now it is time to close.

We have tasted equality.

It is strong in the city.
