Chorus:

When you want things changed, call in your sisters
Call in your mothers, Call in the grannies!
There’s no power on earth that can resist us,
Because we hold u-p , half the sky.

We never will forget, grandma was a suffragist.
We’re fighting still for voting rights, and some don’t have them yet.
But we won’t sit and sigh, burst into tears and cry.
The world won’t change with-ou-out us, we hold up half the sky.

Chorus

We’re singing out our praise, and thanks in these new days,
For Rashida, Alexandria, Ilhan—they all amaze.
Young women who’ll defy, bad powers’ evil eye.
They’re women out to change the world, helping hold up half the sky.

Chorus

Just look around you now, and you will see just how.
We women here can change the world, ’cause we’ve got the know-how.
So we don’t sit and sigh, we raise our arms up high.
To show the world that women’s strength, holds up more than half the sky.

Final Chorus

When you want things changed, call in your sisters
Call in your mothers, Call in the grannies!
There’s no power on earth that can resist us,
Because we hold up more than half the sky.
