She Did by Sarah Lake (Americana) Lyrics

She sat on the back of the bus divided by invisible lines
Until Rosa got the courage to speak up
Changing black and white

Then 25 years later on Sally went where no lady should go
But then she put her spacesuit on and flew til that glass ceiling broke

Because they broke the chains and changed the world
Broke the mold gave us a turn
And they said she’d never get those shoes to fit
She did

We all have their thread in us to share our brave and share our pride
Our mothers put it in our blood we all deserve a welcome sign

Because they broke the chains and changed the world
Broke the mold gave us a turn
And they said she’d never get those shoes to fit
She did

We’ll keep building those bridges and marking the path so the ones after us don’t have to go back
Because we broke the chains and changed the world
Broke the mold gave us a turn
And they said we’d never get those shoes to fit
We did

Because she did she did
