One day they will know ..

Behind the curtains of morals, 

and behind society's lies, 

there's an innocent lass I know, 

to be understood she tries. 

She was looked down on 

when she celebrated. 

She tried to live a life 

and she was berated. 

The world is too biased,

She couldn't know why. 

They clipped off her wings, 

when she was set to fly. 

No one paid a heed, 

she had her dreams too. 

Her acquaintances were many, 

but those who cared were few. 

When she passed by the streets, 

they whispered and they stared. 

But to stand by her shoulders, 

no one had ever dared.

One day some men must know, 

that every girl deserves respect. 

That by making laws of its own, 

society can never be correct. 

For years, we have been blind, 

one day the world must see, 

that any girl should have no fear, 

that every woman must live free. 

One day they will all know, 

that our women are our pride. 

Unharmed and untouched they must be, 

We will stand by their side.
