(younger voices)
Forward into Light, A new day has begun
Marching boldly to the future, Justice has been won
We have found our voices, Hear our song throughout the land
Failure is impossible, The vote is in our hands
(older voices)
Failure was impossible, We struggled for so long
We were ridiculed and silenced, But the work was carried on
Failure was impossible, Our vision was too strong
We planned and marched and lobbied, Then our daughters carried on
Together:
Forward into Light -- Failure was impossible
A new day has begun -- We struggled for so long
Marching boldly to the future -- We were ridiculed and silenced
A new day has begun -- But the work was carried on
We have found our voices Failure was impossible
Hear our song throughout the land -- Our vision was too strong
Failure is impossible -- We planned and marched and lobbied
The vote is in our hands -- Then our daughters carried on
