[Intro]
They said, be quiet, be small, be good
But we remember what they did in the dark
And we’re not quiet anymore
[Verse 1]
They hide their sins in marble halls
They wear their crimes in suits and smiles
We were fourteen, they were kings
Now we’re here to burn their lies
[Chorus]
Who are they protecting?
When they silence our names
Who are they protecting?
While they hide their shame
The truth is a wound that’s still bleeding
And we’re done with the pain
Tell us, who are they protecting?
When they all know the names
[Verse 2 ]
They took our youth and called it power
They took our fear and sold it sweet
Now the files are locked away
Where justice can’t compete
[Bridge]
(We see you…)
Behind the walls, behind the money
(We hear you…)
In your silence, cold and cunning
(We’re coming…)
For your secrets, for your sins
(We’re rising…)
Till the truth begins
[Chorus]
Who are they protecting?
When the children still cry
Who are they protecting?
While the guilty walk by
We are the daughters they can’t erase
We carry the truth in every face
[Outro]
Who are they protecting?
Who are they protecting?
Who are they protecting… now?
