Tune: Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

Tags: Sexism, Youth

Where will all the young girls go?

As the years go passing 

Where will all the young girls go?

Holding their hopes

Where will all the young girls go?

As their dreams and visions grow

They advance and their visions grow

Keep on learning and they know

That this will help them fly.

Where will our granddaughters be?

In all the years to come

Where will our granddaughters be?

Short time from now

Where will our granddaughters be?

Women!  LIKE US, STRONG AND FREE!

That’s what we wish for them

That’s what we hope for them.

We are not, we’re not giving up

We are not EVER giving up

We know we’re in this struggle for the long haul

We’re not giving up

Shoulder to shoulder, we’re not giving up

Although we’re growing older, we’re not giving up

We know we’re in this struggle for the long haul

We’re not giving up

We ain’t sittin’ crying, we’re not giving up

We stand up to lying, we’re not giving up

We know we’re in this struggle for the long haul

We’re not giving up

We are not, we’re not giving up!

We are not EVER giving up

We know we’re in this struggle for the long haul

We’re not giving up

We’re up against Big Dollar, we’re not giving up

We still know how to holler, we’re not giving up

We know we’re in this struggle for the long haul

We’re not giving up

We are not, we’re not giving up

We are not EVER giving up

We know we’re in this struggle for the long haul

We’re not giving up
