Verse 1:
In the shadows where the lights don’t always shine,
There’s a melody that whispers, oh so fine.
Sisters of soul, with voices so sweet,
Breaking through the silence, moving to the beat.
Chorus:
Hey, let’s lift up the unsung voices,
Sing their praises, let’s make some noise,
No more hiding, no more choice,
It’s time to celebrate the unsung voices.
Verse 2:
From the heart of Motown to Stax’s pride,
They poured out their souls, on each rhythmic ride.
Marvelettes and Supremes, oh they filled the air,
With harmonies that linger, beyond compare.
Chorus:
Hey, let’s lift up the unsung voices,
Sing their praises, let’s make some noise,
No more hiding, no more choice,
It’s time to celebrate the unsung voices.
Bridge:
Ella, Etta, and Aretha too,
Breaking down walls, they always knew,
That music could heal, music could soar,
These queens of the rhythm forever adored.
Verse 3:
So let’s embrace the past and sing their song,
A celebration of where we all belong,
In every note, in every line,
The spirit of these women will forever shine.
Chorus:
Hey, let’s lift up the unsung voices,
Sing their praises, let’s make some noise,
No more hiding, no more choice,
It’s time to celebrate the unsung voices.
Outro:
So here’s to the ladies whose stories we’ll share,
Their music lives on, floating in the air,
From the silence we rise, no need to be coy,
Let’s shout to the heavens—thank you, ladies, enjoy!
