To stand as one
We all agree
For pain for happiness
We all shared
For books- the mind, we all worked
With a thought in mind we all assembled
As the Northern girls we stood through it all
With gladness our parents greeted
With eagerness we planned our lives
In one fell swoop we were taken
In one destined day, our lives were changed
Education they say is privilege Like a right to life?
Right to breathe?
Right to know and right to be
But we were taken,
Collected from our fountain of knowledge
And thrust into a forest of terror Knees trembling, we hope and pray
That soon and very soon
We’ll cry in our mothers’ laps
Knees buckling, we dare to hope We will be found!
