Our Bodies, Our Banner

[Verse 1]
Sidewalk stares
Eyes crawl up and down my frame
Mouths like daggers
Throwing labels
Saying I’m insane
But I know my skin
Every scar and story it’s in
They can talk all day
I still wake up and choose my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Who told them they own our bodies?
Who crowned them the judge of love?
We’re done being quiet
Sorry
We’re done giving pieces of us
[Chorus]
Our bodies
Our banner
Held high in the middle of the crowd
Our choices
Our answers
We’re done staying small
Staying bowed
Our rights are human
You can’t vote our heartbeat out
Our bodies
Our banner
We’re here
We’re proud
We’re loud
[Verse 2]
Hand in hand
Yeah
We kiss in the grocery line
Old man mutters
Like our joy is some kind of crime
But this is my life
Not a headline for their debate
I won’t ask permission
Just to love
To breathe
To create
[Pre-Chorus]
Who told them they own our stories?
Who said we should hide our light?
We’ve bled for every moment
We won’t dim ourselves tonight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
This skin is mine
This heart is mine
This voice
This choice
Every word
Every line
We have bled
We have cried
Still we rise
Still we rise
You can glare
You can lie
But you can’t live our lives
[Chorus]

pop, Big anthemic pop with bright synths and stomping drums, mid-tempo building into a shout-along chorus. Verses stay tight and rhythmic over sparse keys; pre-chorus lifts with rising pads and stacked harmonies. Chorus explodes with gang vocals, claps, and a wide stereo hook. Bridge drops to vocal and pulse before a final, triumphant chorus.
