Prelude - break the silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]It was never easy,
it always started as tough, as harsh.
For a woman like me to
dream big dreams is to allow the world to
make you feel small.
At least that's a
challenge I [F]faced,
a challenge I overcame.
As a woman I am prone,
[Am]I am scared to be
taken advantage of for my looks,
for [F]my vulnerable emotions, for my qualities.
They will do [Am]everything in order to get me to sell myself short,
to break [F]me
saying that they made me.
Like snakes hiding in a [Am]bou
quet of thorny roses, I
had to be [C]careful, [Am]I had to keep [F]myself aware not to
succumb to the doses of toxicity
of their puncturing words,
[Am]their venomous lies.
Ready to [C]bury my dreams in [F]the ground which I stand,
ready to rain down their harsh cold
negativity to [Am]soak the gown I wear,
headstrong [C]an d full [F]of pride.
The world is hard, the words are harsh,
[Am]yet I still dream, yet I still stand.
I hope my story empowers [F]you, as women,
to not give up on your dreams.
That us, as [Am]wo men, we have the rights to dream,
to fight for our dream.
Stand [F]your ground.
Do what it takes.
We are women and we have the power
[Am]to be empowered to fight
for the [C]life we want [Am]to live.
[F]Focus on the voice.
Dismantle the noise.
You have
[Am]what it takes to have the life you dream [C]as long as you dream it,
believe [F]it and
work for it. I am
Melite
Serra and I am the vocalist of
[Am]Joko in
Berlin.
