Shauna Sweeney - Let It Wave Lyrics

She tunes to news radio
Reads The Journal and The Times
Finally turned 18, standing in the voting line
Down to the polls she drove, thinking of her great-grandmother's world
Would've been turned away for being a darker shade or
For being a girl

But time has marched and so have we
The blazing trail is still burning
The banner has been raised so let it wave

Let it wave, let it wave
Let it wave

They count the ballots through the night
The senator is waiting for the word
Will she get more time to get the people's voices heard?
She just bought a diamond ring
To give to the woman of her dreams
But their union of eight years is not recognized legally

There are battles still we've yet to win
Still learning about what freedom is
'Til we all have had our Independence Day

Let it wave, let it wave
Let it wave

We've come so far, let's not forget
Can't wait to see what happens next
The banner has been raised, now let it wave

Let it wave, let it wave
Let it wave
Let it wave, let it wave
Let it wave
