The Breaking Chains

The chains of custom, long they bind,
A girl's potential is left behind.
But voices rise, a chorus strong,
To break the chains, where they belong.

They fight for justice, hand in hand,
Against the wrongs, across the land.
For equality, a right to claim,
Their voices rise, a burning flame.

The breaking chains, a symbol bold,
Of dreams and futures, yet untold.
They fight for freedom, every day,
To break the chains, and pave the way.
