Statement of intention:

"My song is directed at the issue of gender inequality and the suffering of millions of women around the globe. This song is aiming to hopefully provide some insight into the suffering and grief that sadly happens daily worldwide, and empower those women who are unable to seek help and feel that they are alone."

Sisters by Isabel Ellis

Our crowns, they shine bright

In our towers of hope

Our songs and our cries

Bring the sun to its knees every night

We may fall seven times

But we’ll stand up eight

And we’ll stand together

As sisters, as friends.

You can’t bring us down

Because we are rising

And we’re so much stronger

When we’ve got each other

And we’ve all got crowns

Yeah, the future is female

And we’re ready to shine

Shine brighter than the sun

The flowers keep blooming

Despite all the darkness

Bringing the sun out

Making the stars shine bright

We are the flowers

And we will bring the sun

And we will soar

Higher than the clouds

You can’t bring us down

Because we are rising

And we’re so much stronger

When we’ve got each other

And we’ve all got crowns

Yeah, the future is female

And we’re ready to shine

Shine brighter than the sun

The glass is stained red

The oceans are crying

For the people who were silenced

Who were taken away

We cry for our sisters

Who hurt and weep as well

Underneath the soil

And up in the clouds

You can’t bring us down

Because we are rising

And we’re so much stronger

When we’ve got each other

And we’ve all got crowns

Yeah, the future is female

And we’re ready to shine

Shine brighter than the sun

You can’t bring us down

Because we are rising

And we’re so much stronger

When we’ve got each other

And we’ve all got crowns

Yeah, the future is female

And we’re ready to shine

Shine brighter than the sun

And we’ve all got crowns

You can’t bring us down

And we’ve all got crowns

You can’t bring us down
