Sanat

I hear you in Nairobi, in the hum before the dawn
I hear you in a kitchen in Seoul with the radio on
I hear you in the subway underneath the streets of Rome
Every woman carrying a universe alone

We learned to make ourselves so small to fit inside their plans
We folded oceans into teacups held in steady hands
But there's a bass note in our bodies that the world has tried to mute
An underground cathedral and tonight we shake the roof

Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
The signal never stopped

We are daughters of the frequency
The pulse they couldn't kill
We've been humming since before the world
And we are humming still
Daughters of the frequency
Bone and blood and song
Every woman is a tuning fork -
We've been the signal all along

My grandmother's grandmother sang a melody in the field
A wordless thing that kept her whole when nothing else could heal
That same vibration lives in me, it lives in you, in her
We are the ancient amplifier and the world is the transfer

Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
The frequency is us

We are daughters of the frequency
The pulse they couldn't kill
We've been humming since before the world
And we are humming still
Daughters of the frequency
Bone and blood and song
Every woman is a tuning fork -
We've been the signal all along

Not gentle, not quiet, not waiting our turn
We are the voltage and we are the burn
Shakti is not something we invite in
Shakti is the spine we've always been standing in

Humming, humming, humming still
The daughters of the frequency will
Shake the ground and shake the sky
Until every woman remembers why
She came here... she came here... she came here
