Battle cry of the daughters

Verse 1 Boots on gravel, dust in the air I come from women who answered prayer They didn’t wait for a safer day When God said move — they made a way Pre-Chorus No crown of gold, no silk or lace Just holy fire on a fearless face Chorus Deborah rose with a battle cry Wouldn’t let her people die Esther walked through palace doors Risked her life for something more Mary said yes though the cost was high Ruth held on and didn’t ask why We’re cut from the same cloth, you and me Daughters of courage — born to be free Verse 2 They tried to tell us to just sit down Keep our faith soft, don’t make a sound But Jael’s hammer still echoes loud And Hannah’s prayers broke through the clouds Pre-Chorus Faith ain’t fragile, faith ain’t weak It finds its voice when the mountains shake Chorus Deborah rose with a battle cry Esther stood when hope was thin Mary carried Heaven within Ruth crossed borders for love and grace Strength and mercy in every place We’re cut from the same cloth, you and me Daughters of courage — born to be free Bridge (strip instruments at first, then build) If God could use them, He can use me Back-road believer with a wild heart free From tents to thrones, from fields to flame He still calls women by their name Final Chorus (big build) Let the drums roll, let the trumpet sound There’s holy ground in this small-town town Deborah, Esther, Mary, Ruth Their faith still rides, their faith is truth We’re rising up for all to see Daughters of courage — like them — like me
