Raise up your words, raise up your words
Raise up your words, raise up your words
Raise up your words, raise up your words, raise up your words, words, words
(repeat as verses progress)

You may not know that it’s so important
You faced the fire and spoke what’s on your mind
Cuz we were listening, so now I thank you for your words, words, words

You spent a lifetime practicing silence
Practicing tact and knowing when to smile
Did it come easy when you lifted up your voice and gave us words, words, words?

And we are built from your every moment
The things you said and the things you would not say
And now I speak, and remember your unspoken words, words, words

Your great-grandchildren, they will recall
Maybe not always, and certainly not all
but you are in them, and now your voice is strong in their words, words, words

A note from Kaitie:
A song for and about my grandmother, honoring the way she carved her space in her 90s. With reverence and gratitude for the increasingly aligned and protected journey it has set the next generations on.
