I know why they took a stand,
I know why they intended to be heard,
I know why they broke, borrowed, and stole their way to the spotlight...
to be the voice for those who lost theirs,
to be the light for those who could not see,
to be the ear for those who would not listen,
they fought for you,
they succeeded for you,
and together you all found your wings.

I love "Blackbird" by the Beatles and thought of it immediately when I saw your title. This is lovely. I like the lines about them being a voice and a light and an ear and a fighter for people lacking those things. How satisfying it would be to know you helped someone else find their wings...
