EgLe - Glass Ceilings Lyrics

I've walked the path they said was mine
Climbed the ladders, tried to shine
But above me, clear and strong
A glass ceiling, where I don't belong
Every step, a heavy strain
Every effort, met with pain
Through the cracks, I see the sky
But this glass, it won't let me fly
Glass ceilings, where my dreams collide
In the shadows, where I've cried
Through the years, where the system stands
Glass ceilings, I reach with trembling hands
Glass ceilings, where my hope is thin
In the struggle, I can't win
I've pushed and fought to break the mold
But the glass is cold, unbreakable, bold
Every hit, it strikes me back
Leaving me with a heart that cracks
Glass ceilings, where my dreams collide
In the shadows, where I've cried
Through the years, where the system stands
Glass ceilings, I reach with trembling hands
Glass ceilings, where my hope is thin
In the struggle, I can't win
In the quiet, where my strength is strained
Glass ceilings, where I'm chained
Through the night, where the echoes ring
Glass ceilings, I lose my wings
Glass ceilings, where my dreams collide
In the shadows, where I've cried
Through the years, where the system stands
Glass ceilings, I reach with trembling hands
Glass ceilings, where my hope is thin
In the struggle, I can't win
Glass ceilings, as the night falls near
In the darkness, I feel the fear
Glass ceilings, are they here to stay
In the silence, I am scared to fade away
