Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walkin' in the footsteps of a woman I don't know
And though we've been movin' slow, we've gotten somewhere
Walkin' in the footsteps of a woman I haven't met
But I've seen her on the internet, cryin'
[PreChorus]
And if it hasn't happened to you
It will happen to your sister
And if it hasn't happened to her
It will happen to another
[Chorus]
So be a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you, but I do
You are a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you, but I do
[Instrumental]
Walkin' in the footsteps of a woman who's endured
The silence of the sisters who look nothin' like her, yeah
Walkin' in the footsteps of a woman who speaks the truth
No need to be rude, just sit back and listen
[PreChorus]
And if it hasn't happened to you
It will happen to your sister
And if it hasn't happened to her
It will happen to another
[Chorus]
So be a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you, but I do
You are a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you, oh, but I do (Oh)
[Bridge]
Don't let them ask you why
Don't let them ask you why
Oh, why you didn't speak up
Oh, why
Don't let them ask you why
Don't let them ask you why
Oh, why you didn't speak up
Oh, why
[Chorus]
You are a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you but I do
You are a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you, oh, but I do
You are a headlight in this dark night
They might not believe you, but I do
