Who will write our history,
Will it be written by us?
Or will it be a mystery,
That vanishes in our dust?
Who will tell our story,
For the whole wide-world to see?
Who will put the pen to paper
If not you, or me?

Who will document
Our triumphs and our tragedies
Who will share with others
All of our use to be’s
Someone needs to tell it
From our point of view
Who better to sell it
If not me or you?

The world needs to know
Our lasting legacy
And who better to tell it
So everyone can see
That our contributions
Go back to antiquity
We’re the perfect messingers
I’m saying, you or me

No one holds hegemony
Over us, cause we
Were there at the beginning
Of humanity
We’re the mothers and fathers
Biologically
Of all those who have followed
People like you and me
