I Was There

“I Was There” is about the stories that don’t get told. It came from something simple but frustrating—people seeing a veteran sticker and assuming it belongs to the man standing next to her. Meanwhile, the woman who actually lived it gets overlooked like she was never there at all. This song is for the women who served, carried the weight, and came home to silence, assumptions, or being talked over. It’s not about taking anything away from anyone—it’s about making sure the full story gets heard. If you’ve ever had your experience questioned, minimized, or erased… this one’s for you.
