Don’t Let Them Take Your Power

At seventy-six years old, Stevie Nicks’ latest music release, “The Lighthouse,” is a protest song in support of women’s rights in response to the Supreme Court’s 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade.

According to Stevie, she doesn’t care if the song is a hit; it’s about getting the message out—a rallying cry for women’s rights.

She has also said that she wrote the song to stand up for women, their daughters, granddaughters, and the men who love them.

And she certainly achieved her goal with her powerful and resounding reminder to women. The chorus alone sent chills up and down my spine:

“I have my scars, you have yours
Don’t let them take your power
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power
Unless you stand up and take it back
Try to see the future and get mad
It’s slipping through your fingers, you don’t have what you had
You don’t have much time to get it back”

Her feminist anthem conveys a message of strength, power, and outrage. “This may be the most important thing I ever do,” the icon recently wrote regarding her rousing song.
