When I was young
I wanted to be Jon
It wasn't hard
Short hair, no curves to speak of
I could do things
I couldn't do as Jen
Ride bikes with boys
Kiss girls and make some noise
I grew to be
A Young Lady
Catholic Girls School
Will try to do that to you
Never fit in
To love was to live in sin
So I stood out
I was born to let it out
This world it wasn't made for women
You know even before you're bleeding
I'm sorry, can't you hear me speaking?
How is it now, now that I'm screaming?
I know
I am a Strong Woman
Never questioned
My strength it was passed on
Proud my Mother wanted respect more than love
And her mother taught her that she could want for more
This world it wasn't made for women
You know even before you're bleeding
I'm sorry, can't you hear me speaking?
How is it now, now that I'm screaming?
I know
I am a Strong Woman
Never questioned
My strength it was passed on
Proud my Mother wanted respect more than love
Kia kaha
Be proud, stay strong
