Girl Enough: A Feminist Anthem

(Shannon Murray)

i am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
i am girl enough to someday win the presidential race
i am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
i am girl enough to run with you and set the face

i could have struck out the king of clout
if you'd just given me the ball
and i could have fought with cassius clay
you know i'm not really that small
and i could have trained to be a nascar driver
instead of learning to sew
you know there's a lot of things i think you should know

i am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
i am girl enough to someday win the presidential race
i am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
i am girl enough to run with you and set the face

i could have built the airplane
it couldn't have been that hard
and i could have traveled the world
if you've let me past the front yard
and i could have walked on the moon
but you wouldn't let me go
you know there's a lot of things i think you should know

i could have been on the highest court
and voted for roe v. wade
unstead of letting people without wombs decide my fate
and i could have found a cure for polio
but you'd rather i sew
yeah there's a lot of things i think you should know

i am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
i am girl enough to someday win the presidential race
i am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
i am girl enough to run with you and set the face

i don't live in a man's world anymore
but don't you think it's time we evened the score
come on ladies, it's time to rise and shine
i don't live in a man's world they live in mine
