verse 1 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 verse 2 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 bleeding I’m sorry, can’t you hear me speaking? How is it now, now that I’m screaming? verse 3 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 bleeding I’m sorry, can’t you hear me speaking? How is it now, now that I’m screaming? verse 4 I know, I am a strong woman Never questioned my strength, it was passed on Proud my mother wanted respect more than love (mute) Kia kaha, be proud, stay strong, go on
