lyrics

I’ve always been a pacifist but now I’m wondering if I should
Carry a weapon for my own protection
Cause I can’t walk alone at night without fearing for my life
It can’t be expected that I’ll be protected
Will I make it home?
I don’t know

Cause I’m a woman in a world that doesn’t care if you’re the best
They’ll still treat you like you’re less than a man
I’m a woman in a world that won’t believe a word you say
Until after it’s too late to take a stand

I’ve always been an optimist but lately I’m struggling with
The news and the headlines, we’re moving back in time
Still have to fight for my own rights, will my body ever be mine?
I’m not just a vessel, I’m not a delicate petal
But you’ll still call shame
Like I’m the one to blame

Cause I’m a woman in a world that doesn’t care if you’re the best
They’ll still treat you like you’re less than a man
I’m a woman in a world that won’t believe a word you say
Until after it’s too late to take a stand

So cross the street
And keep your keys clutched in your hand
They could protect you if a man tries to take you
Is this real life?
Are you really giving me advice
On how to try and stay alive instead of changing
The men who are trying to kill me? For just existing …

I’m a woman in a world that doesn’t care if you’re the best
They’ll still treat you like you’re less than a man
I’m a woman in a world that won’t believe a word you say
Until after it’s too late to take a stand
Cause I’m a woman in this world I’m not just fighting for my rights
I’m out here fighting for my life every day
Oh I’m a woman in this world I won’t give up without a fight
But some days I feel I might just give in
