From the recording SING LOUDER
Inspired by my mom, this song is for all those women (and those who identify as women, those who support woman - heck, everyone of you born of a woman...yeah, I'm looking at you!) who have had the courage to speak your Truth and make a difference in the lives of so many.
Lyrics
I am no one’s baby, I am not a girl
I have spent some decades rattling round this world
I am not the next new thing, I’ve been here too long
I have spent my life turning stories into song
I am not silver, I am not gold
No precious metal for you to mold
I am a river rock tumbled smooth
By the rush of life, this life I choose
I have come to see things through a prism lens
As I make this journey closer to its end
At many turns I’m troubled by much of what I see
But I won’t waste my breath declaring you’ve done this to me
I am not silver, I am not gold
No precious metal for you to mold
I am a river rock tumbled smooth
By the rush of life, this life I choose
I am a river rock tumbled smooth
By the rush of life, this life I choose
Every step along the way
I made my own choice
I tried to choose the truth
That’s how I found my voice
I am not silver, I am not gold
No precious metal for you to mold
I am a river rock tumbled smooth
By the rush of life, this life I choose
I am a river rock tumbled smooth
By the rush of life, this life I choose
