The Official Suffrage Centennial version of Meghan Cary's Women's Empowerment Anthem

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

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
