Who says

Sat, 04/27/2013 - 21:36 -- SamG23

who says I can't bring change
who says a girl is of no good
they can't carry on a family's name
they're the ones who have to get married
it'll look bad if you can't find a man
hey, who's gonna take care of you?
I'll just say this now
WHO SAYS
I can't be my own provider
who says I can't handle no tough job
I am a woman
hear my cry
I will do amazing things
go ahead sit back
and watch me!
you may underestimate me
go ahead
I'm fine with that
I'm not the one
who'll look like a fool
in the end
a girl becomes a woman
she carries a dream
greater than any man can expect
oh just wait and see
what do you expect of me?
do you think
there ain't much I can achieve?
oh just watch me
and see all the good
I'll bring
just to clarify
one last final time
I ask
WHO SAYS
a woman can't bring change to the world
we can do so much
more than you could expect
we've got a power
that blossoms
no matter what doubt we face
WHO SAYS
we can't do anything
or we can only do this or that
society is wrong
not what everone thinks is right
so...
WHO SAYS?
