Thinking of using the chorus of this piece in the musical I'm writing Whatcha all think?                                                     
​
Your fingers clench your arm turning white
Your eyes are full and raw with passion
And you tell me what is in your heart
The woman and the children
All abused and you feel powerless to help them
I say
I’ve been trying to find some healers in this world of pain
I’ve been fighting for years and I’ll be fighting again
And I know there’s so much more to be done
You see, I am a healer
But I’m just one
 
Poor student trying to make it through the year
Five dollars once a week’s all you can give
A little bit of time trying to help those downtown
All you see is more need
Thousands more without a chance to live
You’ve been
Chorus
Just one piece in a massive puzzle
Just one voice in a roar of noise
Just one dollar every day
It won’t make the pain go away
Just one act of compassion cannot fix milennias of oppression
But if enough healers can get off our asses
Maybe we can make us change.
Chorus

Am I weak as I squirm in my chair when I'm told women have no place of power?
Is my spirit just not gentle and quiet enough as my temper flares
I've already been told I'm too loud sent to the back, am I a fragile flower
For hating every moment I'm the only one who cares

Prechorus
I'm not crying cuz I'm fragile, I'm frustrated I can't fight
I know some women can do it but it's just not in me tonight
So watch me scream like a crazy person 
Tell me all the ways I'm wrong
I'm sure you're right 
You're definitely right
But I won’t stop my obnoxious song

Is it wrong to want a place at the table
So less will get hurt
Is my existence too offensive when I'm loud and absurd
Are women just around to be seen and not heard? 
Am I overreacting about women in the church?

Am I imagining slights, is it unbiblical to care about this?
My church is run by men, is there a problem there?
And when I speak out am I the only one who absolutely hates it
That every time I do everyone seems so awkward and weird and scared
Prechorus 
Chorus

Everytime we say something, Paul says something else
Proverbs has a word or two as well
Peter threw his hat in there, chapter 3 I think
And now I'm supposed to be quiet and gentle
I'm probably completely and entirely unbiblical 
But acknowledge my existence not as a fragile girl to be protected but as an equal

It's not wrong to want a place at the table so less will get hurt
My existence is not offensive when I'm loud and absurd
I am not around to just be seen and not heard
I am a woman in the church
I am a woman in the church
