I’m gonna be, really honest here
It’s gonna be, a little awkward
But it needs to be said, and I swear I’m not attacking you
With my words
I promise you, I’m not crazy
Not delusional or sick no more unstable than you are
That’s what I tell myself anyways
You see I am afraid
To accept a ride from a friend of a friend
To walk outside at night in the city
To meet eyes with someone who stares at me the bus
Cuz when I go get off they just might follow me
To accept a compliment from a stranger
To wear something feminine that shows me off a little bit
Cuz I gotta be ready to fight for myself and my girlfriends
But I want to put these fears to an end
You might say that it’s better now
That it’s socially unacceptable
But most girls I know, have been at least harassed, been taught to feel
They don’t own their bodies
This might feel, a little dark to hear
Maybe I just live inside a darker corner than the rest
That’s what I tell myself anyways
To ignore that I’m afraid
Chorus
I want to close my eyes and wake up fearless
Because I don’t believe society can change
We’re all told to do what we can with what we have
These days
But it makes me kind of angry that I think like this
I swear I’m not crazy I kinda have to think this way
Can you help us change the world
So that all girls
Don’t have to be afraid
Chorus
Can you help us change the world, so that all girls, don’t have to be afraid
Of being harassed, abused, or killed, or raped
