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
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?
