from Shannon Murray, released January 1, 2002
I am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
I am girl enough to someday win the presidential race
I am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
I am girl enough to run with you and set the face

I could have struck out the king of clout
If you'd just given me the ball
And I could have fought with caesius clay
You know I'm not really that small
And I could have trained to be a Nascar driver
Instead of learning to sew
You know there's a lot of things I think you should know

I am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
I am girl enough to someday win the presidential race
I am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
I am girl enough to run with you and set the face

I could have built the airplane
It couldn't have been that hard
And I could have traveled the world
If you've let me past the front yard
And I could have walked on the moon
But you wouldn't let me go
You know there's a lot of things I think you should know

I could have been on the highest court
And voted for Roe V. Wade
Instead of letting people without wombs decide my fate
And I could have found a cure for polio
But you'd rather I sew
Yeah, there's a lot of things I think you should know

I am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
I am girl enough to someday win the presidential race
I am girl enough to go in the light with my naked face
I am girl enough to run with you and set the face

I don't live in a man's world anymore
But don't you think it's time we evened the score
Come on ladies, it's time to rise and shine
I don't live in a man's world they live in mine
