My only wish

Woke up to the mirror, same story on repeat

High heels in the closet, traded dreams for defeat

Every wish upon the ceiling, caught up in the noise

Told to keep my voice down, like I never had a choice

If I could carry thunder in my hands

If I could rewrite who I am

If I were a man, I'd never have to hide

I'd shout my truth, let the fire ignite

No more second guesses, no apologies to mend

If I were a man, would I finally comprehend?

Walk these city sidewalks, shadows at my side

Wallet in my pocket, but fear I can't disguise

Smirks and empty stares, measuring my worth

Wish I could break the system—tear it from the earth

If I could carry thunder in my hands

If I could rewrite who I am

If I were a man, I'd never have to hide

I'd shout my truth, let the fire ignite

No more second guesses, no apologies to mend

If I were a man, would I finally comprehend?

I'd take the weight off my shoulders

Crash through doors they locked before

Scream my name a little bolder

Could I be something more?

If I were a man, I'd never have to hide

I'd shout my truth, let the fire ignite

No more second guesses, no apologies to mend

If I were a man, would I finally comprehend?But I'm here and I'm standing tall

Voice unbroken, through it all
