Puedo Ser 03:00
Dancing on to my next plane Little hint of merengue All but dead to my old ways You can find me there Puedo ser una mujer Venezolana And when we're there You can braid my hair If you wanna 2 o'clock pouring my tea In our home on the Black Sea Where you first said you love me You can find me there Puedo ser una mujer Europea And when we're there When my body's bare You can pay up Tennessee where the trees grow Boston streets that I don’t know Indiana where I’ll always be home You can find me there Puedo ser una mujer Americana And when we're there I can take to the air If I wanna I can be a woman so free A woman so Woman so

Home 02:49
When the sun is fading On your summer evening run Where you see your future timelines Pick your favorite one When your daddy calls you Just to be in touch Holds the phone up to your dog You love that girl so much We don’t have to know Where the long road goes We’ll just sing out all the way home No use asking why Put your hand in mine We’ll just sing out all the way home Staying up til morning Just talking about boys Finally accepting Happy is a choice When the day is over And you’re crawling in your bed Fall asleep, not a creep Of the ugly in your head Finding yourself pretty And finding yourself home Looking for the answers but letting yourself roam I am alive, coming alive

Monarch 03:37
I am the gypsy moth traveling I am inside the wool unraveling Monarch, monarch I can hear your heart Monarch, monarch I can hear You are the white tailed dove floating You are the lighted love knowing I could hear it from the start

I Am Woman 03:23
This one's for the drinkers of beers This one's for the keepers of fears This one's for the one you call real late This one's for the soccer players The carpenters and harsh naysayers This one's for the love you love to hate I am woman hear me roar I do the shopping I keep the score But find me paralyzed to let this in Don’t you speak a word about All the blood I'm sweating out Or someone might see through this pale thin woman skin This one's for the independents Masters of their own defenses All of you who'd rather die than lose This one's for the calloused fingers The rhythm keepers and backup singers All the things that you are trying to prove So what, I wanna love somebody my whole life (damn right, damn right)

Baby 03:52
She was born on the back of a ship Momma said, “Oh baby, the hearts you'll steal.” Turn to the curve of her hips Those little hearts, they take so long to heal Nobody calls her baby She was raised on the waves of the sea Daddy said “Oh baby, just raise your sails.” The cold wind blows and she’s free Lets out her hair, leans out over the rail She is the helm of the ship They say “Oh baby, just take the lead.” Words on the back of her lips Spilling out when she finds herself on her knees "Just trying to tell you my story, Just trying to say where I came from, Not chasing glory, But you keep on getting my name wrong." Nobody calls her baby Nobody calls her baby Nobody calls her baby "Somebody call me baby."
