Puedo Ser

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

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

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

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."
