[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar in G major] [Verse 1] Searching for the woman I was gonna be someday Seeking a future not running away I joined the Navy to take the higher road And became a girl taken down by things I didn't know [Pre-Chorus] I was desperately wanting to be somebody Thinking all the compliments were real and true Till praise and touch led to being used [Chorus] I didn't know that I had a voice Too young to know that women have a choice I became a victim of someone's desire Anger lit a flame that started a fire I'm no longer a girl who will run and hide Now I have a voice [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar continues] As a mother, veteran, and wife I'm now in control of my life I listen to God's voice and my own My future is not unknown [Pre-Chorus] I'm on a mission to help others survive Fight for their voice, to rise and to thrive Always remember that truth is on our side [Chorus] I didn't know that I had a voice Too young to know that women have a choice I became a victim of someone's desire Anger lit a flame that started a fire I'm no longer a girl who will run and hide Now I have a voice [Bridge] [acoustic guitar strumming intensifies] [Chorus] I didn't know that I had a voice Too young to know that women have a choice I became a victim of someone's desire Anger lit a flame that started a fire I'm no longer a girl who will run and hide Now I have a voice I have a voice [Outro] [acoustic guitar fades out on a final G major chord]
