I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do So have I for you
Your seeds of misery have sprouted and they try to block my way The worst gets the better of you and you try to disarm me with an embrace Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime forgiving what is cruel So have I for you
Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun That's all I need to free myself
I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do So have I for you
I have justified every wave in our ocean I have covered every range of emotion And just like the sea has spent eternity at the mercy of the moon So have I for you
Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun That's all I need to free myself
This bird's gonna fly so high Watch my sky come undone Mama you can choose the rain But I choose the sun
