Girl Child Liberty
As free as a bird, let me be.
I want to reach my dream, can't you see.
Help me conquer the world, educate me.
Not what you want, to always touch me.
Look at me now, my life is a mess!
But all you want to do - is just to make it worse.
Invest in me, and I will bring you success.
From a slave to a leader, put a smile on my face.
No, I do not want to become a teenage mother.
Despite the gender, let's be fair to one another.
I'm just a fellow human being; not a birth machine.
Should I be a man to be free? I guess I'll be Justine.
My Job isn't only to clean and cook.
If you try me, my story will be told in a book.
Girl child liberty, that's all I want.
Happiness or sadness, in God I trust.
