I want to step on out...

Up and Out. Tall and Proud.
This is ME.
(that is how I want to be).

I want to step on high...

Touch the Sky. Feel the Breeze.
Strong and Free.
(that is how I want to be).

I want to shout out loud...

Scare the Crowd. Cause a Scene
Sing and Scream.
(that is how I want to be).

But who cares what I want?

He don't

Keep her down, keep her sweet.
Watch our language, mind her feet.
Keep her there as she should be.

And who else cares for what I want?

She don't.

Wake up girl! What a dream!
Are you stupid, can't you see?
This is what we're meant to be.

I want to step on out.
Just the same.
I want to step...on...out...
