Chalkline

Strike Anywhere

We see the billboard girl

the one devoted to ritual

standing in the rain

holding all of her pain inside



I know you're hurting now

but I can't point my finger at

the words I should or shouldn't say

anything

to take the pain away



to walk alone on the streets tonight

and fear nothing

to choose to love what we are in this life

and shine brighter

don't let the crosses and dollar signs

the symbols of man unkind

make you feel

that you're not real

all this time walk out

out of the shadows



we see the lines in chalk

the warning sign for where we walk

in the shadows of the cities maze

to try and fight

for better days



yeah we're ungrateful

yeah we're ungrateful for

holy books, religious men

values of beauty, original sin

all this time we unwind it

i won't give up, i'm not afraid



Resister go

as long as it takes

to reverse the hypocrisy

challenge the stakes

of safety and survival

at the heart

of women's voices

women's art



to walk alone on the streets tonight

and fear nothing

to choose to love what we are in this life

all that matters

don't let the crosses and dollar signs

the symbols of man unkind . . .

I won't give up

through all this time walk out

out of the shadows



if we take

our strength

to market

to trade

for their

ugly

beauty

watch us

grow up

to war



no more
