How dangerous, a woman
Who finally learns her worth
Her strength, a raging river
Cuts a path right through the earth.
How dangerous, a woman
Who’s tired of being hushed
Tired of waiting for permission
Just to speak, now she erupts.
She dances around the dismissals
Not your darling, not a damsel
Not in distress, she is daring
She is power, she’s an example.
No more white flag, silence, acceptance
Now it is her time to be heard, to chime in
To call out, to rise up, to fix, and to speak.
How dangerous, a woman
who refuses to sink.

How dangerous, a woman
Who finally learns her worth
Her strength, a raging river
Cuts a path right through the earth.
How dangerous, a woman
Who’s tired of being hushed
Tired of waiting for permission
Just to speak, now she erupts.
She dances around the dismissals
Not your darling, not a damsel
Not in distress, she is daring
She is power, she’s an example.
No more white flag, silence, acceptance
Now it is her time to be heard, to chime in
To call out, to rise up, to fix, and to speak.
How dangerous, a woman
who refuses to sink.
