I am my mother's savage daughter,
I wasn't made to fall in line,
neither was I formed to conform to standards,
I have a right to speak my mind,
I wasn't created to fit into the boxes of society,
neither will I lower my voice,
but it's hard to breathe with all the insecurity sitting about,
still, I'll rise like the phoenix,

I am my mother's savage daughter,
words won't bring me down,
I am the fire that burns wild with the wind,
put the pieces together,
no matter how often I'm broken,
I'll swim back to shore,
Every piece of me is more beautiful than you could imagine,
yes! you could only imagine,

I am my mother's savage daughter,
If you unravel the puzzle that lay within,
You'll find more than your might could carry,
The power she possesses scares those over my shoulder,
should I ask myself underwater?
what a warrior would do?
right behind the shadows,
I am all that I need and more.
