lyrics

For every girl, who is tired of acting weak, when she is strong
There is a boy, tired of appearing strong, when he feels vulnerable

For every boy, who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything
There is a girl, tired of people not trusting her intelligence

For every girl, who is tired of being called over-sensitive
There is a boy, who fears to be gentle, to weep

For every boy, for whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity
There is a girl, who is called unfeminine when she competes

For every girl, who throws out her e-z-bake oven
There is a boy, who wishes to find one

For every boy, struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires
There is a girl, facing the ad industry’s attacks on her self-esteem

For every girl, who takes a step toward her liberation
There is a boy, who finds the way to freedom a little easier
