She's a woman doing her thing
Working hard, giving everything
Trying hard to love the life she's in
But the walls keep closing in
Smiles at strangers in the hall
Holds herself against the wall
Nobody sees what's burning underneath
All that fire, all that heat

She was fearless once at seventeen
Told the world exactly what she meant
But somewhere between the job and the climb
She swallowed her voice and toed the line

But she's got a voice, she's got a brain
She knows how to start herself again
On the outside just another face in the crowd
On the inside screaming something loud
She is strong, she is kind, she is alive
Watch her bring her inside to the outside
One day soon the world will finally see
Every single thing she was born to be
She's coming out, she's coming through
The outside's catching up to what she always knew

Strangeness all around her every day
People climbing over, looking away
No interest unless she could be used
She took that hurt and she refused
Dug up that teenage fire again
The girl who never needed to pretend
Built her bridges, kicked the roadblocks down
Quietly she turned her world around

She stopped waiting for a seat at the table
Pulled up her chair, she was finally able
Found her voice in all the noise
Reclaimed her strength, reclaimed her poise

She's got a voice, she's got a brain
She knows how to start herself again
On the outside just another face in the crowd
On the inside screaming something loud
She is strong, she is kind, she is alive
Watch her bring her inside to the outside
One day soon the world will finally see
Every single thing she was born to be
She's coming out, she's coming through
The outside's catching up to what she always knew

She was never just a bystander
Never just a name on a lanyard
She was always more than they could see
Now she's living it out loud and free

Inside out, outside in
She was always going to win
Inside out, outside in
Watch her let the light back in

She's got a voice, she's got a brain
Nothing's ever gonna dim that flame
On the outside now the whole world knows
Watch that inner fire finally show
She is strong, she is kind, she is alive
She brought her inside to the outside
Now the world can finally see
Every single thing she was born to be
She came out, she came through
The outside finally caught up to her truth
