I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo
  I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two
  Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do
  So have I for you
    Your seeds of misery have sprouted and they try to block my way
  The worst gets the better of you and you try to disarm me with an embrace
  Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime forgiving what is cruel
  So have I for you
    Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun
  That's all I need to free myself
    I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo
  I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two
  Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do
  So have I for you
    I have justified every wave in our ocean
  I have covered every range of emotion
  And just like the sea has spent eternity at the mercy of the moon
  So have I for you
    Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun
  That's all I need to free myself
    This bird's gonna fly so high
  Watch my sky come undone
  Mama you can choose the rain
  But I choose the sun
