Firm Hand
Deux tziganes, sans répit, grattent leurs guitares,
Ranimant du fond des nuits toute ma mémoire
Sans savoir que roule en moi un flot de détresse,
Font renaître sous leurs doigts ma folle jeunesse
Refrain:
[Tzigane?]
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is chê mênaga mênaga raz
E khê raz, is cho raz
Is cho mênaga mênaga raz
Jouez tziganes, jouez pour moi avec {vos deux} flammes
Afin de couvrir la voix qui dit àmon âme:
Où as-tu mal? Pourquoi tu {m'as
Real
I am what I am
I'm super fortified hundred proof girl with a band
And I'm a velveteen rabbit made of steel with a plan
I'm not your seventeen girl but its not worth a can
Of worms, I'm not your beauty queen
I'm not the girl in glamour magazine
I'm not running for miss popularity
Cause I won't be what I can't be
CHORUS:
But I want to be real
I want to find out who I am
And I will find my way to heal
And I will find my voice my stand
I am who I am
I am woman hear me roar and I am salt, I am sand
A million starfish stranded, landed, I'll throw back what I can
I'll save the planet, change the world, I'll make a one girl stand
I've got better things to do than be shown off
I won't be the doll you lock up in a box
Don't expect me to be anything I'm not
Cause I won't be what I can't be
CHORUS
Approval is your sword
Popularity your crown
But I'm not one of your subjects, you can't bring me down
You say I lose your approval if I'm not cool like you
Well, here's a newsflash for you - I've got nothing to lose
Your laughter is hallow because I don't care
You look down on me, but I'm not there
I've got nothing to prove and nothing to lose
Nothing to prove and nothing to lose
CHORUS
And if I never find a place that I can call my own
I will have tried I will've been free
I'll be alive as long as I'm still trying to be me
As long as I'm still trying to be me
