See Me

Verse 1

Looking out, I see the rise

Of hatred in your eyes.

And I wonder why you boys

Are frightened of my noise?

It's taken years to find my tongue

Always told that it was wrong

And now that I can shout

You don't like what I'm about!

*

Do you see me as a threat?

A thing to box up and forget?

I could be standing at your side

But you just want to deride

Me, not see me for myself

You'd rather place me somewhere else

Where I'm smothered and subdued

Only handled when you're in the mood

*

Chorus

But I am not a handmaid

I will not be a slave

I am not a trophy

I'm more than just a "she".

*

Verse 2

Watch me walk among the crowds

Mouth wide, protesting, loud!

We will not be silenced here

And we will not disappear.

Like a warrior of old,

I will fight for what I hold.

Bare my breast for all to see

Expose my feminine glory!

*

Bridge

Do you see me as a threat?

A thing to box up and forget?

I could be standing at your side

But you just want to deride

Me, not see me for myself

You'd rather place me somewhere else

Where I'm smothered and subdued

Only handled when you're in the mood

*

Verse 3

You do not want us here

But our legacy is clear.

The women that you crave

Live back there in the caves.

In our timely evolution

Comes the time for revolution

We will not force you to cow

But we won't be backing down!

Bridge

Do you see me as a threat?

A thing to box up and forget?

I could be standing at your side

But you just want to deride

Me, not see me for myself

You'd rather place me somewhere else

Where I'm smothered and subdued

Only handled when you're in the mood

*

Chorus

But I am not a handmaid

I will not be a slave

I am not a trophy

I'm more than just a "she".

*

Verse 4

We are mothers, we are girls,

We are bitches, we are pearls

We are savage, we're controlled

We have the fire to be bold.

We just want to be heard

A right that we deserve

We are here and we are strong

And we know that we belong.

Do you see me as a threat?

A thing to box up and forget?

I could be standing at your side

But you just want to deride

Me, not see me for myself

You'd rather place me somewhere else

Only handled when you're in the mood

Chorus

But I am not a handmaid

I will not be a slave

I am not a trophy

I'm more than just a "she".

*

Outro (repeat to fade)

See me!

See me!

Because I won't be backing down

I'm more than just a "she"!

See me!

See me!

Because I'm more than just a "she"

See me in my glory!

Suno helped me to create a song for my lyrics which I have attached here:

I do not think that I could paint myself and walk bare-breasted in the streets of Paris to protest but I admire the spirit of the women who did. I want to live in a world where women are valued for the many things that we embody and I do feel that that status is in danger of being eroded, if it's not happening already (some may argue it's never really been there in the first place). These women obviously feel that there is a clear and present danger and I stand with them against those who would want us to be less, whoever they are.
