Shadows creeping in from down below We’re shadows creeping in from down below Lies slithering around where no one knows We’re lies slithering around where no one knows We’re dangerous creatures, yes it’s true We can’t change it, how about you? Living in darkness we have one hope We want to live in happiness Now we’re ready to let the light in Now we’re ready to begin We’re dangerous creatures, yes it’s true We can’t change it, how about you?

Not afraid to be sad Being real is not bad We are strong all as one With each others’ motivation We are matriarchs (4x) I AM FREE TO BE ME LET ME DREAM HEAR ME SCREAM Here’s our story so listen up We’re dope females that’s whazzup Apologizing, that ain’t for me. All we want is equality. Yeah all we want is equality I have rights to be me Rather be honest than have modesty What year is this? Is it 1950? Stop your judgement. It’s 2017! I AM FREE TO BE ME LET ME DREAM HEAR ME SCREAM WE ARE MATRIARCHS

Oops...I stepped on a Cheerio Then everything became cleario We were sitting around sprouting names Glitter Sauce! Hot Sauce! Heart Crew! The Delphiniams! Glitter Bombs! At Girls Rock, it’s a good community We learn to shred guitars And claim what is ours Meanwhile, on the streets and in houses The animals feel like tiny mouses Grown men, 8th grade boys We beat them all, girls stand tall We’re the Glitter Lords (2x) Food trucks, tacos, snacks galore Pterodactyls, workshops, We want some more! Grown men, 8th grade boys We beat them all, all girls stand tall We’re the Glitter Lords (x1.5)

Traveling the world Been from Rome to Egypt Working hard, yeah I know that’s how you get it I turned around and noticed they were staring… I stood up and gave them some advice…. You can stare all you want, but a picture lasts longer (2x) You can’t waste our time or change our minds… We will UNITE! We’ve fallen down and it’s only made us stronger Been around and helped up others. Let’s keep things bright! Let’s UNITE! We’ve been here for awhile, so let’s help each other smile! I’ve been inspired all my life to help out others My friends & my family in all their wonders I walk outside and feel the breeze, Can we all enjoy that for eternity, please? Why complain about things when there’s so much to love? (2x) You can’t waste our time or change our minds… We will UNITE! We’ve fallen down and it’s only made us stronger Been around and helped up others. Let’s keep things bright! Let’s UNITE! We’ve been here for awhile, so let’s help each other smile! We will UNITE! We’ve fallen down and it’s only made us stronger Been around and helped up others. Let’s keep things bright! Let’s UNITE! We’ve been here for awhile, so let’s help each other smile!

Sitting on the railroad tracks from yesterday Fading in and out with the vaperwaves Desert breeze blowing in my hair I don’t think I’m ever going anywhere This melancholy madness lends to angered sadness Take me away from here Walking on the tracks alone Cursed it seems to always roam Take me away from here Lights are passing over The places we don’t call home anymore You’re clutching too hard, too afraid of reality And I’m afraid of what’s behind that door This melancholy madness lends to angered sadness Take me away from here Walking on the tracks alone Cursed it seems to always roam Take me away from here

The rain is pouring, but I’m still smiling The rain is falling on my window Thunderstorms sing me to sleep Thunderstorms give me a sense of relief Women will rise as lightning will shine Thunder will rumble as our voices unite We thrive in power as the sparks ignite (2x) Little sister don’t be frightened Thunder is the music in our ears Lightning is the flesh of our heels Still you dance in your bright yellow dress Women will rise as lightning will shine Thunder will rumble as our voices unite We thrive in power as the sparks ignite (2x)

Summer used to be a bore Couldn’t take it anymore Then camp week came And all I wanted was more, more, more MORE! Girls Rock! Girls Rock! Girls Rock Grand Rapids! (repeat) Girls play the bass Guitar is in your face Beats on the drums Keys that make you hum, hum, hum HUM! Girls Rock! Girls Rock! Girls Rock Grand Rapids! (repeat 2x)
