LYRICS (SONG WORDS)

Verse 1:

She said daddy, I want to go – mm, I have to go

But… These feelings? Will last, daddy – you’ve been a hero

Mommy, I wanna go

Oh – if you ask me…

I wanna start my family, uh – please, wipe those tears, ma’

Chorus:

With determination and defiance, she stormed from her seat and said “I am a woman, now.”

I want to go; I have to go – I am a woman, now

Verse 2:

The mother is quick to go – she’s been in that world

Yes, it sounds familiar – but daddy is bleeding

It’s a flood of memories – no, it’s not control

He looks to his feet as he listens to the baby girl saying -

Chorus:

It’s what my heart desires; please, thanks for the past – but I am a woman, now

I want to go; I have to go – I am a woman, now

Bridge:

They’re throwing memories once again? Yeah?

The people we know are becoming strangers

Yes, it’s part of the world – but it feels different for my little girl

Mm, my little girl; little girl; my little girl; my little girl – my little girl, huh

We used to play; you know? Mm

She says...

Chorus:

I have to go; I have to go – I am a woman, now

I have to go; please, I got to go – I am a woman, now

I have to go; please, just let me go – I am a woman, now

I have to go; please, let me go – I am a woman, now
