The idea was genius
Metropolis for all of us
City of Persistence
Built on a pink collar resistance
By all the ones before us
Who knocked down locked doors for us
Following a blueprint
Of a monumental movement
Everybody listens when she's speaking
Everybody wonders what she'll do
She is queen sized
She is world wide
Trailblazing her way in a sensible shoe
And you can, too (4x)
You can see it in the sidewalks
Downtown and all around
These used to be road blocks
Till one by one she came and burned them down
Inspired to go higher
She built us an empire
Anyone is welcome
To this everyday rebellion
Everybody listens when she's speaking
Everybody wonders what she'll do
She is queen sized
She is world wide
Trailblazing her way in a sensible shoe
And you can, too
you can, too
you can, too
you can, too
And if you're willing
The possibilities are thrilling
Stand up and repeat after me
I can be anything
I can be anything
I can be anything that I want to
I'm sayin'
I can be anything
I can be anything
I can be anything that I want to
And you can, too
you can, too
you can, too
you can, too
The idea was genius
Metropolis for all of us
City of Persistence
Built on a pink collar resistance
