lyrics

Well I’m walking through a forest. It’s burning to the ground.

I'm so focused on my road I fail to look around.

I’ve picked my destination, despite the eyes following me.

Is she going to burn is she going to burn or can she stand the Heat?


But hell I’m not the only one hundreds of generations,

Women round the world combat discrimination.

We’ve come along way from no vote, no say, noose around the neck

And even burned at the steak.


But we’ve picked our destination, despite the fear of the defeat.

Are they going to burn are they going to burn or can they stand the heat?

Yea can they stand the Heat alright so I can stand the Heat.


Well let’s think back a few hundred years.

And recall all the blood sweat and tears yea.

And for a second take off those comfy shoes.

And realize there is still women out there,

Denied there right to choose.

No choices to make no.

Nothing but rules to break.

Left ignorant and scared

And living in a world they’ve come to fear.


Well I lead with it everyday,

Either I’m working too hard or I can’t pull my weight.

Cause I’m dammed if I do and I’m dammed if I don’t.

If I dot want to be dammed then I best go home.

But I’m not going to go no I’m here to stay.

Its more than a job yea its more than pay.

Does it hurt you to say that I make the same that you make?

Does it scare you to think of me with the same responsibilities?


Yes I’m walking through a forest. It’s burning to the ground.

But I'm so focus on my road I fail to look around.

Cause I’ve picked my destination, despite the eyes following me.

Is she going to burn no I’m not going to burn or no cause I can stand the

Heat, yea I can stand The Heat.
