Day 9: Ani DiFranco Lyrics

1. everything i do is judged
   and they mostly get it wrong
   but oh well
   'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
   and the woman who lives there can tell
   the truth from the stuff that they say
   and she looks me in the eye
   and says would you prefer the easy way
   no, well o.k. then
   don't cry

2. i was a long time coming
   i'll be a long time gone
   you've got your whole life to do something
   and that's not very long
   so why don't you give me a call
   when you're willing to fight
   for what you think is real

3. i am a work in progress
   dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding
   offering me intricate patterns of questions
   rhythms that never come clean
   and strengths that you still haven't seen
   for what you think is right

4. i played the powerless
   in too many dark scenes
   and i was blessed with a birth and a death
   and i guess i just want some say in between
