Big Girl (D.Dagenais)
Maybe someday I’ll have a big girl voice,
wear big girl shoes make big girl choices
And I won’t have to sound like I’m weak
or need you for the harmonies
or lie that I’m a soprano
When I know that I I am an alto
and I’m strong enough
to run my own show
when I’m a big girl
Maybe someday I’ll have a big girl car
wear big girl clothes make big girl art
And I won’t have to look like I’m weak
or need you to take care of me
Or lie that I’m not your equal
in all I have been,
and all I have been through
I won’t walk behind,
but I’ll walk beside you I am a big girl
Father and brother, cousin and friend
don’t make me less,
less than I am
I may be small
but I can’t pretend that I’m not a big girl
Maybe someday I’ll have big girl life
not as mother, lover, sister, wife
Those definitions fit too tight
when there’s more to you than meets the eye
Like poets and painters carpenters
, sailors, soldiers and tinkers
Who don’t give a damn
of what you might think her
she is a big girl.
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
