[Verse 1]
Just imagine something happening to you
Something you don't want to do
And in the end it'll kill you
Then imagine that there is a way out
But they say you're not allowed
This thing they know nothing about
[Pre-Chorus]
But tell me boy will you ever have a baby?
Yeah I think not, so let's just maybe
Keep our opinions to ourselves on these things you cannot understand (I can't walk away)
[Chorus]
It's my body, it's my choice
You won't listen so I'm raising my voice
It's not your job to make my decision for me
So I'm begging you for every girl in the world, please rewrite this story
[Verse 2]
Did you know that you can run away
But we can only stay
All we can do is pray for our lives
And did you know you don't have to agree
But please let me be me
It's my right to be free, the choice is mine
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause tell me boy that it's not a human right
'Cause it damn well is and I'm willing to fight
For every little girl who cannot fight for herself (But you can change her life)
[Chorus]
It's my body, it's my choice
You won't listen so I'm raising my voice
It's not your job to make my decision for me
So I'm begging you for every girl in the world, please rewrite this story
It's my body, it's my choice
You won't listen so I'm raising my voice
It's not your job to make my decision for me
So I'm begging you for every girl in the world, please rewrite this story

I wrote this song in 2019, infuriated by the actions of lawmakers against reproductive rights. My hope was to raise money to fight for these rights. In the wake of the overturning of Roe, the song is more important to me than ever.
