Girls in the front yard

Turning cartwheels
Feet to the air
Hair to the ground
Turning sky green, grass blue
Flipping narratives on a sunny afternoon

Don't let anyone tell you you're not allowed

Catwalk, spacewalk
Overqualified for the Ted Talk
Girls, for you it's just a cakewalk

Homemaker, humanitarian
Risk-taker, octogenarian
They can't say you're not allowed

Corner office door: your name
Tell them you deserve to get paid the same

They may try to buy you, sell you
Sell to you, buy for you
But you're priceless
You're priceless
Don't mince words, no niceness
Say it with me now,
"I'm priceless."
You're allowed
