Sophisticated lady of the north
I'm here in the crowd watching her sway back and forth in time
And I wanna know all the scenes she's seen
How I wanna feel all the places she's been

Chanteuse of the prairies, troubadour at heart
But more content to just play her own part on the stage of life
And I wanna see the world through her eyes
For when she sings, there's no one she can't beguile

Here for your consideration
All her loves, lost and found and out of bounds, on display
And she's done waiting for your validation
Men listening deal in extremes,
Saying, "Silly schemes and naive dreams"
She is only the lovesick dove, the heartbroken lamb
In the eyes of lamb

Sister, they see through you like cellophane
Sneaking stares through the windowpane of your soul
But they don't know how you play the game
Protecting the queen, always keep your cards close

Warm-hearted woman, giver of pure light
I'm fierce, and I'm fearful, and I'm going at it blind (going blind)
Learning to fan the flame that burns within
To trust my heart's compass when my confidence wears thin

Driven like Athena, wearing colours of the sky
Marrying insight and intellect, I refuse to comply with what came before
I am no reckless daughter, but I too have my power
Like my mothers here before me, I'll be here 'til the final hour

Here for your consideration
All my hurts - raw, the healed, the well concealed on display
And we're done waiting for some kind of approval
Give us space to reign and rule
Let our passion be the fuel to carry on our song

Sister, they see through us like cellophane
Sneaking stares through the windowpanes of our souls
But they don't know how we play the game
Protecting the queen, always keep our cards close

Doesn't it feel like they're judging you from the inside out?
Well, don't be afraid to cry
You're the goddess with the artful eye
Foreseeing the future long before the change of tides
Forever my penny yellow blonde,
Let your spirit sing on high
Your inspiration won't expire
Release the pain and the doubt you've been forced to keep confined
Softness is the strength you desire

Sister, they see through us like cellophane
Sneaking stares through the windowpanes of our souls
But they don't know how we play the game
Protecting the queen, always keep our cards close

You know you're never gonna fold
