An Ode to Fearless Women lyrics

I think your bones
were made in an elsewhere place
How else does anyone explain
this inconceivable strength that makes you.
The way you look into danger's mouth
and see no cemetery or death.
Instead, carve your name into
it's teeth with a switchblade,
defeat it so effortlessly
and throw your head back and laugh.
Paradox girl, mighty woman,
you are the thing that terrifies them.
Both monster and maiden, both cure and poison,
all of these things and at the same time human.
Defined by no man, you are your own story,
blazing through the world, turning history into herstory.
And when they dare to tell you about
all the things you cannot be,
you smile and tell them:
"I am both war and woman and you cannot stop me."
