She was stuck in a cage
with no steady grid to hold
But her mind did not know
Oh so young and afraid
searching for light in a song
She's got a mind of her own, now
A mind of her own
And she's gonna claim her side
it took one too many lies
She's trusting her own insight
she will speak her mind
Speak her mind
So you're mad ´cause you can't
get to shut her down
She's a grown woman now
and she hopes that you can
find the peace you need
That's the best kind of free
best kind of free
And she's gonna claim her side
it took one too many lies
She's trusting her own insight
she will speak her mind
Speak my mind
I won't run
I won't lie
I won't hide the world inside
I won't hush
I won't crush
I will never let it slide
I won't lie for you
I won't hide the truth
I won't let you cloud my light
I won't overlook
no misunderstood
I will always speak my mind
I won´t run, I won't lie
I will always speak my mind
I'll speak my mind
