“Why did the little girls grow crippled
While the little boys grow strong

The boys could all sing songs
That's why little girls grew crippled
While little boys grew strong.”

To be just what they are
The boys were told to ask themselves
How high how far
The girls were told to reach the shelves
While the boys were reaching stars
That's why little girls were frightened
To be just what they are.”
