The seed of "Little Girl, Get Up" was composed at the height of the #metoo movement and fleshed out for a live performance fundraiser benefitting Girls Rock Detroit in 2018. I won't sugar coat it. The sentiment acknowledges that, clearly, shit is fucked. It's fucked in ways we've always known it was fucked. It's fucked in ways we've had to realize were fucked. And it's fucked in ways we've yet to realize are fucked...but even so, *I* *you* *we* are courageously moving ever forward, just doing our best. That's all we can do; and it's enough.
lyrics
Little girl, get up and find your center
Little girl, get up and make your way, we’re moving on
Little girl, nobody’s got the answers
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
And everybody knows that you do what you have to do
And everybody knows, might not look the same for me and you
You wish everybody cared? Ha! Well they don’t, who you fighting for?
It’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
Little girl, get up and find your center
Little girl, get up and make your way, we’re moving on
Little girl, nobody’s got the answers
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
I never would’ve done it if I had known
The devil’s in the details, and when it shows…
I never would’ve done it if I had known
The devil’s in the details, and when it shows…
I never would’ve done it if I had known
The devil’s in the details, and when it shows…
I never would’ve done it if I had known
The devil’s in the details, and when it shows…
Little girl, get up and find your center
Little girl, get up and make your way, we’re moving on
Little girl, nobody’s got the answers
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not
Little girl, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s all wrong.
