Lyrics

At 21, they met and then they courted
At 24, she dressed in white and said ?I do?
He went to work, she set up house
He spread his wings, her dreams got lost
And soon enough, being a mom was all she knew

Kids off to college, she started to feel restless
Though scared and shy, she took her dreams down off the shelf
Dissatisfied as man and wife
She said goodbye to married life
She?s searching for a place to finally be herself

CHORUS:
WELL, ONE BY ONE, WE?RE MAKING HISTORY
THOUGH THE JOB?S NOT DONE, WE?RE ON A ROLL
ACCIDENTAL PIONEERS
TAKING STANDS DESPITE OUR FEARS
A QUIET REVOLUTION OF THE SOUL

At 17, she knows that something?s missing
She wants more from life than what they sell in school
Drugs, sex and clothes in magazines
Serve as distractions to her dreams
She looks for meaning while her friends are looking cool

They think it?s strange she?s unafraid of being different
She won?t drink or smoke or party to conform
Although she?s teased, harassed, ignored
She?s got a dream she?s heading toward
To be herself, and in that way, to start reform

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
On the surface it looks like our lives fit the mold
We play by the rules and we do as we?re told
But under the surface, that?s where truth takes hold

At 35, a civil rights attorney
She?s a source of pride to all the folks in town
She loves her work, she owns a home
She travels widely, free to roam
And though impressed, they hope she?ll one day settle down

They sympathize because she never has a boyfriend
They feel uneasy ?cause she doesn?t fit their plan
But she is far from all alone
?Cause every night when she comes home
She wraps her arms around her woman, lover, friend

CHORUS:
