Lyrics

She 's an orchid in the rain
Fragile and tear stained
She 's been hurt and she can't hide it
When lightning strikes the ground
And thunder breaks the sky
She's angry and wants to fight back
Not fall apart and cry

She's gonna paint a picture
She's gonna sing a song
She's gonna write a book
She's gonna write a wrong
She's got the choice
She's finally found her voice

When a fire burns out of control
The wind can't help but blow
She knows that she can't hold back anymore

When truth meets the light
She's gonna say what she got to say
And if no one is there to listen
She's gonna say it anyway

She's gonna paint a picture
She's gonna sing a song
She's gonna write a book
She's gonna write a wrong
She's got the choice
She's finally found her voice

Hush little baby
Don't' say a word
Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird
She's found her passion and she's got to be heard
So that won't work anymore

She's gonna paint a picture
She's gonna sing a song
She's gonna write a book
She's gonna write a wrong
She's got the choice
She's finally found her voice
She's got the choice
She's finally found her voice
