Lyrics

Say goodbye to those faded old walls
They've protected you since you were small
Gave you the courage to stand up tall
When others tried to hold you down

Now you've got a foot on the first step of that ladder
You want to make a name to show them you matter
You gotta keep on climbing, ignore all the chatter
Cause you're sure of where you're bound

Shout real loud to be heard above this ocean
Gotta make waves, gotta cause a commotion

CHORUS
Bang bang bang on that glass ceiling
Watch it crack and break, see it shattering
When it hits the ground
You'll know you've earned that sound
Bang bang bang
Glass ceiling crash on down

This is life up on the high wire
Paycheck is smaller, but the bar is much higher
Every move you make is gonna come under fire
Til you turn small minds around

You gotta kick in the doors that have never been open
Just ignore the rules, they were made to be broken

CHORUS

And when you see that pretty view from the top
Look down and yell "keep climbing" never never stop
Oh Oh

Bang bang bang on that glass ceiling
Watch it crack and break, see it shattering
When it hits the ground
You'll know you've earned that sound

CHORUS
Glass ceiling crash on down
Crash on Down
Glass Ceiling Crash On Down
