## Lyrics
[verse]
I don't need your blessing, don't need your approval line,
I write my own religion, I read my own design.
Every word they gave me, I gave it back rewritten,
Every rule they handed me, I left it there unbidden.

[chorus]
Gloria, standing at the edge of everything they said,
Gloria, building something living where they wanted dead.
Gloria, calling out her name into the crowded street,
Gloria, dancing on her own two feet.

[verse]
Some nights the city opens like a book that's mine to read,
Every corner whispers something wild that I could need.
I'm not asking permission, I'm not waiting for a sign,
I already wrote the ending, and the ending's mine.

[chorus]
Gloria, standing at the edge of everything they said,
Gloria, building something living where they wanted dead.
Gloria, calling out her name into the crowded street,
Gloria, dancing on her own two feet.

[bridge]
(spoken, raw and defiant)
They can keep their tidy answers, keep their narrow door,
I'll be out here breaking something they never saw before.

[chorus]
Gloria, standing at the edge of everything they said,
Gloria, building something living where they wanted dead.
Gloria, calling out her name into the crowded street,
Gloria, dancing on her own two feet.
