Walkin' In A Woman's World is dedicated to the women who raised me but also those who inspire me the most, especially my Mother, Bess Margaret Paul, whose face graces the cover of the single. It is also dedicated to the memory of Kitty Genovese, Carin Streufert and all victims of violence against women and girls. My hope is that Walkin' In A Woman's World will activate voters to understand the issues facing women today, and get to the polls to ensure a new path forward with joy, so let's not stop running until we are Walkin' In A Woman's World. - Paul Metsa
Kitty Genovese was walkin’ home one night
Stranger on Queens Boulevard asked her for a light
She said no and he struck her down as 38 looked on
Now those 38 still hear her cries since Kitty has passed on
Karen came home from college
With story’s of where she’s been
In this town ten years ago she was the homecoming queen
We won’t hear those stories now or meet her boyfriend Dave
It was a short walk from the coffee shop to her shallow grave
Chorus:
She ain’t safe in a straight line
She ain’t safe in a round
She ain’t safe in an airplane
She ain’t safe on the ground
Because my grandma was once just a girl
Well I won’t stop runnin’ ‘til I’m walkin in a woman’s world
A little girls on the playground
She dreams of growin’ up
She might be a fireman
A princess or a cop
Let her be what she wants to be
Let her not pretend let her be a king or queen
Or the next president
