Introduction
Growing up a girl
told you can’t play sports
Because you’re too small
Too weak
“You can’t throw the ball”
My initiation to play?
I was a goal post
Day after day
Stand there flinching
Waiting for them to hit me
To show my own strength,
That I was tough,
Get knocked down
Blow after blow
Maybe then they’d pick me
I don’t remember the boys having to do this?
But I guess they were enough.
I didn’t have a generational
Billie Jean King,
To inspire me,
light a fire in me,
Tell me “you can do it too”
20 years later,
Times have begun to change,
What I didn’t have 20 years ago,
You can be part of today.
Bridging verse:
Because we choose to be the ones
To see the change
Be the change,
Make the changes needed.
To represent all the world
As they are
Side by side:
As equals.
Change their minds
Beat the odds
Raise the bar,
And lose the wage gap too.
We say it,
We’ll do it.
because We Are.
WE ARE verse:
Because
We are football,
we are swimming,
we are rugby and we are boxing,
We are racing,
we are hockey,
we are netball and we are cycling
We are tennis,
we are cricket,
we are diving and we are golf
We stay,
we play
WE ARE PRISM
And we support/we’re for women in sport.
