My Grand Plan

I've always been a smart girl
Always made the grade, always got the gold star
I've always been a smart girl
But "Smart girl" only gets a girl so far

You win at every single game
You want a quest they tell you, "Tough!"
If you don't go you'll never know
If you'll ever be good enough

My grand plan
Is that I will be remembered
My grand plan
Just you wait and see

You better wise up, 'cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge
'Cause someday soon someone will notice me

I've always been a tough girl
Always been the one not to run from a fight
Always been a tough girl
'Cause most girls never win if they're polite

So me, I tend to stand my ground
I found I never can give in
It may not be my quest
But maybe it's mine to win

My grand plan
Is that I will be remembered
My grand plan
Just you wait and see

You better wise up, 'cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge
'Cause someday soon someone will notice me

And your step-mom treats you like some freak
And your dad won't give you the time of day
And your mom won't trust you with a quest
So the best thing you can do is run away
Run away

But I have a plan
And I will be remembered
I will be great
Just wait and see

You better wise up, 'cause I'll rise up
Bring on any challenge

And someday soon, I swear
I don't know how or when
But I promise you
I'll never be invisible again
Someone will notice
Me

I've always been a smart girl
