Welcome here

Isn’t it funny that they start to hear you

When you find your voice

When you finally speak up

Isn’t it funny that they make room for you

When you start to take up space

Instead of shrinking back

And playing small

You might find you don’t have to speak up

You just have to speak out

Speak at all

And you don’t have to elbow your way in 

You just have to pull out the seat at the table

That has your name on it

And find that maybe they were

Just waiting for you to show up

All along

Welcome to the table

You are welcome here
