Lyrics
GLASS CEILING
Written by Tracey Graham & Maureen Russell

VERSE
Say goodbye to those faded old walls
They've protected you since you were small
Gave you the courage to stand up tall
When others tried to hold you down
Now you got a foot on the first step of that ladder
You want to make a name, to show them you matter
You gotta keep on climbing ignore all the chatter
Cause you're sure of where you're bound
PRECHORUS
Shout real loud to be heard above this ocean
Gotta make waves gotta cause a commotion
CHORUS
Bang bang bang on that glass ceiling
Watch it crack and break see it shattering
When it hits the ground
You'll know you've earned that sound
Bang bang bang
Glass ceiling crash on down
2nd VERSE
This is life up on the high wire
Paycheck is smaller but the bar is much higher
Every move you make is gonna come under fire
'Til you turn small minds around
PRECHORUS
You gotta kick in the doors that have never been open
Just ignore the rules, they were made to be broken
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
And when you see that pretty view from the top
Look down and yell "keep climbing"
Never never stop
HALF CHORUS
Bang bang bang on that glass ceiling
Watch it crack and break see it shattering
When it hits the ground
You'll know you've earned that sound
CHORUS
Bang bang bang on that glass ceiling
Watch it crack and break see it shattering
When it hits the ground
You'll know you've earned that sound
Bang bang bang
Glass ceiling crash on down
Crash on down
Glass ceiling crash on down
