Brooklyn rain on a windshield pane
A world at war and a soul in strain.
She stood in the gym while the giants played
The smartest mind in the whole brigade.
They saw a skirt, they saw a dame
They didn't see the ice inside the flame.
But she held the line when the planes went down
The secret queen of a hidden crown.
I know my value, I know my worth
I don’t need your permission to save the Earth.
A golden locket and a crimson light
A lady of the shadows in the middle of the fight.
No matter what the boys in the office say
Peggy’s gonna find a better way.
The SSR and the shield on the wall
She’s the one who answers when the heroes fall.
The war moved on but the battle stayed
In a world of suits where the truth is swayed.
"Get the coffee, honey, file the ink"
While she’s the only one who knows how to think.
She chased the shadows of the Leviathan
Better than the soldiers, better than the men.
She doesn't need a serum to stand her ground
The toughest soldier that the world has found.
She lost her heart to a skinny kid from Queens
Who became a legend on the silver screens.
But she didn't stay a memory, she didn't stay a ghost
She became the fire that we needed most.
She buried the grief, she wiped the eye
And taught the whole world how to reach for the sky.
I know my value, I know my worth
I don’t need your permission to save the Earth.
A golden locket and a crimson light
A lady of the shadows in the middle of the fight.
No matter what the boys in the office say
Peggy’s gonna find a better way.
The SSR and the shield on the wall
She’s the one who answers when the heroes fall.
"I can do this all day," he used to say...
Well, Peggy’s been doing it since he went away.
Founder. Leader. Friend.
The story that never has to end.
