A
Little girl alone on the playground
E Cadd9
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
F#m
Wishin' she was invisible
Cadd9
To them
A
She ran home cryin'
"Why do they hate me?"
E Cadd9
And Mama wiped the tears and said
F#m E
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.
A
So, hold your head high.
E A
Don't ever let 'em define
E Cadd9
The light in your eyes.
F#m
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
F#m
You just stand and be strong
E
And then fight
A
Like a girl."
A
At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
E Cadd9
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
F#m Cadd9
She was never gonna one of the boys, no
A
She coulda gave up on her ambition
E Cadd9
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
F#m E
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'
A
"Hold your head high.
E A
Don't ever let 'em define
E
The light in your eyes.
F#m
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
F#m
You just stand and be strong,
E
And then fight
A
Like a girl."
Cadd9
Oh, with style and grace
F#m E
A
Ten years of climbin' that ladder
E Cadd9
Oh, but money and power don't matter
F#m E
When the doctor said "the cancer spread"
A
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
E Cadd9
And says "this is just another test God gave me.
F#m E
And I know just how to handle this"
A
I'll hold my head high
E A
I'll never let this define
E Cadd9
The light in my eyes
F#m
Love myself, give it Hell
Cadd9
I'll take on this world
F#m
If I stand and be strong
Cadd9
No, I'll never give up
F#m Cadd9
I will conquer with love
E
And I'll fight
A
Like a girl
Cadd9
Ooh
THANKS!!!
