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