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