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