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