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