C
Little girl alone on the playground
G Cadd9
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Am
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
Am 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.
Am
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
Am
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'
Am 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'
Am 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.
Am
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
Am
You just stand and be strong,
G
And then fight
C
Like a girl."
Cadd9
Oh, with style and grace
Am G
C
Ten years of climbin' that ladder
G Cadd9
Oh, but money and power don't matter
Am 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.
Am 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
Am
Love myself, give it Hell
Cadd9
I'll take on this world
Am
If I stand and be strong
Cadd9
No, I'll never give up
Am Cadd9
I will conquer with love
G
And I'll fight
C
Like a girl
Cadd9
Ooh
THANKS!!!
