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