Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Little girl a-lone on the playground

Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed a-round

Wishin' she was invisi-ble... To them

She ran home cryin'

"Why do they hate me?"

And Mama wiped the tears and said

"Ba-by, you're brave and you're beauti-ful"

So, hold your head high

Don't ever let 'em de-fine

The light in your eyes

Love your-self, give 'em hell

You can take on this world

You just stand and be strong

And then fight... Like a girl

At thirty-one, she was wheelin' and dealin'

Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'

She was never gonna be one of the boys... No

She coulda gave up on her ambition

And spent the rest of her life just wish-in'

Instead she listened to her mother's voice sayin'

Hold your head high

Don't ever let 'em de-fine

The light in your eyes

Love your-self, give 'em hell

You can take on this world

You just stand and be strong

And then fight... Like a girl

Oh, with style and grace

Have faith and take names

Ten years of climbin' that ladder

Oh, but money and power don't matter

When the doctor said "The cancer spread"

She holds on tight to her husband and babies

And says "This is just another test God gave me.

And I know just how to handle this"

I'll hold my head high

I'll never let this de-fine

The light in my eyes

Love my-self, give it hell

I'll take on this world

If I stand and be strong

No, I'll never give up

I will conquer with love

And I'll fight... Like a girl
