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
