Fight Like A Girl

Little girl alone on the playground
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Wishin' she was invisible to them

She ran home cryin' why do they hate me?
And mama wiped the tears and said
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful"

So hold your head high
Don't ever let 'em define the light in your eyes
Love yourself, give 'em hell, you can take on this world
You just stand and be strong and then fight like a girl

At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
She was never gonna one of the boys, no

She could've gave up on her ambition
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'

Hold your head high
Don't ever let 'em define the light in your eyes
Love yourself, give 'em hell, you can take on this world
You just stand and be strong and then fight like a girl

With style and grace
Have faith and take names

Ten years of climbin' that ladder
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 define the light in my eyes
Love myself, give it hell, I'll take on this world
Yes, I'll stand and be strong, no I'll never give up
I will conquer with love, and I'll fight like a girl
