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
