Fight like a girl

Just because I love this song by Bomshel. The lyrics ring so so true for me. It's what I was taught by my mom and my dad while I was growing up. It's what I try to live now. It must have been a lesson well taught because I am almost always confident I can, in fact, take on the world if I need to or want to and nobody defines me except me. I had fabulous parents and role models.

Thanks Mom and Dad.

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 them 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 be one of the boys, no

She coulda 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 them Hell.

You can take on this world.

You just stand and be strong

And then fight

Like a girl."

Oh, with style and grace

Kick ass 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 define

The light in my eyes

Love myself, 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

Like a girl
